    BTW, there are rumors of a forthcoming 992 Safari version (from Porsche factory) for customer use (street legal)...

    A 992 Safari will find many takers, I think.

    Rally edition of a 992 would perfectly fit its footprint. Good idea!

    Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer – All-terrain Competition Study unveiled

    (5 January 2021)

    The unveiling of the Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer – All-terrain Competition Study (ACS), developed in partnership with Richard Tuthill.

    The All-terrain Competition Study was undertaken by Singer at the request of a long-term client who, inspired by legendary rally cars including the 911 SC/RS and the Paris-Dakar 959s, asked for modifications to his air-cooled Porsche 911 that would enable the car to compete in off-road racing and to demonstrate extensive all-terrain exploration capabilities.

    To highlight the broad repertoire of the ACS, the client commissioned two machines, one – in Singer’s iconic Parallax White – focused on high-speed desert rallying and a second – in Corsica Red – configured for high-speed, high-grip tarmac events and disciplines.

    Porsche 911s prepared here at Wardington have dominated rally events for decades, with recent victory in the 2019 East African Safari Classic marking a fourth win in the gruelling 5000-kilometre event across Kenya and Tanzania. Our Safari successes sit alongside deep expertise from the world of WRC competition and events such as the Paris-Dakar.

    “As is our habit, we chose to tackle our subject thoroughly,” notes Singer founder and Executive Chairman, Rob Dickinson. “We’re proud to have found the best in the world – always our ambition – to help us reach our goals. Like Williams Advanced Engineering before them with the Dynamics & Lightweighting Study, Richard Tuthill and his incredible team have allowed us to bring our vision for the All-terrain Competition Study to life in the most spectacular way.

    “We’re confident that this machine will appeal to off-roading enthusiasm of all kinds, whether it be in the pursuit of professional competition at the highest level or adventure and exploration. ACS advances Singer’s capabilities in forced-induction, all-wheel drive, off-road ability and dynamic response – all of which will support our ongoing mission. This pursuit of focused competition studies is something you will see more of from us in the future.”

    “This collaboration brings together the best of innovation, cutting-edge technology and decades of real rallying experience into one, amazingly capable, all-terrain off-road racing vehicle,” says Richard Tuthill, who was first to drive the ACS. “In the 1980s, my father partnered with Prodrive to prepare bodyshells for the Rothmans 911 SC/RS that served as part of the inspiration for ACS. I am delighted to have partnered with Rob and the team at Singer to bring this incredible machine to life and look forward to working with them in the future.”

    Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer ACS Specification Highlights:

    • Off-road competition capability, conceived with events such as the Baja 1000 and Dakar Rally in mind, but suitable for a range of surfaces

    That thing looks like a lot of fun. Also the way that rear clam opens and how it looks underneath, porn.

    Re: Singer Porsche 911 Safari

    It looks stunning and I think it is really cool. It is an excercise in futility though; who's gonna trash a million dollar car like this? Also, the carbon panels may be designed to be replaced easily, but I think for repairability in the field, nothing beats aluminium. Try drilling a hole in a carbon fender for a field repair... Anyway, still way cool imho.

    Re: Singer Porsche 911 Safari

    More pictures of the Corsica Red variant please.  That’s the one that has the use on the brittle back roads around here.  The area is a bit geographically interesting since the flat Midwest plains are punctuated by the moraines left behind from the glaciers over ten thousand years ago.  Many of the roads in moraine regions originally existed as wooly mammoth trails that later were used by the bison, deer and indigenous people.  The overall elevation isn’t great however the elevation change is significant as the roads twist around kettle lakes left behind from the receding glaciers.  Those back roads are in disrepair so taking a car like a Lamborghini Performante is impossible, if one wants to keep the front spoiler intact.  Even the S6 scraps its nose occasionally.  


    Re: Singer Porsche 911 Safari

    I personally know who the owner is. he commissioned the 2 built ones. Outside of those 2, Singer will build more at 3 mil a piece.

    There are only so many Singer owners in the world, not hard to find out, especially when I know the top 3 customers of Rob.

    If I were in a privileged position, I would rather spend an outrageous amount on this car rather than on the various absurd and mostly unusable upper echelon hypercars. like Koenigseeg, Chiron, Pagani  etc.

    Why not put a 911 body on a TRX chassis/drivetrain then? Much simple and better off-road capabilities. Smiley Smiley

    Re: Singer Porsche 911 Safari

    I'm with RC and Nick on this.  If it said Gemballa or Masonry we'd be screaming about an abomination.

    The entire back side of one's car ends up coated in dust from driving on a dirt road--is the engine, cooling and air filter out back really a good place for dirt racing?


    Re: Singer Porsche 911 Safari

    waiting for PDK:

    -is the engine, cooling and air filter out back really a good place for dirt racing?

    Yes, makes for much better handling and traction.  Air filters can be cleaned and radiators have more room in the front where the best cooling is accomplished.
