Singer reimagines the Porsche 911 Turbo...
(9 February 2022)
As with every Singer restoration, the starting point is a 964, though the end product is very obviously in the image of the original 930-generation 911 Turbo. The body is all carbon fibre and per Singer’s habit, adapts the classic look cleverly without contaminating it. It requires a double-take but if you look closely, the famous ‘shark fin’ arch accents now house intakes for the new engine.
The so-called ‘Whale Tail’ is here – bigger and with new vents – along with reimagined bumpers with styling elements paying homage to the cushioned items on the original. The hips are a bit meatier, the panel gaps are a bit tighter and the Fuchs-style wheels are both bigger and wider. The most obvious difference to us is the much more modern, neater dual exhausts.
The natural character of the Turbo study reflects that of the current 992 Porsche 911 Turbo, in offering a more refined, compliant and usable car for long-distance driving and daily use, in comparison to more hardcore models. Buyers can have heated electric seats, cruise control, sat-nav and wireless phone charging. This ‘Study’ comes with tasteful Malibu Sand interior with Black Forest wood accents, with the option of touring luggage to match. The cabin itself is very ‘930 Turbo, with the steering wheel and seats dead ringers for the G series cars.
Happily, a more hardcore high-performance character can be specified, with optional ceramic brakes and indeed, the more powerful engine specs. By now we know that list prices aren’t something that Singer tends to do. It’s all down to each individual car and how far the customer takes it. Past builds have ranged upwards from £400,000, to the £1.3million+ DLS. As above, you’ll be able to see and hear this car in action for the first time at the 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard, on 23-26 June.
