Experience Grand Touring Redefined: Classic Soul, Modern Refinement.
The Genesis of Refinement: From Track Beast to Touring Elegance
Kamm, the esteemed Hungarian automotive restorer, has unveiled its latest masterpiece: the 912T. This new creation diverges from their previously launched, uncompromising track-oriented 912C. The 'T' in 912T signifies 'Touring,' highlighting its fundamental shift towards enhanced road usability and driver comfort, proving that the Porsche 912, often overshadowed by its six-cylinder sibling, can stand proudly as a sophisticated and capable machine in its own right.
Engineered for the Open Road: Power and Smoothness Reimagined
A significant aspect of the 912T's new character lies in the enhancements made to its 2.0-liter air-cooled flat-four engine. To foster a more manageable and enjoyable on-road experience, the engine's redline has been adjusted to 6500rpm. Power delivery has been meticulously recalibrated for greater tractability, complemented by the installation of a quieter, non-valved exhaust system. Furthermore, the updated five-speed manual transmission features revised gearing, specifically tailored to optimize everyday driving on public roads.
Luxurious Interior and Integrated Technology: Seamlessly Blending Eras
Beyond mechanical refinements, Kamm has dedicated attention to the 912T's interior and ride quality. The bespoke Tractive dampers have been fine-tuned to deliver a notably more comfortable ride. Inside, passengers are welcomed by touring-style bucket seats designed for long-distance comfort. For those desiring modern conveniences, options such as a contemporary sound system and wireless phone charging are available. These technological additions are ingeniously integrated to ensure they do not detract from the vehicle's authentic vintage ambiance, preserving its classic allure.
Lightweight Design and Dynamic Performance: A Spirited Companion
Despite its focus on comfort and refinement, the 912T remains a remarkably agile and spirited vehicle. Its engine generates a robust 161 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque. Coupled with an exceptionally low curb weight of merely 860kg—approximately 100kg lighter than an original 912—the car achieves an impressive power-to-weight ratio of 187bhp per tonne. This significant weight reduction is largely attributable to the use of carbon fiber for essential body components including the bumpers, wings, bonnet, and boot lid.
Precision Engineering and Exclusivity: Craftsmanship Beyond Compare
The engineering excellence extends further with individual throttle bodies, custom intake and exhaust primaries, and upgraded cylinder heads and pistons enhancing engine performance. Underneath, a ZF limited-slip differential and a bespoke hydraulic clutch contribute to superior handling and power transfer. The 912T is offered in both coupe and Targa configurations, with pricing commencing at €245,000 (excluding the donor vehicle). Production will be conducted in limited batches of five units, with manufacturing scheduled to begin in the early part of next year, ensuring exclusivity and meticulous craftsmanship.
