The 930 hp prototype of the Kalmar 9×9, a 911 restomod that pays tribute to the Porsche 959.
-
The 9×9’s interior blends classic and modern, transposing current 911 switchgear onto a simple 993 dashboard.
-
This prototype restomod references the new Porsche 911 Turbo, with a PDK dual-clutch automatic transmission and four-wheel drive.
-
Although the 9×9 is a new addition, Kalmar Automotive already builds around 12 classic Porsche 911 restomods each year.
-
From the windshield forward, the 9×9 is recognizably 992-derived, with that car’s dynamic PDLS headlights, plus huge hood nostrils and wheel-arch vents that evoke the GT3 RS.
-
This prototype rides on center-lock alloy wheels (19 inches at the front, 20 inches at the rear), but production cars will have 959-style magnesium rims.
-
Kalmar claims the 9×9, equipped with a 3.8-liter flat-six engine, can sprint from zero to 60 mph in “around 2.0 seconds.”
-
This particular 9×9 is the same vehicle shown at Pebble Beach this past summer, and has since racked up more than 12,000 miles in testing.
-
Every 9×9 will be bespoke and built to order, and Kalmar plans a limited run of 27 examples.
-
Pricing for the Kalmar 9×9 starts at approximately $2.1 million.
