WORLD OF KAMEI

With a lot of wind in the shields, KAMEI and Jan Schiegnitz starts into the summer season. The kite surfer, born in Würzburg, and the Wolfsburg-based manufacturer agreed into a new partnership last year. From now on, a Delphin 380 roof box ensures the safe transport of the high quality kite surfing equipment consisting of kiteboard, kite shields, suits and other accessories. The improvements resulting from the collaboration will be incorporated into the product development of the already very good series of roof boxes. So there is nothing in between a successful kite surfing season. More to Jan Schiegnitz under: www.janschiegnitz.com

THE KAMEI RACE GOLF

THE NOTHELLE-KAMEI AUDI

At the end of eighties he was regarded as the fastest golf in the world: the striking red / orange / yellow striped racing car of the Wiesbaden auto accessory manufacturer KAMEI. This car, in order from „rallye racing“ editor Bernd Renneisen - later racing secretary for the Automobile Club of Germany (AVD) - and KAMEI men Mira Lochman - now head of Milotec - drove directly into the hearts of viewers. On the NürburgringNordschleife, the Marburger Wolfgang Wolf succeeded to establish this little golf in the middle of a Porsche pack. Also on the ring Mira Lochman outclassed the competition. Soon the Japanese model specialist Tamiya dedicated this golf two models, including a remote-controlled scale 1:12.

In the late 1970s KAMEI had expanded its front and rear spoiler programme to numerous makes. With the accent on performance and low fuel consumption every KAMEI spoiler underwent intensive tests in the wind tunnel at VW and in some cases at Daimler Benz as well. Till now KAMEI‘s presence on the racing circuit had been limited to advertising. This changed in 1981 when they started optimizing racing tourers. With KAMEI‘s help the wind resistance factor for the Audi Coupés was reduced by 7% and the lift on the front axle brought down by 38%. The following years of intensive involvement in motor racing paid off. The experience KAMEI gained here was invaluable and flowed directly into their road spoiler tuning operations.

Today - 35 Years after the KAMEI-Racegolf race debut at the Group 2 – worldwide four persons build there own KAMEI-Racegolf replica car. These cars are build with a lot of hard work and the results are in all details more as perfect. Around the world many people loves the KAMEI-Racegolf replicas, so some of the best car magazines at the countrys have reported about the race cars and their owners projects. The owner of the cars f. l. t. d. r. Michael Flynn (England), Jaroslav Janák (Czech Republic), Peter Jones (Australia), Markus Seidl (Germany).

This by Nothelle restored Nothelle-KAMEI Audi Coupé has a very special connection to the modern Audi Sport family. Henri Lotterer, father of Andre Lotterer the two times Le Mans 24 Hours overall winner with Audi, was part of the team behind this Nothelle raching car. Mr Lotterer was heavily involved with the assembly of the car’s engine, which ensured that the car was amazingly quick and loud. It is a 2.0L engine producing around 240 bhp.

THE KAMEI UR-KÄFER

With the first spoiler of automobile history

WORLD OF KAMEI

In the last days of the war, when the Volkswagen factory manufactured wings for Junkers, Karl Meier had also gained some experience in aircraft construction. Although he was only marginally concerned with aerodynamics at the time, this knowledge was later to play an important role in the KAMEI success story. Irritated in the early fifties by the tail weight of the VW Beetle and its unstable handling, particularly at speeds around 100 km/h – which was really pushing it in those days – Meier came up with a remedy. He constructed a „horizontal stabilizer“. Today this aerodynamic aid is known as a spoiler. To test the market for his „stabilizer“ Meier set out for the Geneva Salon in 1953.

Barred from exhibiting inside the famous gates for want of the necessary funds for entry he simply declared a few square meters of roadside in front of the Salon as his outdoor exhibition site. He was nevertheless unable to convince his contemporaries of the advantages of his strange gadget and so the original spoiler was packed away until its time was ripe. 25 years later it was hard to imagine cars without spoilers and at high speeds they were imperative. Not surprisingly, KAMEI was one of the leading manufacturers right from the start.
