Faint of course, because on the outside a 912 – the four-cylinder variant of the first and second 911 – cannot be distinguished from a 911. However, KAMManufactur, as the company is full name, also distinguishes itself in other ways from the seemingly endless series of 911 restomodders of today. While the Singers and Gunthers of this world often provide the cars with a kind of neo-classical appearance with modern elements, Kamm actually keeps everything completely ‘period’. The Kamm 912c has been optically overhauled, but only with parts that already existed around the time of this car’s birth. A lowering and a thick set of ‘steel’ wheels (actually alloy) are part of this, but also a lovely ‘seventies’ color and sporty striping. Kamm has grabbed 912s before, but the news is that this is a Targa. A Targa with a soft, removable rear window, which combines the open feeling of a convertible with a safe roll bar. It turns out to have another advantage: you can mount a roof rack and a surfboard on it. Kamm also sticks to the distinguishing feature of the 912, and simply screws an air-cooled four-cylinder behind the rear axle. However, it is a two-liter instead of a 1.6, which produces 185 hp around 6,500 rpm. Not much, you say? Yes, because this car weighs less than 800 kg! Kamm achieves this, among other things, by making various bodywork and attachment parts from carbon, without this being visible to outsiders, of course. For example, the front screens, front hatch, doors, bumpers and hood are secretly made of carbon fiber. Driving pleasure is further enhanced by a manual five-speed ‘dogleg’ gearbox, a limited slip differential and ventilated Brembo brakes. The beautiful interior is minimalist and ‘racy’, but still equipped with a modern audio system for those who get tired of the charming rumble of that boxer engine. Of course it costs something: Kamm asks €395,000 for the already built 912c Targa. Of course, you can also place orders yourself, and almost anything is possible at Kamm.
