It had a four-cylinder engine instead of the 911's larger six-cylinder, and 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

British-based Theon Design is well underway with production on its lightweight takes on the 964, while Singer’s DLS is packed with exotic material. But what if, for some reason, you’d prefer your bespoke Porsche with a flat-four over a flat-six?

Read more...Are you a Porsche fanatic who wants to retain the classic looks but keep the modern performance? Well, it’s good news! Budapest-based KAMManufaktur (KAMM) - yet another challenger to the likes of Singer and Theon Design - has released its most hardcore, bare-knuckle product yet with the 912c full-carbon edition.
Read more...Even in its earliest form, the Kamm 912c was a very easy car to like. It was clearly a beautiful object, a feast of carbon this and lightweight that making for the rudest four-cylinder Porsche in a very long time...
Read more...At the time we drove a prototype and got on very well indeed. It was raw and race-ready with unassisted brakes, no driver aids and motorsport-spec suspension. Now the production-spec version has been revealed, and although it may look similar from the outside, there have been some serious alterations under the skin.

It sports a 2.0-litre engine that revs to 7200rpm and produces 190bhp, all linked to a five-speed dogleg gearbox and racing clutch. Its body is mostly carbonfibre, there’s little inside by way...
Read more...Four cylinders? Yep, the 912 swapped its sibling’s famous flat-six for an air-cooled four-cylinder shared with the Porsche 356 SC. From the factory, it displaced 1.6 liters and produced 90 hp.

Read more...We’re standing outside the Goodwood estate, looking around the fabulously dainty little Kamm 912c.
