    Default Singer Vehicle Design Porsche 911 ~ An Air cooled masterpiece.














    Autoblog...

    Singer Vehicle Design rolled out its first prototype, plainly named the "Singer 911," at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance last month. Based on an '80s-era long-wheelbase 911 donor vehicle, the company strips each chassis to its bare shell for "reinvention" into what Singer calls a "celebration of the golden air-cooled era of the world's most important sports car."

    Incontestable is its vintage Porsche 911 look. However, the Singer 911 is far from antiquated. The complete reincarnation includes chassis stiffening, new active aerodynamics, and a lightweight integral backbone structure and roll cage to improve torsional rigidity. Most interestingly, nearly all of the steel body panels are replaced by full carbon fiber composite bodywork candy-coated in Singer's exclusive "Racing Orange" paint.

    Under the rear decklid is an air-cooled 3.82-liter flat-six sporting six individual throttle bodies. With a GT3 crankshaft and titanium connecting rods, the powerplant spins eagerly to 8,000 RPM. The engine sends 425 horsepower and 340 lb-ft of torque to a proper Getrag G50 six-speed manual transmission. According to the engineering team, the 2,400-pound Singer 911 will sprint to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds. Top speed is in excess of 170 MPH

    "Masterpiece" is the ONLY word that appropriately describes this rolling work of my dreams. +reps because the car gods demand it of me.

    Woah. That is breathtaking. The wheels are classic, just deeper and bigger. Always wondered it would look like to have super versions of OEM stuff.

    EJ, how far back you can go interchangeability wise on the Porsche engine internals?

    Yeah. Do those guys have to suck dick for parts or have they been sticking to the same formula?

    Well, I'm sure you can fab up some new stuff. Its not like Porsche 911 engine blue prints are locked away. I guess if you want to go all original when restoring a Carrera RS, you'd be spending big money and waiting for things but when you're building one like this, new parts are not a bad thing.

    Porsche has the N/A 6cyl design on lock down. Its a big deal to get a VQ35 to make 300rwhp. Porsche is cranking that out it their sleep.
