Hungary-based car company KAMManufaktur has revealed the final form of its restoration project: the KAMM 912c. The company takes the lesser-known Porsche 912, which came out in 1965 through 1969, and restores it to the current restomod standards. The asking price is €360,000 with the donor car already included.
It is believed that the Porsche 912 helped both the German car company and its customers to make a smooth transition from the 356 to the 911. It used to be delivered with a tame 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine rated barely above 100 horsepower, but it still sold over 32,000 units.
The tuners added a little bit of comfort and performance to the original formula, but not too much. Aside from the mandatory exterior restoration and interior overhaul, the car received a tuned five-speed manual gearbox, smoother steering and a new engine.
The stock block makes room for a 2.0-liter four-cylinder mill rated at 190 PS (187 hp / 140 kW) and 228 Nm (168 lb-ft) of torque. The parameters aren’t too impressive compared to the modern 911 lineup, but with a curb weight as low as 750 kilos (1,653 pounds), the restomod should be plenty fast. Paying extra will let you further reduce the weight by swapping out more metal bodywork for carbon. Last but not least, KAMManufaktur says a more powerful engine is available for those who aren’t satisfied with the standard option.
If you supply your own Porsche 912 for the conversion, the cost will drop to €320,000. That said, well-kept 912 models in original condition tend to cost between $50,000 and $100,000 in the USA these days, so it might make more economical sense to let the company source the car for you.
