KALMAR 9X9 Completes Rigorous Testing

After three long days of intensive track testing, Kalmar is delighted with the results of the model 9X9; no mechanical issues. While the team faced other challenges, the car has made significant progress and is now approaching its target weight of 1250 kg. The 9X9 remains a proud tribute to one of the childhood dream cars that inspired this project.

Driver Dennis Lind Comments

“It’s uncommon as a racing driver to jump into a road car and immediately feel inseparable from a car. It’s a fantastic machine, and the team has been working relentlessly to make me happy and achieve testing goals, and I am beyond happy.” The team will now assess the prototype in detail before the next round of testing in the coming weeks.

Jan Kalmar, Founder

“You feel the lightness, the chassis has been stiffened up, and this is felt.  The front end keeps impressing.  The to-do list after the first phase test has been done and had +350 points, now we have 45 new points being done for the next test session.”
