1990 Porsche 911 Targa “Sotto” is Singer’s 300th car

February 16, 2024 Francis Mitterrand

Singer Vehicle Design has been restoring and modifying Porsche cars since 2009, and is one of the best in the field. After many restored cars, the honor of being the 300th went to the 1990 Porsche 911 Targa Sotto.

The company is focused on making unique examples in cooperation with their owner, and this car is exactly that. Resistance Blue carbon fiber body, easily removable dark roof panel, and light strips with “Porsche” lettering on the lower part of the door, are just some of the features of this car from the 964 Series that was produced between 1989 and 1994.

Inside, the buyer opted for orange leather that covers the comfortable sports seats, door panels and the lower part of the dash, mated with black floor mats. There is also a three-spoke steering wheel wrapped in black leather.

Under the hood is a naturally-aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine with 390 hp (291 kW) at 9,000 rpm, mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. The car is equipped with a titanium sports exhaust and massive carbon-ceramic brakes hidden behind five-spoke Fuchs-style rims.

Singer has his hands full. Last year, they opened a new workshop in order to speed up the process of an increasingly large number of interested customers. The fact that those who want a classic sports car, restored and modified with modern technology, and assembled according to the highest quality standards, have to wait four years tells how many are interested.

In it’s workshop, Singer performs all operations, from painting and installation of spare and new parts to assembly and finishing works. Singer director Mazen Fawaz claims that the company can meet all customer requirements and increase the car’s value to seven figures except in situations of severe damage.

Singer Vehicle Design opened a new workshop

March 6, 2023 Francis Mitterrand

In 2009, British musician Rob Dickinson founded the company Singer Vehicle Design which restores and modifies Porsche automobiles. Since then, they have done numerous restorations and modifications of Porsche 964 cars, and now they have opened the doors of their workshop to Top Gear.

Those who want a classic sports car, restored and modified with modern technology, and assembled according to the highest quality standards, unfortunately have to be patient and wait because the waiting list is sometimes four years long.

Since Singer Vehicle Design was founded, demand has grown rapidly to the point where the company has decided to stop accepting new orders for its Classic model. The company decided to do this because it wants to preserve its value in the future. However, the Turbo model is offered, but about 200 people are already waiting for it.

In its plant, Singer performs all operations, from painting and installation of spare and new parts to assembly and finishing works. Singer director Mazen Fawaz claims that the company can meet all customer requirements and increase the car’s value to seven figures except in situations of severe damage.

We’ve already seen some of their work before, and we can say with certainty that they are a piece of art. Here are some of the cars that the company: Porsche 911 Turbo Study, Porsche 930 Turbo, 1989 Porsche 911, Porsche 911 (964), 911 Cabriolet.
