Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer Turbo Study

At Singer Vehicle Design from California, the third act of restomods based on the Porsche 911 is beginning. The well-known Classic, which has been built several times as a Coupé or Targa, and the Dynamics and Lightweight Study are now being followed by the Turbo Study. This is Singer’s response to numerous customer requests for turbo engines for their restomods in addition to the known naturally aspirated engines. The vehicle now presented in the first computer drawings reinterprets the very first 911 Turbo. All details such as the wide wheel arches, the large whaletail spoiler and the interior are presented in a modernized version.

Carbon body

The first pictures show a Porsche 911 Turbo Reimagined by Singer as a customer has already ordered it. He chose “Wolf Blue” for the exterior in combination with an interior in cream leather (Malibu Sand) with black wood trim. All body parts are made of ultra-light carbon. The front end features a new spoiler lip and LED headlights. There are also new flush-mounted turn signals and position lights in the front bumper. New air intakes are located in the shark fin-like black areas in front of the rear wheels. At the rear, an additional vent is found below the whaletail, as the spoiler is fondly called. The exhaust tailpipes end symmetrically under the rear bumper. Inside, there are electrically adjustable and heated seats, air conditioning and a luggage set in matching color.

From 450 hp output

A 3.8-liter six-cylinder boxer engine with turbocharging and intercooler works under the rear lid. Two turbochargers and an electrically controlled wastegate ensure enough pressure in the combustion chambers. Singer specifies more than 450 hp as the power output, but also directly hints the prospect of several performance levels. The power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a manual six-speed gearbox. At the customer’s request, the Turbo Study is also available with all-wheel drive. A carbon ceramic brake system ensures adequate deceleration. ABS and traction control are on board just in case. As with all Singer creations, the Porsche 911 from the 964 series in the naturally aspirated version serves as the technical basis for this restomod. The Americans didn’t provide any details on the price. The first example will be on display at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in June.
