You probably need no reminding of the Singer Turbo Study, its homage to the 930 Turbo of 1975. The tunerโs first forced induction build also reflected a new approach by Singer Vehicle Design, one that attempted to create something a little more everyday usable, with options like all-wheel drive, heated seats and cruise control. Back in February, we were promised by Singer Vehicle Design a global debut at Goodwood - hereโs the Turbo Study in all its glory.
This is the Wolf Blue car shown a few months back, now here for real and with a few more details announced. The 3.8-litre, twin-turbo Mezger flat-six is producing 510hp for this commission, and itโs been specified with rear-wheel drive and โtouring-optimised suspensionโ. The buyer of this Turbo has also opted for ceramic brakes to reflect their desire for a car of โhigh performance, luxury grand touring capabilitiesโ.
Singerโs Festival of Speed presence also includes the Sebring Commission, a stunning Dynamics and Lightweighting Study build (the Williams flat six, more than 9,000rpm, magnesium wheels, bespoke suspension) in a 718 RS 60 Spyder paint scheme. That means RS60 Silver for the outside and a Candy Apple interior. Itโs going up the hill with Dario Franchittiโs Indy Commission, in Dixon Bronze with brass accents.
Itโs the Turbo thatโll be centre of attention, though, whale tail spoiler and stunning interior seeing to that. Itโs going to be in front of the Stable Yard all weekend. Singerโs Rob Dickinson said: โSinger is a philosophy and each of these three cars encapsulates our unique perspective, the personal vision of the owner, and a celebration of heritage - reimagined with twenty-first century engineering. Together they represent part of our ongoing obsession with a definitive collection of iconic design. Thereโs no better place to show the results of our endeavours than the Festival of Speed, in our seventh year at this spectacular event.โ
Now, those cars - the Turbo, DLS, and Franchittiโs Classic - are of course spoken for, and we know that a Singer build is not the work of a moment. But with some searching in the PH classifieds, youโll find a Porsche 911 reimagined by Singer that could be bought this weekendโฆ
