KAMM Manufakture concedes that adding comfort-oriented features to its Porsche 912 has added “a bit of weight.” So this 912T is a bit on the portly side. A whopping [checks notes] 860kg. Eight hundred and sixty kilos! That’s a battery pack on a new SUV! Probably...
“It is still an incredible 100kg lighter than the original 912,” KAMM reports, so welcome once again to the world of bespoke, new-old Porsches that you’d happily daily.
This one, of course, isn’t powered by a battery pack, but instead by a 2.0-liter air-cooled four-pot developed by KAMM’s engineers who have all served with distinction at places like Porsche Motorsport, Singer, and Koenigsegg. Safe to say they know their way around an engine.

It develops a whopping [checks notes] 160hp and 201Nm of torque, so no, it won’t be troubling a GT3 RS. But with such a relaxed, comfort-oriented gait, it won’t cause you any trouble at all.
Especially because in this comfort spec 912T, it’s been tweaked. So yes, there are still individual throttle bodies, air-cooled heads and pistons, bespoke intake and exhaust manifolds and so on, but the redline has been dropped down to 6,500rpm.
There’s also a “non-valved” touring exhaust, so it’s less aggressive (but still punchy), a more chill calibration for the five-speed dog-leg manual, comfort-tuned TracTive dampers, more comfortable ‘Touring’ spec seats, and other bespoke details.
And naturally, a bespoke price. They start at €245,000 (around P16.216 million) excluding the donor car, though KAMM is only building five at a time. And it’ll start building them early next year.
“The 912 is a timeless classic and in the 912T we have re-imagined it as a sports tourer that delivers elevated comfort without diluting the pure joy of driving,” said KAMM boss Miki Kázmér.
