Really gorgeous ! I wonder what the material of the engine bay is. Light brown color is intriguing.
Looks like it's leather. Singer tends to line their bays with leather.

Regarding the engines, I understand that the DLS' engines are fettered by Cosworth and the other 4.0's are assembled by Ed Pink Racing, if my memory serves, and we often know it doesn't. ;) But I wonder who's doing these "Mezger" turbos. Are they sourced from the 964 that customers supply?

EDIT: from Singer's website, under "ENGINES"
Our engines are completely disassembled then meticulously blueprinted, balanced and hand-built using new or state of the art components. Customers are offered a choice of three engines, each with a unique output and character, designed to match the dynamics of their car.
• 3.8-liter, 300 horsepower
• The 300BHP 3.8L engine is comprehensively rebuilt and blueprinted for maximum efficiency. It retains the standard Bosch Motronic engine management system, exhaust, and ancillaries, therefore retains the engine’s original emission calibration.
• 3.8-liter, 350 horsepower, with Individual Throttle-bodies [* intended for off-road use only in certain territories] • Our 350BHP 3.8L normally aspirated, Porsche flat-six engine was developed in partnership with race-engine manufacturer Cosworth. It is hand-built in California by Ed Pink Racing Engines to exact tolerances, and benefits from state-of-the-art breakthroughs in intake design, cylinder head, piston, cylinder, and rod design, plus fuel injection and engine management advances. We feel it to be a wonderful compromise between a high-revving, high horsepower Porsche racing engine and a torque rich, tractable, durable engine for the road. An optional nickel-plated Air intake plenum is available for the 3.8L.
• 4.0-liter, 390 horsepower [* intended for off-road use only in certain territories] • Our 390BHP 4.0-liter engine grew from the DNA of our 3.8L Cosworth engine and has been meticulously developed by the engineers at Ed Pink Racing Engines to create our ultimate incarnation of the normally aspirated flat-six. With a 7,200 RPM redline this engine is a monster in the best sense of the word and imbued with heroic levels of torque – around 315lb/ft – and thrilling peak power output tantalizing close to 400hp. As with all our engines it retains the case of the 964 and employs a bespoke crankshaft, oil pump, pistons, cylinders, connecting rods, cams, cylinder heads, throttle bodies and intake system. Performance is extreme with 60mph and 100mph arriving in sub 3.3 seconds and 8.2 seconds, respectively.
• Note: Both 3.8 and 4.0-liter engines are available with Smog-compliant camshafts and fuel-injection programming. Please enquire with Singer if your region has stringent emissions regulations.

The engines in the DLS are 4.0 500hp, developed with Williams and Mezger. Not sure who builds them.

I did a brief check^ couldn't see this an addition. Even if it was, so what? An opportunity to watch these machines again!
