- The RS-6 debuted in early 2024 as a modified 996-gen Porsche 911.
- Designed as a budget-friendly alternative to the Porsche 911 Dakar, with conversions priced at €45,000.
The RS-7 is Kalmar’s newest offering, perfect for those who prefer a newer model. This rugged version boasts:
- Distinctive Features: It comes with larger front air intakes, broader arch extensions for off-road tires, and a lightweight Kevlar composite ducktail spoiler.
- Enhanced Performance: Full aluminum underbody protection and upgraded shock absorbers provide increased ground clearance of up to 210mm.
- Chassis Reliability: The 997’s full steel chassis allows for field repairs—critical for off-road adventures. Jan Kalmar emphasizes the need for a car that can be fixed with basic tools.
- Suspension System: Developed with TracTive Suspension, this system includes adaptive dampers and hydraulic ride height adjustment, maximizing wheel articulation.
- Weight Efficiency: Despite robust modifications, the RS-7 remains only slightly heavier than a standard 997 due to strategic weight reduction.
The first customer model showcases:
- Interior Comfort: Retrofitted Recaro CS seats dressed in Porsche’s Pepita houndstooth fabric.
- Simplified Tech: Sound systems and navigation have been replaced with a Bluetooth speaker and a display for suspension settings.
