Porsche 911 reimagined by Singer
Dynamics & Lightweighting Study - Turbo
Singer’s latest restoration services offered to owners of the Type 964 air-cooled 911.
Turbocharging integrated with the results of the Dynamics & Lightweighting Study (DLS)
Personalized at the request of Singer’s clients for road or track-focused driving.
Celebrating the victorious 934/5 endurance racers of the late 1970s.
Track-focused owner:
The car in Blood Orange has been specified by its owner to emphasize track performance, featuring a high-downforce rear wing with adjustable upper element and a track-oriented front fascia with larger splitter.
Road-focused owner:
The car in Moet Blanc has been specified by its owner to be road-focused, including an aero-optimized rear ducktail spoiler and road-oriented front fascia which enabling lower drag characteristics.
Engine:
3.8L, 4-valves per cylinder flat-six with twin turbochargers, electric wastegates, air-to-water intercooling and a horizontally mounted, electrically powered fan. This evolution of the engine developed for DLS restorations enables 700 HP and 9000 rpm.

Singer Reveals TWO New Porsche 911 Creations Inspired By Porsche 934/5!
It revs out to over 9,000 rpm and looks absolutely mega.
This fresh take on the Porsche 911 is inspired by the turbocharged 911 of the mid-1970s, which eventually morphed into the Type 934/5 race car in 1977 and promptly dominated the SCCA Trans American series by winning six of eight races and thus the championship, leaving an indelible mark on the memory of Singer's founder. To create a suitable homage to the iconic racer, Singer has taken the lessons learned from the Turbo Study revealed last year and combined them with those of the Dynamics & Lightweighting Study.
The result? Over 700 horsepower, a redline over 9,000 rpm, and some of the wildest bodywork we've seen in, well, ever. Delicious.
The process of constructing the Dynamics & Lightweighting Study - Turbo (hereafter referred to as the DLS Turbo) begins like any other 911 restoration. The car is carefully disassembled and the interior removed. The bare chassis is then assessed, cleaned, and reinforced. The modified body that will rest atop the chassis is reproduced in carbon fiber, and customers customize just about everything you can see, which in this case includes the choice of a track-focused DLS Turbo (orange) or a road-biased one (champagne).
The big difference between the two variants is that the track-focused one gets a high-downforce rear wing with an adjustable upper cross-member and a unique front end with a larger splitter. The road car gets a ducktail rear spoiler and low-drag front fascia, but owners can spec their cars to accept either setup.
Either way, the 911 gains a central front intake paired with a hood vent for improved cooling, while NACA ducts and intakes in the rear fenders fulfill the same purpose for the brakes and turbochargers.
Under the rear engine cover resides a 3.8-liter, four-valve twin-turbocharged flat-six with electric wastegates and air-to-water intercooling. It's an evolution of the 3.6-liter motor used in the DLS, but there, it's forced induction-free and generates 500 ponies. In the Turbo Study, where it had already swelled to 3.8 liters, it produced up to 510 hp. Here, it makes "over 700 hp at more than 9,000 rpm."
As usual, a six-speed manual sends power to the rear axle. Track-oriented suspension with bespoke dampers keep the car flat, and carbon-ceramic brakes promise security. These hide behind 19-inch wheels up front and 20-inch wheels at the back, wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 or Cup 2 R rubber, both with centerlock fasteners and made of forged magnesium. Widened and vented arches and an exhaust with one exit per rear fender add just enough drama without being gimmicky.
As always, colors and finishes are up to the customer. Pricing is not mentioned, but with the breadth of options on offer, the only limit is your budget.
"I was 12 when my father's friend showed us his Super 8 film of the 1977 Watkins Glen 6 Hours," recalls Rob Dickinson, founder of the Singer Group. "As the familiar face of a Porsche 911 morphed into impossibly boxed hips, gaping intakes, and giant double-planed rear wing, I can still remember the shock and the realization that this was the other life of the 911 - the racing car. Since Singer began, I've wanted to return to that moment, collaborate with our clients and celebrate that car - the 934/5."
We think the end product looks splendid, even if only rendered digitally at this point. We hope to cast our gaze on one or both of these Dynamics & Lightweighting - Turbo restorations at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, where the outfit generally makes a big splash. This year's festival takes place from 13-16 July, but if you miss it, Singer will be at Monterey Car Week in August.

It'll be picture based commentary but still it's analysis to go with them and the texts provided!

Singer did wonderful things with their 911 Reimagined and DLS offerings. These things, on the other hand, as technically impressive as they may be, are Frankensteinian. I see the vision as to what they pay homage to but the actual execution is flamboyancy bordering on the grotesque.

These are beyond insane, I love it, here's hoping they give them a bit more juice than the DLS 510hp engine.
It's no more ridiculous or grotesque than the 935 homage Porsche built a few years ago. if anything this is a more relevant homage.
