Vehicle Description
Chassis No. WP0ZZZ96ZMS400118
The Singer Dynamics and Lightweight Study (DLS) project sought to
unlock the pinnacle of performance for the 964-generation Porsche
911 by employing an uncompromising approach to lightweight
engineering. In collaboration with Williams Advanced Engineering-a
division of the Williams Grand Prix Engineering Group renowned for
its Formula One expertise in aerodynamics, materials science, and
vehicle dynamics-Singer brought this vision to life. The project
was further enriched by the consultation of Porsche engineering
legends Hans Mezger and Norbert Singer, whose deep-rooted expertise
in air-cooled engines and aerodynamics was instrumental to the
endeavor.
At the DLS's core lies a custom 4.0-liter flat-six engine,
meticulously developed by Williams Advanced Engineering with
Mezger's guidance. This naturally aspirated powerhouse produces 500
horsepower and incorporates four-valve cylinder heads, titanium
connecting rods, and a soaring 9,000 rpm redline. Advanced
engineering touches include dual oil circuits, aluminum throttle
bodies with carbon fiber intake trumpets, a CFD-optimized enlarged
cooling fan, and a carbon fiber airbox featuring an active
multi-stage resonator chamber designed to enhance mid-range torque.
A lightweight magnesium Hewland six-speed transmission efficiently
puts the power to the rear wheels.
Thanks to extensive use of carbon fiber, magnesium, and titanium,
the DLS achieves a lithe curb weight of only 990 kilograms. Brembo
supplied lightweight monobloc calipers and carbon-ceramic rotors,
while EXE-TC created bespoke damping solutions, and BBS Motorsport
provided forged 18 inch magnesium center-lock wheels. Williams
refined the car's underbody and surface aerodynamics through
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis, with input from
Norbert Singer. This optimized design subtly modernizes the iconic
911 shape, preserving its timeless aesthetic while advancing its
aerodynamic performance.
Guided by a team of expert testers, including automotive journalist
and racing driver Chris Harris alongside Marino Franchitti, the DLS
underwent meticulous development and fine-tuning to achieve
exceptional handling. Two Singer DLS models made a dramatic debut
at the 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed as the first of just 75
examples, each tailored precisely to its owner's specifications.
Offering an unparalleled fusion of craftsmanship, innovation, and
customization, the Singer DLS stands as one of the rarest and most
coveted "reimaginings" of the Porsche 911 ever conceived.
Presented here is an exceptionally low-mileage and uniquely
specified example of Singer Vehicle Design's renowned Dynamics and
Lightweight Study, known as the "Mame Commission." Originally a
1991 911 Carrera 2 Coupe, chassis number WP0ZZZ96ZMS400118 has been
"reimagined" in a bespoke Fluid Silver finish, a $42,550 option,
safeguarded by a full-body paint protection film applied by Singer
to preserve its impressive appearance. The exterior is further
distinguished by Black Titanium bead-blasted bright trim and
Black-tinted satin visible carbon fiber accents along the lower
trim and decklid inserts.
The interior of the Mame Commission exemplifies Singer's dedication
to uncompromising craftsmanship. It features "To Sample" Olive
Green suede, offset by Black-tinted satin carbon fiber elements and
Black bead-blasted bright trim. The mid-trim and lower trim are
wrapped in matching suede, completing a sophisticated monochromatic
aesthetic rarely seen in such meticulous detail. Additional
interior features include a carbon fiber X-brace finished in
Black-tinted satin, color-matched harnesses, and premium brightware
on the doors. Singer's ethos, "Everything is Important," is
engraved on the door sill plate, reinforcing the commitment to
precision, while a maple wood shift knob, Black tachometer face,
and MOMO carbon fiber steering wheel seamlessly blend vintage
inspiration with contemporary refinement. Modern conveniences such
as air conditioning and a heated front screen are seamlessly
integrated, providing both luxury and functionality.
As one of only 75 DLS commissions undertaken, chassis number
WP0ZZZ96ZLS403221 represents a rare and significant piece of modern
automotive art. The odometer shows just under 300 miles at the time
of cataloging, indicating this DLS has been preserved in like-new
condition since its completion. Furthermore, in August 2024, this
exceptional Singer DLS was the subject of a "Year 1 Service" that
included an inspection, engine oil change, transmission fluid
change, and a diagnostic review. The "Mame Commission" quite
literally embodies Singer's philosophy that "Everything is
Important," and offers a rare opportunity to acquire one of the
most exclusive and meticulously crafted Porsche 911 reimaginations
ever produced from the very group that invented the genre.
