Kremer Racing - Tuned Porsches

Tuned Porsches

In the 1970s, Kremer initially tuned 911s, 914-6 GTs, and 934s. However, with the Porsche 935, Kremer began designating their tuned models with the letter K, followed by a number in order of construction. Eight cars were designated as such.

  • 935 K1 - Their first privately built 935 in 1976
  • 935 K2 - An improvement on K1 in 1977.
  • 935 K3 - An attempt to mimic the Evolution bodywork on the factory 935/78s. The most successful 935 variant, due to its technical advantage running an air/air intercooler instead of the air/water units used by the Porsche factory. Winner of Le Mans 24 Hours in 1979.
  • 935 K4 - An all-new variant of the 935 for the early 1980s, featuring a space frame
  • CK5 - A custom-built Group C prototype based on a 936 meant as a temporarily replacement until the 956 was available for customers in 1983.
  • 962CK6 - An improvement on the factory 962
  • CK7 Spyder - An open-cockpit prototype using 962 mechanicals used in Interserie
  • K8 Spyder - An improved version of the K7 for use in the International Sports Racing Series and 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Kremer also built a 917 for use in the 1981 24 Hours of Le Mans, and would also make improvements on the 911 GT1 and GT2 in the 1990s.
