Singer Reveals Its Next Generation of Porsche 911 Services in the "Turbo Study"
Singer’s first road-going, turbocharged Porsche 911.
The next chapter of Singer has just been announced. Listening to its clientele of air-cooled 911 owners, Singer will now be extending its restoration services to incorporate turbocharging.
“My first ever ride in a Porsche 911 as an 11-year-old in 1976 left me dry-mouthed and speechless – it was a black 930 Turbo with red tartan seats. Forty-five years on from that life-changing moment I’m excited to present the results of our study that aims to capture the awesome thrill of Porsche’s first ‘supercar’ while reimagining its performance and refinement and collaborating with owners to take both to new heights. I believe it’s a fitting tribute to a car that changed my life and many others,” said Rob Dickinson, Founder and Executive Chairman, of Singer Group Inc.
Starting off as a Type 964, air-cooled 911, Singer adds a list of upgrades which includes a reimaged whale-tail spoiler and shark fin, a bespoke Turbo carbon fiber body in Wolf Blue, touring-focused suspension, and a Malibu Sand interior with Black Forest wood accents. Performance-wise, the sportscar packs a 3.8L twin-turbo intercooled flat-six with an electric wastegate. While the power can be tailored to the customer’s requirements, this comes standard with 450 horsepower and is fitted with a 6-speed RWD drivetrain.
Those looking to see the Turbo Study in person can find it on display at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the U.K. from June 23 – 26.
