Singer Vehicle Design, located in Torrance, California, started
from humble beginnings with its first restoration presented at
Monterey, California's annual Car Week, where the first restored
964-based Singer rocked the automotive community. The 911-based
"Recommission" quickly sparked a frenzy of orders that spanned over
the course of 13 years, with lead times often in the multiple of
years to get a customized example. Later the Design Lightweight
Study (DLS) was introduced, increasing the use of carbon fiber,
magnesium, and titanium, along with an 500hp naturally-aspirated
engine developed with Williams Advanced Engineering. Then, in 2022,
Singer revealed a widely anticipated variant to the world, finally
bringing turbocharging to their series of recommissions: The Singer
Classic Turbo.
This Singer Turbo Classic recommission was specified in the
Paint-to-Sample "Black Eye Darker", a deep purple metallic color
over its carbon fiber body panels, with a Bone leather interior.
Spec'd in the Touring trim, this Singer's engine was uprated to the
Sport's 503hp 3.8L twin-turbo flat six engine, and the Touring
interior which includes the Singer heritage seats that pay homage
to the original Porsche 930 Turbo. A 6-speed manual transmission
routes power to only the rear wheels.
This Singer Classic Turbo vehicle is in new condition, with only
443 miles added on the odometer since completion with a majority of
those miles accumulated during Singer's QA process.
This Singer Classic Turbo is a testament to Singer's driven focus
on making some of the most intriguing and tasteful recommissions of
Porsche vehicles. With beautiful elegant designs that not only pay
homage to the original historic cars but also drawn from Singer's
own design language, this 3.8L twin-turbo flat six Singer Classic
Turbo - Touring is ready to be enjoyed to the fullest.
About the Singer Classic Turbo
With the reveal of Singer's Classic Turbo, a new era of
recommissions was about to begin. With customers stating that they
wanted more power, but also a new style of body, it was clear to
Singer that a homage to the 930, with its wide rear fenders and
turbocharged air-cooled engine, was the answer. The same Singer
"Everything Is Important" mantra is still present throughout the
vehicle, but this new generation was redesigned from the ground up.
Singer wanted to take the Turbo Classic to the next level, both
from a design perspective but also reliability. They required a
bespoke Bosch traction management system that required Singer to
send an entire vehicle to be tested in wet, dry, snow, and other
traction conditions. Singer wanted to be approved by T�V, where a
car was sent to Germany to be driven approximately 3,000 kilometers
to pass the certification that it was safe for German (and later,
European) roads. All in the quest of improving their
commissions.
The Turbo Classic's body panels are made from lightweight carbon
fiber, including the wide rear wheel arches that famously displayed
the "shark fin", now cleverly disguised as air intakes for the
newly-developed engine. Singer's new 3.8L twin-turbocharged engine
with air-to-water intercooling, now creating 450 horsepower and 400
lb-ft of torque. Utilizing Porsche 992 turbochargers with updated
technology including variable veins, this allowed for Singer to
tune the vehicle to drive exceptionally well with plenty of power,
but was sure to include some of the nostalgic "turbo lag" that was
so indicative of the original 930. Paired with a 6-speed manual
transmission, the Turbo Classic could be specified in either
Touring or Sport configurations which brought different options for
each. The Touring specification included a more compliant ride
better suited for longer drives, along with seats that clearly show
the 930's heritage in a more modern design. The Sport gained an
extra 53 horsepower, along with lightweight carbon fiber seats,
carbon ceramic brakes, lightweight door trim, sports-calibrated
suspension, and more. Fit and finishes are exactly what you would
expect, from jewel-like instruments to ergonomically thought-out
interior functions and elegant touch points, to the tasteful
exterior updates and integrations that a keen eye will catch and
appreciate the callbacks to the original Porsche Turbo.
The current Singer waitlist is approximately 4 to 5 years for a new
commission. This Classic Turbo represents a rare opportunity to
take delivery without waiting.
