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.

The Singer Porsche 911 story has come to an end

Since 2010, the California-based company, Singer Vehicle Design, has so far offered wealthy customers around the world restored and modified Porsche models. Now after more than a decade the story has come to an end. Singer Vehicle Design has officially announced that it is no longer accepting orders for restomod Porsche 911 (964).

In its 12 years of operation, Singer has successfully realized 450 projects based on the 911 (964) model. Singer CEO Rob Dickinson has stated that Singer Vehicle Design will no longer offer restomod 911s from the 964 Series, despite the fact that there are still many of these cars on the market that would make an excellent basis for Singer’s method of restoration/modification. Dickinson also said that 12 years ago, no one at Singer thought they would end up selling 450 examples of a car that costs around $1 million.

The Porsche 911 restomod is powered by a 4.0-liter flat-six engine with 390 hp (287 kW) and 315 lb-ft (427 Nm) of torque. That’s enough power to push the car to 62 mph in just over 3 seconds. The engine is paired with a five-speed or six-speed manual transmission.

The company said that they are preparing for a new chapter, the Turbo Study, which was recently announced by the 911 model, whose appearance is clearly reminiscent of the first Porsche 911 Turbo that was presented in 1975.

Porsche 911 Turbo Study with 510 hp

Earlier this year, the American company Singer, introduced its first turbocharged Porsche 911 Turbo Study. The inspiration for this model was the legendary 930 Turbo with a turbocharger. Now, it’s time for another model inspired by the Porsche 930 Turbo from the G Series.

The Porsche 911 Turbo Study will be powered by 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 will be transmitted to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission.

Each car will be made according to the wishes and needs of the future owner. So, compared to the first customer whose focus was on driving comfort, the second customer of the 911 Turbo Study insisted on car performance. Therefore, Singer equipped his car with additional modified suspension, so the car is now even closer to the ground. There are also highly profiled seats and carbon-ceramic brakes hidden behind green Fuchs rims.

The car is painted in Turbo Racing White with two wide green stripes that extend from the hood over the roof to the rear of the car. Inside, the carbon seats are also covered with a green pattern that can be seen on the door panels. In front of the passenger on the dashboard is a “Singer” inscription.

So far, 70 orders have been received. Also, Singer did not say how much this model will cost, but some rumors say it could reach a million dollars. Is that too much?
