Kamm Manufaktur has joined the restomod scene with this outrageous reimagining of the humble Porsche 912. Boasting up to 200hp from its flat four engine, this carbon-clad classic weighs only 750kg. It's the lightest Porsche I've ever driven, so can it take on a 911 as the ultimate classic?

Thanks for sharing Lee. The best 912 Resto that I have ever seen in my 34years of Porsche ownership. Well done and only at 750kgs. Great analog driving, such an experience.

@blkcoupequattro Год назад

Not many people can say they have driven or worked on 1965 912, I have. I recall having a friends 912 for repairs, the carbs were in desperate need of a throttle shaft re-bush, rather than replace with Webers we had the original Solex's re-bush'ed, with new butterflys. The difference was night, and day one all synced up the sound is all to familiar. In stock configuration that little 912 was pretty poppy...

@koolkat969 Год назад

Had the pleasure of seeing this at Goodwood. My Blue Clio 182 can be seen in the background during the in-car discussions. Wondered what it was but managed to zoom in to take some nice pictures from inside the car. I love it more now.

What a hoot of a car to drive I bet! I was absolutely captivated until the very end of the drive where you mentioned the price...unless I win a very, very nice lottery there won't be one of these in my garage! The best measure of the car and how it likely feels was the unfettered laughter and the look on your face Lee!

@Mark-mm1ke Год назад

LOL. While I believe it’s worth the $325k, I think I’ll keep my 1997 Targa ❤ and call it a day. Fantastic car and video. Thanks.

I am fully pro of the 912/912E and the 4cyl Porsches in general! Better handling and far cheaper to maintain!!! ;)

@michaelschnittker7388 Год назад

I've owned several 912's and many pre-74 911's, the 912's were indeed much lighter, when the gas tank was low the front end was light, I'd get a lot of understeer and the steering effort went to near zero. They could absorb bumps like nothing as well. Great cars.

Nine point 42 pounds per HP. AWESOME! Of the six running (and two non running) Porsches I’ve owned, the 912 was my favorite.

@YunusEmreKymaz Год назад

@Andrew-vx2ls Год назад

This car is going in the right direction. Saving weight is the priority over fancy power figures. However, the same can probably be achieved by dipping the body without the need for CF but I suppose some people have to have CF which is probably why the car is expensive.

@Hawkinsnikwah 11 дней назад

interested to hear how you're getting 200+ hp out of the 616... some pretty hefty numbers that are higher than the best 616 builders out there. A lot of power for those 3 main bearing cases. Probably why a lot of the high end 356 guys are switching to 4cy 964 builds for longevity's sake.

@citizenfour9622 Год назад

I appreciate that pricing was discussed at the end of the video. While they don’t work on these models, it’s on-par with Singer and Gunther Werks.

@niklasnotgreta Год назад

A type 4 engine (411, 914/4 etc) fits in this car. A type 4 could be heavily tuned, up to 2.8 l or more.

@flat6fever680 Год назад

@INTERNA9 Год назад

@therainforest4314 Год назад

Now, this is my idea of intelligence in hot-rodding. Remove unnecessary weight, including using a lighter 4 cylinder Porsche boxer engine rather than the typical 6 cylinder, and retaining a much higher level of reliability as well as handling. This car is beautifully detailed and so thoughtfully done. Intelligence, folks, not just horsepower. :)

Blew a chance to get a red 912 for either 6500 or 8500 I can't remember about 15 years ago, thinking about selling my 72 Cuda clone and 2001 Boxster and getting a 912 or 912e.

@peteyoung9850 5 месяцев назад

I used to own a 66' 912

@BrettsGarage Год назад

Do you have any additional info on the engine? I have a 69' 912 with a 68' engine and have been looking for a nice rebuild. I love the Polo engines but they are very pricey and I don't have a 964 engine sourced. Also, I'm curious how the JPS cooling works with the 911 style fan. From what I've seen in the from other builds, that style doesn't translate well to 4 cylinders. Last, which model 901 are they running? I currently have a 911/01 which is supposedly stronger but was rough to get the push/pull clutch to work with the 912 engine. Thanks.

@rotarybreather 4 месяца назад

I'm seeing 205's in the front (at 1:22) and 195's (at 1:25) in the rear - but the narrator said it's the opposite - why put wider tires in the front?

@marklangren3142 Год назад

You can build a relatively low cost 912 that will run with early 911's . 912 motor to 125 hp. Update to vented discs, aluminum M calipers and if you can find them 7" American Mags made of magnesium.

@Andrew-vx2ls Год назад

Agreed except magnesium wheels have a limited (safe) life span as you probably know. It is possible to find aluminium wheels that are just as light.

@david05111 6 месяцев назад

Can you really call it a 912 when most of the original panels have been replaced? The engine, fair enough. But the rest of it *looks* like a 912/911, but has basically all been replaced. The price is mind-boggling
