Porsche 912 Restomod

Between 1965 and 1969, Porsche produced one of its sports cars that was an entry-level variant of the 911, the Porsche 912. It was offered in compact 2+2 Coupé and Targa body styles with an air-cooled 4-cylinder engine taken from model 356.

The Hungarian company Kamm Manufaktur will present a restomod of the 912 called the Kamm 912c, which will be available at a price of €325,000. The car has kept its original shape and the steel parts are replaced by carbon fibers, which reduced the weight from the original 968 kilograms to 750 kilograms. It is equipped with an adjustable suspension that includes coilovers with custom tuning, reinforced chassis, Lexan windows, new shock absorbers, Brembo aluminum brakes and a set of new tires.

Inside, the design from the Porsche 912 has been retained with some changes such as carbon seats replacing the original ones and plenty of accessories made of lightweight materials.

The standard Porsche 912 is powered by an air-cooled 1.6-liter 4-cylinder petrol engine with 90 hp (67 kW) and 98 lb-ft (133 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission with a limited-slip differential. However, Kamm Manufaktur installed a new 2.0-liter flat-four engine, produced by JPS Aircooled, with 170 hp (127 kW).

Manhart TR 750 based on the Porsche 911 Turbo S

The German tuner Manhart revealed its new work, the Manhart TR 750. The car is based on one of the most powerful models from the Stuttgart company, but also one of the fastest production cars in the world, the Porsche 911 Turbo S.

Manhart prepared a special equipment kit for this model, which brings H&R springs that bring the car closer to the ground by an additional 30 mm, MANHART decal set, 200 cell downpipes and a full exhaust from Kline innovation to enhance the sound track of the powerful sports car.

The basic Porsche 911 Turbo S is powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine with 650 hp (478 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. Thanks to the software remap, the TR 750 has 100 hp more than the base model, so it now counts up to 750 hp. That’s 50 hp more than the 911 GT2 RS, which is powered by the same engine with 700 hp (515 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (PDK) that transmits power to both axles.

Manhart hasn’t released performance data for the tuned TR 750, but we expect nothing less than what the Porsche 911 Turbo S can do, 62 mph in 2.7 seconds with a top speed of 330 km/h.

BMW X5 M F95 upgraded by Hamann

When it was introduced, the BMW X5 M was considered the first SUV to offer dynamics like a standard car. Now the competition is much bigger, but this model still attracts the attention of both buyers and tuners, and one of them is the German tuner Hamann GmbH.

Unlike other tuners, Hamann did not change the engine power. So the BMW X5 M F95 is still powered by a standard 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 617 hp (454 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. That’s more than enough power to push the 2,400 kg SUV to 62 mph in 3.7 seconds.

The car, which at first glance emphasizes the sportiness, is equipped with a special equipment kit that includes aerodynamic parts such as frontspoiler, roof spoiler, new front splitter, rear winglets, rear diffuser with four 115 mm round tailpipe trims, sports springs that make the car 35 mm closer ground, with a set of 23-inch Anniversary Evo wheels in three colors (Hyper Silver, Graphite Gray or Matt Black) wrapped in 315/25R23 Continental Sport Contact 7 tires.

Inside, the comfortable interior will provide driving pleasure even on long distances. The red emblem on the carbon center console and the black logo on the steering wheel is the first thing you will see when you enter the vehicle. There are also sports pedals, Hamann markings on the footrests, floor mats, in the trunk, as well as LED door projectors with the HAMANN logo.
