Driving Singer’s New Turbocharged Porsche 911 Restomod

Singer’s latest creation celebrates the iconic Porsche 911 by turbocharging it and basing it on the 930 Turbo from the mid-1970s, using a 964 chassis. It boasts 450 to 510 brake horsepower, depending on the specs. Options include a super lightweight model at 1,220 kg or a more luxurious version. All models are rear-wheel drive with a six-speed manual gearbox, emphasizing driver engagement.

The body is entirely carbon fiber except for the steel doors, retaining a classic clunk. The design features subtle, sophisticated changes like a smoother, aerodynamic front bumper and classic Fuchs wheels. Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes ensure instant, powerful stopping.

Power comes from a 3.8L flat-six engine with BorgWarner turbos from the 992 model. Inside, it features a driver-focused layout, less carpeting, a semi-roll cage, and carbon bucket seats. Modern amenities include air conditioning, a MagSafe phone charger, and a simple infotainment system. Bosch-developed ABS and traction control enhance safety without complicating the driving experience.
