#15

Another few months have passed by, and we are busy as always, but want to share our progress before the summer kicks in.

Update Overview:

  • Progress
  • Sales / Promotion
  • Partnerships and production
  • Update on the KALMAR 9X9
  • Status of the KALMAR 7-97 Turbo
  • What the press says
  • Beyond Adventure range
  • Activities in the coming months, big and small

Progress:

We got the 8 cars handed over in Finland and had a total of 19 cars up there – a proud moment for all team members.

We are doing the final updates and customer adjustments on Turbo #0, just like we are waiting to do the track hand over to the customers in the near future. Turbo #1 is shortly after that, then we will aim to hand over a 7-97 every second month thereafter. Until we reach full capacity with 1 per month.

We have a very large increase in interest directly to us. 2 more RS-7 have been sold and 5 more are pending. Same for the Turbo model – we have a significant interest in the remaining 7 cars.

Sales:

As we are now ready to present the RS-7, Turbo and 9X9 to the press and customers, We hope this will further increase the demand for our cars.

It has been a long drought, but we simply needed to overtake the others, so our cars stand out and not full of mistakes.

Please let me know if you have any prospects so we can show them the cars. Also, if you have any good suggestions for activities

On the Dropbox you have all the updated model presentations.

 

Partnerships / Production:

We can now deliver cars within a max 12-month production time on 7-97, 9X9 and 4 months on the RS models. We have invested heavily in this, so we need your support to make it worthwhile.

 

Update on the KALMAR 9×9:

Winter testing went very well, and we are now doing the final upgrades to make the car ready for presentation, press / customer drives and the Nürburgring lap time. TUV approval is 80% done, as we were a bit too loud, and this has been sorted.

We have passed 42,000 km with the prototype and we expect on 1/05/2026 to have the final spec fully done.

Please study the product news on Dropbox and start asking questions, as well as let us know how to attract your customers.

Update on the KALMAR 7-97 Turbo:

The car is a real head turner and very fast!

The performance testing will take place mid-May as the final mapping and engine performance is now sorted… Winter testing showed some issues with the oil system, but this has been sorted. These cars were not made for minus 40 deg Celsius anyway.

Full photoshoot by Alex Penfold

The LCD screen is truly unique and has arrived well with the people who have seen it, and t combines what we have set up to achieve in general with the 7-97  = classic meets modern. There is so much more to to the car than  than just the LCD.

We can now control heat management via the PDM just as an example and can remote fault search on the electrical system But trust me the power will make everyone speechless. The power- to- weight ratio is like a Bugatti Veyron! We have had to limit torque in the first 3 gears and with the 3 engine maps you chose freely between 550- 600 or 650 hp!

 

BA Safari Range RS-7:

This is our top seller at the moment. This is a cool car as it does all you want, but all with comfort and great appearance.

We have faced some issues with the cars, but they are all sorted. We are on the 5th version of shock absorbers as they kept giving up just like we saw issues with the prop shaft mount.

Also, the electronics was not working with us as the car felt it was “flipping” around, so now we have 2 levels of PSM off. Stage one as Porsche intended, and then the KALMAR way where it is really off!

Starting at 100,000 euro, this is a bargain compared to the 992 Dakar, but this can be used off-road, so let’s sell!

 

Beyond Adventure Safari Range:

We have delivered a nice RS based 993 where we have made a lot of additions, especially the intake system as we have seen air filters issues and air intake temperature are too high.

Activities:

We plan press drives of Turbo and 9X9 in the second half of May, just like various events and partnerships will also take place.

The focus will be a stand at the Le Mans Classic Legend in July, a drive across USA with high level media persons ending with Jay Leno in LA. We will go to Audrain Motor Museum at the east coast for their version of Pebble Beach event in October.

We plan to enter a partnership with Supercars Owners Circle so we can present the cars there. Right where the customers are.

Please consider bringing customers to our SOS in Lapland as this really works for selling.

We have started the Boxster for the “Late Brake Show” so there will be some attention for the RS range there too.

We have decided to pass Goodwood 2026 as this is sponsored by Singer this year, just like Speed Week does not fit our calendar and we will focus on events closer to you, guys.

 

You as a dealer:

Please be proactive in selling and ensure that customers understand we are not just another Singer copy but a far more engineered car than their Classics. Our conversions offer customers much greater flexibility for individualization.
