Auto Icons Becomes Exclusive APAC Distributor for KAMM 912C

A New Class of Air-Cooled Obsession Arrives in APAC
We’re excited to share that Auto Icons has officially secured allocations for the KAMM 912C and represents the brand as its exclusive distributor for the APAC region.
“The Kamm 912c is one of the world’s best drivers’ cars.” - KAMM Manufaktur
KAMM Manufaktur enters the restomod landscape with a standard that advances the entire craft, rewriting the air-cooled rulebook. The boutique Hungarian restomod and engineering atelier specializing in air-cooled Porsche classics, particularly the Porsche 912 platform. It’s a rare opportunity to experience one of the most meticulously engineered lightweight air-cooled builds in the world where the car is intensely connected to the driver.
The 912C: Where Lightness Becomes a Religion
While most restomods gravitate toward the 911 platform, KAMM chose the Porsche 912 platform. It’s the sweet spot of Porsche’s early era. It’s light, beautifully balanced, and deeply mechanical in the way only an air-cooled car can be.
The 912C begins with the spirit of the original 912: a car beloved for its handling, finesse, and featherweight feel. KAMM amplifies that DNA through obsessive engineering, extensive weight reduction, and a ruthless focus on mechanical purity. Sharper, purer, and far more focused. Think of it as the 911’s quieter sibling who grew up to become a championship-winning ultralight boxer.
But the 912C is only the beginning.
KAMM’s lineup now includes the 912T, the 912C in both Semi-Carbon and Full-Carbon specifications, and the upcoming 912C RS - a highly limited run of just nine pre-sale units. Each offers its own expression of KAMM’s philosophy, from lightweight touring to full-tilt performance.
Every build - whether coupe or targa, RHD or LHD - is a fully bespoke commission, shaped by hand and tailored to its future owner. The result is a machine with razor-sharp reflexes, transparent feedback, and a driving feel that hits you square in the chest. The cars offer the kind of connection modern performance ones can’t replicate - a purity that exists only when you remove the unnecessary and elevate what matters. And the motoring press agrees. As PistonHeads puts it:
“Less than 200 hp and little more than 700 kg had seldom seemed so compelling.”
Air-Cooled Soul, Reborn for Drivers Who Actually Drive
Restomods often get caught between nostalgia and novelty. The 912C refuses that trap entirely.
Every component earns its place. Every gram has a purpose.
- Carbon-fibre panels. All KAMM 912 variations weigh as little as 650-850 kg, giving it one of the best power-to-weight sensations in the air-cooled world.
- Reworked suspension geometry.
- A meticulously re-engineered flat-four heart - developed with JPS Aircooled and already running highly modified JPS heads for our specifications, soon to transition to exclusively KAMM-designed components - built to deliver something increasingly rare in modern motoring.
- Interior stripped back to the essentials, then rebuilt with obsessive detail.
The 912C delivers a sensation that feels both vintage and surgically precise. It’s an analog car with clarity, a classic with discipline. Turn the wheel, and it reacts instantly. Feed it a corner, and it settles with confidence. Open the throttle, and that flat-four sings with a tone that’s aged like a vintage instrument - sharpened, tuned, but unmistakably air-cooled.
The Auto Icons team stated it’s
“the car Porsche would build today if they kept the air-cooled ethos untouched.”
A New Chapter for APAC Collectors
Air-cooled purists, Porsche historians, engineering obsessives - the 912C sits at the crossroads of all three. Securing allocation isn’t about adding another badge to our portfolio. It was about championing a car that embodies everything Auto Icons stands for: craftsmanship, authenticity, and driving passion at its most distilled.
Colin Chow, founder of Auto Icons remarked on the partnership,
“We’re proud to partner with Kamm Manufaktur and bring the 912C to collectors and drivers across the APAC region. The 912C embodies the essence of less is more and this collaboration marks a new era for enthusiasts seeking something lighter, sharper, and more soulful than the usual supercar suspects.”
We’ll be sharing more from the brand, deeper dives into the engineering behind the 912C, and first looks at the bespoke commissions headed to our region. A new icon of analog driving has arrived and we’re honored to be the one bringing it home.
And yes, our commissions are already underway.
