Iconic Porsche from the 90s complete with 4 Litre engine and titanium exhaust could be yours for eye-watering price
The vehicle's paintwork alone costs nearly £9000 RIDE ON Iconic Porsche from the 90s complete with 4 Litre engine and titanium exhaust could be yours for eye-watering price AN ICONIC Porsche from the 1990s could be yours for an eye-watering price. On sale for a cool £1 million, the luxury car is one of the very last of its kind to be produced. 6 This Porsche is on sale for £1 million Credit: mediadrumimages 6 The interior references a 18th Century Scottish legion Credit: mediadrumimages 6 The car's badge is finished with 24 carat gold Credit: mediadrumimages This glamorous Porsche 911 was reimagined by Singer, a design company which specialises in modifying that exact model of car. As Singer's Classic Study programme has ceased orders, this is a rare - and possibly final - opportunity to own a classic 911 fresh from Singer's Los Angeles facility. The vehicle, known as the Black Watch Commission, is one of the last to be reimagined by Singer and is painted in a beautiful Oak Green - a Porsche colour which is valued at £8,875. The nickel-coated Fuchs-style wheels and the car's Black Watch tartan upholstery truly make the car feel like one of a kind. The tartan is a reference to an 18th century Scottish regiment and is a reference to the 1970s 930 Turbos. Rich leather and blue accented stitching give the car's interior an added feeling of luxury. With Apple CarPlay and the Porsche Classic Navigation System, it has a vintage look and a modern appeal - with all of those elegant touches being topped off with a 4.0 badge finished with 24-carat gold. At its heart is the revered 4.0-litre air-cooled flat-six engine, paired with a five-speed manual gearbox, titanium exhaust system, Ohlins adjustable suspension, carbon ceramic brakes, and a lightweight carbon fibre roof. However, all of those glamorous features mean that the car costs an eye-watering £1 million. The Porsche is on sale with RM Sotheby's as part of their Sealed Drop taking place 26th-29th May 2025. Remastered Porsche so rare only 25 were ever made could be yours for eye-popping £850K – with 4L engine & 435 horsepower Having only accrued delivery mileage since it rolled out of Singer's California headquarters, the Black Watch Commission is being offered directly by its commissioning owner in near-factory-fresh condition. The car's listing reads: ''The Black Watch Commission,' finished in Oak Green Metallic with an Espresso and 'Black Watch' tartan interior. '4.0-litre engine with titanium exhaust, Öhlins adjustable suspension, carbon fibre roof, and Brembo carbon ceramic brakes. 'Completed by Singer in January 2025. 6 The interior is fitted with a rich leather Credit: mediadrumimages 6 The car is in 'virtually as-new condition' Credit: mediadrumimages 'Offered from the commissioning owner; delivery mileage since completion. 'A rare opportunity to acquire one of the last Classic Studies in virtually as-new condition.' The sale comes just weeks after a historic car sold for £100,000 in the UK. The incredible vehicle was a 1936 Rolls Royce Phantom III Touring Limousine, owned by Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery and Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Featuring an electric cigar lighter installed for the wartime politician and a drinks tray, the vehicle is one of a kind and comes in British Racing Green colour.
