Have you met the 911 built by Singer Vehicle Design ?
It's like pro-touring but on a Porsche !!!
These cars are like our Pro-Touring cars, they have all the old fashioned feeling-look with the most modern performances available....
The Singer 911 is a re-interpretation and rebirth of the early performance-focused 911’s. The new vehicle is the result of a fusion between the purity of the original 911 and modern materials, design, and updated technologies, and aftermarket experience into a unique sports car that recaptures the essence of the early 911’s golden age. The Singer 911 capitalizes on the 40 years of solutions and enhancements that have resulted from the racing aftermarket’s embracing the original 911. Borrowing the best elements from the air/oil cooled 911’s long production span such as the “chic” of the long hood pre-’74 race specials, and the engineering durability of the later cars from the 80’s and 90’s, Singer Vehicle Design capitalizes on the vast know how and evolutionary advances the original 911 has enjoyed. The experience offered by the new Singer 911 is a passionate celebration of the history making, iconic 911, and creates an enhanced sportscar that honors the original 911’s soul.
Singer starts with any longer wheelbase 911 (from 1969 to 1989), strips it down to it’s shell and starts the reinvention process. The only elements retained during this process are the original wheelbase, the A-pillar position, the roofline, suspension mounting and transaxle mounting points. Everything else is fully restored or improved upon. Here are the high points of what you end up with:
- 3.8-liter normally aspirated flat 6 (993 based engine)
- 425 bhp with 340 lb. ft. torque
- 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds; 0-100 mph in 8.5 seconds
- Top speed of 170+ mph
- 917/930 Porsche Brembo calipers and rotors with stainless steel braided lines behind 19" Fuschs replicas...
- Extensive body work with lower lip spoiler in front and active speed-sensitive rear spoiler
- Integral backbone stiffening structure with developmental carbon fiber “second skin” concealed roll structure
You also get some great creature comforts like a lightweight electric a/c system, updated sound package including Sirius satellite radio, Garmin GPS and Bluetooth and iPod connectivity. The interior is a great modern take on a retro look. Weight, with all of this, is 2,400 pounds.
Singer has stitched in Brembo stoppers on all four corners along with Bilstein coilovers to put all that power to the pavement, and the interior is laced with the kind of kit that you’d expect from a vehicle with a price tag that knocks on the door of $200,000. Look around the cabin and you’ll see a Heuer chronograph, leather weave seats and an RSR steering wheel, among other goodies.
