The short-lived 912 was Porsche’s entry point into the lineup by sticking with a four-cylinder engine instead of the 911’s larger six-cylinder. It was sold from 1965 and 1969 as Zuffenhausen’s cheapest sports car, serving as a direct successor to the 356. However, this custom 912c is anything but affordable since it costs \u20ac400,000 ($437,000).<\/p>\n

Built by KAMM in Hungary, the Porsche 912c adopts a full carbon fiber body kit to shave off more than 300 kilograms (661 pounds) of fat. The restomod now tips the scales at a remarkably low 699 kg (1,541 lbs) and can be had with an exposed weave or a painted body. This draconian diet brings another benefit as weight distribution is now at nearly 50:50.<\/p>\n

If you happen to have a Porsche 912 in the garage, KAMM will only charge you \u20ac360,000 ($393,000) for the build. That’s still a lot of dough for the “poor man’s 911” but the Hungarian 911 specialist does a complete overhaul of the car. It installs a larger 2.0-liter engine that revs to 7,200 rpm and boasts electronic fuel injection as well as throttle bodies. The air-cooled four-pot produces 190 hp, more than doubling the original output of the smaller 1.6-liter mill inherited from the 356 SC.<\/p>\n

New for 2024 are aerodynamic tweaks, improved air conditioning, better audio and phone connectivity, and new seat options.<\/p>\n

The 912c is also available in a semi-carbon configuration that weighs 750 kg (1,653 lbs). It costs \u20ac360,000 ($393,000) or \u20ac320,000 ($350,000) if you supply the donor car. Deliveries are scheduled to commence in early 2024, and KAMM promises there won’t be two identical cars.<\/p>\n

Porsche built nearly 30,000 coupes and around 2,500 Targas during the 912’s five-year run but it’s unclear how many have survived in the 60 years that have passed.<\/p>\n
