Singer's 911 Carrera Coupé readies for US showcase
First seen at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, this restomod is based on a fully restored 964 chassis strengthened with composite and steel reinforcement by Red Bull Advanced Technologies to improve handling, braking and refinement.
Singer's carbon fibre bodywork pays tribute to the wide-body, Turbo-look 911 3.2 Carrera of the 1980s. A deep front spoiler, rear fender intakes and a choice of fixed 'whale tail' or speed-activated rear wing enhance cooling and stability. Optional pop-up auxiliary driving lights fold flush into the bonnet.
Power comes from a Cosworth-developed, naturally aspirated 4.0 l air-cooled flat-six with four valves per cylinder, water-cooled heads, variable valve timing, an electric fan and titanium exhaust. Producing 313kW and revving past 8,000rpm, it's paired with a six-speed manual gearbox driving the rear wheels. Five drive modes adjust traction and stability control settings.

Suspension from Singer's turbocharged models, four-way adjustable dampers with electronic control and an integrated nose-lift system ensure compliant, sporty handling. Optional carbon-ceramic brakes hide behind 18" Fuchs-style centre-lock wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport tyres.
Inside, customers can choose from an extensive palette of paints, leathers and materials. Hand-built gauges and corduroy-trimmed sport seats are standard, with track seats and a raised gear shifter optional. Modern comforts include air-conditioning, satnav and Apple CarPlay.

Defender D7X-R: Land Rover's continuous innovations ahead of the 2026 Dakar Rally
The Defender D7X-R made its public debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, showcasing the competition version that will tackle the 2026 Dakar Rally. Showcased at the recent Goodwood Festival of Speed, it was the public's first glimpse of the competition version of the Defender 110 that will be competing in the newly updated 'Stock' category for production-based vehicles. The Defender D7X-R Dakar programme is going full steam ahead as they prepare for the 2026 Dakar Rally and World Rally-Raid Championship (W2RC). New regulations The 2026 edition of the W2RC will implement new regulations that are aimed at making the Stock category significantly more competitive overall, as the FIA and Dakar organisers respond to the increasing capacity and popularity of high-performance 4x4s and SUVs. The new regulations will allow increased performance benefits, allowing Defender to showcase its durability and capability through the harshest terrains. The Defender Dakar D7X-R shares the same D7X aluminium body architecture, transmission and driveline layout as production Defenders and is powered by a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 engine. Drivers debut Also making their debut at the famous festival were four-time Dakar stage winner Sara Price and the legendary Stéphane Peterhansel, who has won the Dakar Rally 14 times. Both Price and Peterhansel were recently announced as official drivers for Defender, along with Rokas Baciuška. 'I loved being at Goodwood. I drove on the famous hillclimb four times, which was so awesome. And I also drove in the Off-Road Arena, which was super fun. The car felt really good. "We were showing off our prototype car at Goodwood, but it's about to get even more real as our competition Defender will be finished soon and the real testing will begin,' said Price. Peterhansel concurred, saying, 'I'm looking forward to the next few months of preparations ahead of our entry to Dakar. To go back to the roots with a production car, and with Defender, I'm really proud to be part of it. "We will try to write a new chapter of history with Defender at Dakar. It's going to be an adventure and an opportunity to show what a production car can do."
