Porsche 911 Carrera Super Sport modified by Singer

American company Singer, which specializes in restoring and modifying Porsche 911s, has unveiled its latest project inspired by the Porsche 911 Carrera Super Sport from the 1980s.

Singer took a Porsche 964 as a basis and fitted it with carbon body panels, reinforced the chassis, in the creation of which the F1 team Red Bull Racing participated, added additional lights on the front hood. It is mounted on 18-inch wheels with a central mounting nut, behind which are hidden carbon-ceramic brakes and adaptive shock absorbers.

The interior is also done in a modern style with carbon bucket seats upholstered in leather and fabric, a protective cage, a specially designed center console, and a multitude of details that give the car a sporty spirit.

The car is powered by a 4-liter 6-cylinder naturally aspirated boxer engine developed in cooperation with the British company Cosworth, which delivers 420 hp. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission with a limited-slip differential.

Singer will produce just 100 units of the car, and buyers will be able to choose the body color and materials used in the cabin. The price of the car is not known.

In July 2022, Porsche unveiled a new racing car that the Porsche Penske Motorsport team (Hertz Team JOTA) will use in the Hypercar class in the WEC (World Endurance Championship) starting on March 17. The Porsche 963 LMDh is ready for the race and the external appearance was done in cooperation with the American company Singer.

The car is finished in gold and has a large rear wing with LED lights on the sides, an LED light bar, large wheel arches and Michelin Pilot Sport tires. The drivers will be Yifei Ye, Antonio Felix da Costa and Will Stevens, and among the sponsors who supported the British team is the American company Singer, which is considered the first name in the world of Porsche 911-themed restomod projects.

Hertz Team JOTA, led by David Clark and Sam Hignett, is happy to be among the participants of the legendary French Le Mans 24 Hours race, which is celebrating its 100th birthday this season. It is certain that the past successes in the 24 Hour Le Mans, which Team JOTA achieved in the lower categories, promise success.

The first Singer Porsche 911 Turbo Study Cabriolet

Singer Group is known for restoring the 911 models to their original state, using the best parts in multigenerational evolution, to create the perfect car. Until now, all cars were with a hard top. However, that changed as Singer recently unveiled its first 911 Cabriolet as part of its Turbo Study.

“Our goal with the Turbo Study is to distill the awesome thrill of Porsche’s first ‘supercar’ while reimagining its performance and refinement. We’re excited that owners can now choose to enjoy these traits with the roof down,” said the company’s founder and CEO, Rob Dickinson.

The company is focused on making unique examples in cooperation with their owners. This time it’s a Porsche 911 (930), and the inspiration was the first Porsche Sport 356/1, which was also a convertible. “I’ve long wanted to celebrate that part of Porsche heritage at Singer and doing so as part of our recently announced Turbo Study seems a perfect place to start,” said Dickinson.

The carbon body is painted in Cadiz Red, and the car is equipped with improved suspension and carbon-ceramic brakes. Inside, there are sports electrically adjustable carbon seats with fabric. The fabric can also be seen on the door panels. In front of the passenger on the dashboard is a “Singer” inscription.

Under the hood is the engine from his first reimagined 911 Turbo Study. It is an air-cooled 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine with 510 hp (375 kW), which is 60 hp (44 kW) more than the first delivered Singer 911 Turbo in the Touring edition. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. Also on offer will be an engine with 450 hp (330 kW), and AWD as an option.
