Singer’s newest creation harbors a few firsts for the company. Simply called the Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe Reimagined by Singer, it packs a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine that benefits from what the company has learned from its DLS and DLS Turbo programs. Singer jointly developed the engine with Cosworth and tapped the experts at Red Bull Advanced Technologies to strengthen the chassis for a completely reimagined 911 Type 964.
The 4.0-liter engine makes 420 horsepower and can rev to over 8,000 rpm. It’s Singer’s first naturally aspirated engine to use water-cooled cylinder heads and air-cooled cylinders. It’s also the first to feature variable valve timing.

Naturally, a six-speed manual sends the power to the rear wheels. The 18-inch center-lock wheels hide the carbon ceramic brakes, and Singer fits new carbon-fiber bodywork that gives the 911 a stance inspired by the wide-body 911 Carrera with Super Sport Equipment variants of the 1980s. Customers can buy both sets of body work to swap as desired, and best of all, it has pop-up lights on the hood inboard of the actual headlights.
Singer will limit its latest 911 to just 100 commissions. In typical Singer fashion, the company offers a range of personalization options, including bespoke paint, leather, and materials. Customers can pick between lightweight sport seats or track ones, while drivers can look at a reimagined instrument cluster with hand-built gauges.

Singer worked with Bosch to develop the car’s traction control system, anti-lock brakes, and electronic stability control. It also has four-way adjustable dampers with electronic damping control, and a noise lift system. So it should drive way better than the 911 it’s based on.
The Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe Reimagined by Singer represents the company’s latest restoration services. It’s the fifth since Singer’s founding in 2009, when it presented its first Porsche at Monterey Car Week.
