KALMAR 9X9 Retro Hypercar Makes Global Debut at The Quail

KALMAR Automotive refers to their strategy as "Automotive-haute-couture," and the 9X9 will show many enthusiasts how they combine cutting-edge performance and innovation with timeless, iconic style for the first time. Because of their innovative approach to contemporary coachbuilding, every conversion is exclusively customized for the customer, who will be involved in every step of the design process.

The KALMAR Automotive 9X9, a firm formed by serious automobile enthusiasts with a racing pedigree fueled by their Nordic traditions, will be hosted by company founder Jan Kalmar and exclusive US dealer Bruce Canepa of The Canepa Group, Inc. on Friday, August 16 at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering.

Although it is asserted that one must view the vehicle with the naked eye to fully appreciate the meticulous attention to detail and quality, KALMAR Automotive takes great pride in the fact that their unique conversions combine the best elements of the digital present with the analogue past so they can be driven and enjoyed for many years to come.

The KALMAR Automotive 9X9 displayed in Monterey is equipped with technologies that are typically found only in large OEM auto manufacturers. It has a reliable 3.8-liter turbo engine that produces 930 horsepower, paired with the best double-clutch transmission in the industry. All of this is connected by an advanced active all-wheel drive system that transfers power to the ground through rear-wheel steering and adaptive suspension. The power of the 3.8-liter turbo engine is managed via active engine mounts.

During the course of the more than three-year development phase, a substantial amount of downforce was required because the driver had all of the power. At its height, the finished weight is 1,450 kg, and the latest full-size simulations point to a seven-minute lap time at the Nürburgring.

"The 9X9 is KALMAR Automotive's homage to one of the best road-going sports cars ever made, upgraded to the utmost extent that modern technology permits. The outcome is that we have developed a whole new category of automobiles called retro-hyper-cars " , says Danish Jan Kalmar, the founder of KALMAR Automotive.

For the past two years, we have subtly hinted at the 9X9 on competing Le Mans 24 Hour vehicles by placing our emblem on the rear spoiler. To put it simply, we are not pretentious; rather, our legacy is one of technological and engineering prowess Realizing the 9X9, an automotive fantasy, is a privilege and an honor. The 9X9" will undoubtedly be appreciated by those who comprehend.

Danisi Engineering in Italy created a completely custom double-wishbone pushrod front axle suspension that supports both rear and all-wheel drive 9X9 configurations. Putting power down through superlight magnesium rims and Michelin tires, Tractive's shock absorbers with adaptive valving, variable length, and speed -dependent third shock absorber unit are all designed to perfectly regulate the contact between car and road.

Lightweight titanium brake calipers that are 3D printed have been created by KALMAR Automotive's brake partner CarboBrake to offer the necessary stopping power while also producing a very low unsprung mass. For contemporary, dependable on-road performance, these calipers are matched with ceramic brake discs, and driving systems like traction control, stability management, and ABS are all kept in place.
