KAMM 912c Targa weighs less than 800kg

The Hungarian company that creates lightweight cars designed to be driven has unveiled one of its new projects, the KAMM 912c Targa. It is an ultra-lightweight car based on the Porsche 912.

The car weighs less than 800 kilograms thanks to the use of carbon fiber components such as body panels and a roll bar, while the side mirrors, rear seat parts and windows are made of Lexan polycarbonate. This means that it weighs as much as the first-generation Smart ForTwo coupe, but unlike it, this car has sporty characteristics. It is painted in Tangerine and additional equipment includes alloy wheels that resemble classic steel ones, a carbon roof rack with a surfboard.

When it comes to the powertrain, the original 1.6-liter air-cooled four-cylinder engine has been replaced by a 2.0-L engine with 188 hp (140 kW) and 151 lb-ft (205 Nm) of torque. The engine is mated to a five-speed dogleg gearbox, offering a choice of long, short and touring gears. It should also be noted that the car has a TracTive semi-active front and rear suspension, as well as a set of Brembo brakes with a hydraulic handbrake, for a better driving experience.

The starting price of this car is 395,000 euros, and KAMM offers customization of each car according to the customer’s wishes.
