Porsche 911 Big Sur

California-based Singer has so far offered wealthy customers around the world restored and modified Porsche models. Now, on social media, the company has presented the look of its latest creation 911 Big Sur.

Under the hood is a 4.0-liter engine with 390 hp (287 kW) and 315 lb-ft (427 Nm) of torque. It is a modified version of the 3.8-liter Cosworth engine. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission manufactured by Getrag Together. It reaches 62 mph in just 3.5 seconds.

The car is painted in Horizon blue, and every part of it is elegant and refined just as you might expect from a famous tuner. The blue color spills over into the interior as well, especially on the central ridge and sills.

The Porsche 911 Big Sur was made for a private customer who ordered electronically adjustable sports front seats upholstered in brown leather and fabric, while the back of the backrest is black. Brown leather covers the rear seats as well as the door panels.

With the design of this model, Singer paid tribute to Gulf Oil, Porsche’s sponsor from the 50’s and 60’s, which is especially known for the Porsche 917k model.

The car is mounted on 21 and 22-inch wheels, and Brabus offers a choice of carbon components with a matte finish or high gloss.

In order to withstand the increase in power, the cars have also undergone certain visual improvements.
