Singer DLS Turbo | Celebrating Turbocharged Endurance Racers
Singer, the legendary California-based arbiter of luxury, beckons you to embark on a journey of unparalleled automotive excellence. Behold their extraordinary restoration prowess, a symphony of artistry and engineering that transcends the boundaries of imagination. It is time for action, for you are about to witness the birth of the Porsche 911 reimagined by Singer-DLS Turbo, a testament to human ingenuity and mechanical mastery.
In a daring move, Singer has thrust itself into the forefront of automotive brilliance, expanding their Dynamics & Lightweighting Study (DLS) to incorporate turbocharging. The result? A breathtaking ode to the triumphant 934/5 endurance racers of the late 1970s, forging an indomitable bridge between Porsche's storied racing legacy and the contemporary world.
Prepare to be captivated as Singer's meticulous artisans honour the 934/5 racing legends, weaving a seamless tapestry between past and present. This is not just a restoration; it's a resurrection of racing heritage that you need to pay attention to.
Picture this: Type 964 Porsche 911s, born between 1989 and 1994, gracefully transformed into modern-day marvels. Singer disassembles each vehicle with meticulous precision, revealing the steel monocoque at its core. Here, the foundation for greatness is laid as every detail is scrutinised, strengthened, and prepared for the rebirth that awaits.
Singer's relentless pursuit of perfection is revealed through modified carbon fibre bodywork, meticulously designed for enhanced stiffness and weight reduction. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis guides every curve, perfecting aerodynamics to an art form. Central front intakes, hood vents, rear fender intakes, and NACA ducts conspire to optimise cooling efficiency, a testament to the relentless pursuit of performance.
But here's where Singer grants you the power of choice - two distinct approaches await, tailored to your desires. The track-focused rendition boasts a high-downforce rear wing and a front fascia primed for the race circuit. Conversely, the road-focused option flaunts an aero-optimized rear ducktail spoiler and a front fascia designed to slice through the air with finesse. Freedom beckons as you can blend these two worlds into a personalised masterpiece.
Beneath the hood, Singer works their magic on your Type 964 Porsche 911 engine, rendering it a masterpiece of power and precision. A 3.8L, 4-valve-per-cylinder flat-six machine emerges, fitted with twin turbochargers, electric wastegates, an air-to-water intercooler, and an electrically powered fan. This engineering marvel generates over 700 HP at over 9000 rpm - a symphony of power and precision that propels you into the stratosphere. The driving experience is yours to command with a 6-speed manual transmission, track-oriented suspension, bespoke dampers with remote adjustment, and lightweight carbon ceramic discs with monobloc callipers. Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 or Cup 2R tires wrap around lightweight forged magnesium centre lock wheels, ensuring the road bows to your will.
Yet, Singer's artistry continues beyond the mechanical. Every inch of your chariot, from its exterior paint to the leather caressing its interior, is a canvas for your imagination. This personalisation is elevated to an art form, ensuring an experience that is truly unique.
Now, you may wonder about the cost of such transcendence. Fear not, for Singer tailors their services to your desires, and pricing reflects your vision. But heed the call quickly, for the opportunity to participate in this automotive revolution is limited to the select few who dare to dream.
The time for action is now. Bear witness to the resurrection of automotive greatness at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK from 13-16 July 2023 or the Monterey Peninsula in Northern California for Car Week in August 2023. Prepare to be enraptured by Singer's power, passion, and personalisation symphony. Your journey to automotive excellence begins today.
