EVO magazine about RS-6

Founded in 1998, EVO has become one of the most respected automotive magazines in the world. Renowned for its in-depth road tests, stunning photography and unwavering focus on driving enjoyment, the publication has earned a loyal following among enthusiasts, manufacturers and industry insiders alike. Rather than concentrating solely on performance figures, EVO is known for exploring the emotional connection between driver and machine, whether behind the wheel of a lightweight sports car, a modern supercar or a classic performance icon. Its annual awards, comparison tests and feature drives are regarded as some of the most influential in the automotive world.

For that reason, it is always a great honour when EVO chooses to feature a KALMAR creation. The magazine’s reputation for independent, highly critical journalism means that its attention is never taken for granted. Over the years, EVO has experienced several KALMAR projects, appreciating the philosophy behind our cars and the focus on real-world driving enjoyment. Whenever a KALMAR car appears in the pages of EVO, it serves as recognition from one of the industry’s most respected voices—a publication that understands what truly makes a driver’s car special.

Kalmar has created a 996-based safari car for £60k – it’s a 911 Dakar for a third of the price.

“Take a Porsche 911 (usually a 964), throw most of it away, install upgraded components, garnish it in ‘exquisite materials’ and charge a six or seven-figure sum. That’s the typical recipe for a 911 restomod, but Kalmar’s RS-6 is a little different.

The RS-6 comes from Kalmar’s ‘Beyond Adventure’ range of upgraded off-road 911s. The Danish firm was founded in 2018 and has become known for its ultra high end, highly bespoke 964 and 993-based restomods, but also builds safari cars under the Beyond Adventure banner. The RS-6 is the most accessible of these, sitting below a more heavily re-engineered 997-based model called the RS-7. The RS-R, which we’ve also driven, sits at the top of the tree as a kevlar-bodied 964 with a 4.1-litre flat-six and c£500k price tag.”
