KAMManufaktur delivers first commissioned 912c in the U.S.A

Having officially launched in the U.S.A, KAMManufaktur has delivered its first Stateside commission - the 912c - to a customer in Miami.

Based on the classic Porsche 912 of the 1960s, the ultra-lightweight 912c has a class leading weight of 750kg - in part thanks to its extensive use of carbon fibre. It is fitted with a re-engineered 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine based on the 616 powerplant, which offers 188bhp and 205Nm of torque.

The bespoke 912c also has modified JPS air-cooled cylinder heads and pistons, newly-created individual throttle bodies, and bespoke intake and exhaust primaries

Crafted in Budapest, Hungary, each bespoke 912c is based upon a classic 912 donor car updated with lightweight carbon fibre panels while retaining its original chassis. It also comes with custom wheels with a carbon hybrid option.

Every component of the car has been redesigned to save weight, with scratch-proof Lexan polycarbonate windows and 40mm Cro-Moly tubing reinforcing the body.

The 912c's interior sports a sound system with Morel speakers, choice of racing or touring carbon fibre seats developed by Fusina, and FIA specification belts

In its interior, Electronic Smiths instruments are complemented by an authentic Fusina steering wheel, with a brand-new signature seat also designed by the latter. Modern features like air conditioning and heated seats are also included.

Two 912c models are available: the Semi-Carbon which retains some original steel bodywork, and the Full-Carbon with a full carbon fibre bodywork. Both will be joined by the open-top 912c Targa in 2025.
