KALMAR is back with another adventure that makes you want to quit your desk job and start driving south. After the Morocco desert test earlier this year, the Scandinavian builder took their rally-spec 911s on a full circumnavigation of the Alps — every major pass, every legendary driving road, and the kind of terrain that tests suspension travel, cooling systems, and driver stamina in equal measure. The piece follows the route through Switzerland, Austria, Italy, and France, documenting the specific challenges each section presented and the way KALMAR’s engineering held up across thousands of kilometers of mountain roads. If the Morocco piece proved the cars could handle desert conditions, the Alps circumference proves they can handle everything else — and look stunning doing it.
KALMAR Beyond Adventure was established by Jan Kalmar, an adventurer, “petrol head,” and extreme driver who is constantly exploring the planet on four wheels. This lifelong passion has led to an extensive network. Jan has pushed the limits of automotive challenges for over 20 years and even set world records in the process.
Charging down a steep Alpine gravel road is something very few people have ever tried – but doing so in a classic air-cooled Porsche? That makes it unique.
