Kalmar’s Porsche 959-Inspired 9X9 Breaks Down During Nurburgring Testing

The Danish firm is developing the $2.1 million 9X9 to support three different Porsche powertrains

Danish coachbuilder Kalmar is continuing development work on its new 9X9 at the Nürburgring. The prototype faced issues in testing, underscoring the challenges of small-batch engineering. Kalmar plans to build only 27 examples of its 993-based supercar, each priced around $2.1 million. Kalmar has learned the hard way just how challenging it is to engineer a car capable of storming around the Nürburgring.

Apparently, the car completed one formation lap before encountering an issue on the second lap, forcing the driver to switch on the hazard lights and limp around the circuit. While the boutique firm probably wasn’t thrilled about encountering issues, we do have to applaud it for going to the trouble of testing the car on the world’s most demanding racetrack, particularly given that this is usually the playground of large OEMs, not small coachbuilders.
