Singer's 911 Carrera Coupé readies for US showcase
The new Porsche 911 Carrera Coupé Reimagined by Singer will be on show at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, in Monterey, California, on August 15. 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. Image: Supplied 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.

Porsche 911 Carrera Coupé Reimagined by Singer sizzles at Goodwood Festival of Speed
The performance of the engine is enhanced with a sophisticated approach to suspension, brakes, wheels and tyres, enabling drivers to cover ground rapidly and with confidence. Suspension developed for Singer's turbocharged models provides the foundation for compliant and sporting handling, while four-way adjustable dampers with electronic damping control can be adjusted from the driver's seat and incorporate a nose lift system. Carbon ceramic brakes are available as an option and sit behind a set of 18-inch, Fuchs-style centre-lock wheels. The latter are shod with the latest breed of Michelin Pilot Sport tyres for maximum mechanical grip. Like the exterior, the interior of the Porsche 911 Carrera Coupé Reimagined by Singer is a work of art and offers customers an almost endless scope of personalisation through bespoke paint, leather and material finishes. Hand-built instrument gauges and Sports seats with corduroy centres are fitted as standard. Lightweight track seats are available as an option as is a raised gear shifter mechanism. For comfort and convenience, Singer has fitted air-conditioning, satellite navigation and Apple CarPlay connectivity. How much? Though pricing depends on the specification requested by each car's owner, it's safe to assume they will start in the region of $500,000 (R8.9m).
