The name Singer has caused the same parts of the same parts for years. Enthusiasts were blinded by design, craftsmanship and awe in front of Porsche’s stale Porsche heritage. But for those of us who stood on the outside, read specifications and increase the jaw prices into the stratosphere, there were always these persistent doubts: is it really worth it?
After the Porsche 911 Carrera Coupé was immersed in the latest creation of the singer, it is clear that the praise is well deserved. We spoke to owners who consulted trustworthy automotive journalists and subordinate to what flows into one of these builds. And frankly we get it now. The experience of experience that Singer offers goes far beyond only nostalgia. It is a reinterpretation of perfection.
The latest chapter of the singer pays homage to a hidden jewel in Porsche’s line, The Widebody, naturally sucked in G-Series 911s from the 1980s. Known as a Super Sport Equipment Package, it was a strange anomaly – the muscular appearance of a 930 turbo without thrust. Singer picks up this idea and builds a new dream around it, which is developed by a state-of-the-art 4.0-liter nature-sech-six-six-six-six-six-six-Six-Six with Cosworth and bursting with 420 hp. It turns to over 8000 rpm, breathes a titanium exhaust and uses an innovative combination of air -cooled cylinders and water -cooled heads. This is the engine root that is worthy of Mezger’s heir.
The soul of Type 964 lives on below, but this is not an easy Restomod. Red Bull Advanced Technologies, yes, the Red Bull, provided input to strengthen the chassis. Carbon fiber body reduces the weight and improves stiffness. The suspension is on the race stage with four-more adjustable dawn with electronic control, a nostril and carbon ceramic brakes when they are inclined. And everything is wrapped around a six-speed manual transmission and a rear drive, as the gods were intended.
One of the most amazing things on singers is the depth of personalization. Everything from color to the upholstery – velvet cord seat in Mars Pink, someone? -Is tailor -made. And if you cannot choose between the classic whale tail or a splinter and wing inspired by motorsport, you can have both. Literally. Singer will offer interchangeable bodies in customer -specific flight covers.
In contrast, the two configurations shown with this publication are a study: a slim touring specification in “Celeste Passalacqua”, the other a hardcore sports setup in “Giallo Segnale” with rally lights and a firm wing. Both sit on white 18-inch and lock wheels. Both are unique expressions of their owner’s point of view, which are irritated to the last stitch of hand -controlled leather.
But beyond the hardware and inheritance, what finally devoted to us over the edge was the testimony of owners and journalists alike. The way you talk about these cars goes beyond the metrics. It’s about emotional connection. Each singer is a love letter to the analog driving experience. You are not only beautiful. You feel right. This is difficult to quantify, but impossible to ignore.
So yes, we will eat a little crow. We once asked if the singer’s reputation was inflated by hype and exclusivity. Now we see the light. And although we have not yet driven one, we hope that one day we can achieve the gears of a singer master’s work and the experience of this relentless strut to excellence.
Until then, we always admire from afar. Because if it was ever a car that was worth the obsession, the Carrera coupé newly invented by singer is.
