Porsche-KMW SP-30 (chassis #008) was the eighth and last KMW ever built. The car was designed by Jo Karasek and built by Erwin Kremer’s highly successful Porsche racing team.
History:
The car was designed to compete in the European Interserie competition which was modeled after America’s Can-Am series. The early fields were filled with storming Porsche, McLaren, March, BRM and Lola Can-Am cars along with a few Ferrari 512S and Alpha T33/3. The first year’s winner was Juergen Neuhaus in a Porsche 917K.

The KMW SP-30 was campaigned in over 59 races from 1973-1984 by the likes of famous European drivers such as Hans Muller Perschl, Sepp Greger, Kurt Hild
and Dr. Siggi Brunn.Reference: Original Wagen Pass (log book) with all race certification and ownership information. On its debut, the original KMW had a 2-litre six cylinder engine delivering 230 bhp.The ultimate version was fitted with a turbo charged 911R four-cam engine. If you cross reference the original Wagen Pass (log book) and the race results from a few Interseries races, you will see that this particular KMW actually ran the turbo charged 911R four-cam engine at a few venues but was unsuccessful and went back to a conventional motor.Reference: Porsche Specials By Lothar Boschen and Jurgen Barth, page 100.
After the KMW SP-30 retired from active racing it was moved to the Sinsheim Technik Museum in Heidelberg, Germany where it was on display for 10 years.Reference: Sinsheim Technik Museum Brochure with KMW on the cover.
In 1995, the KMW SP-30 was purchased by Dave White of Tampa, Florida. The car raced at the world’s largest ever historic Can-Am race, “The Can-Am 30th Anniversary Celebration and Race.” The KMW was featured on the cover of Victory Lane Magazine in September 1996 chasing a one of a kind 1968 Ferrari 612.
