The Porsche 911, with a silhouette that has remained unchanged since its inception, is inarguably one of the most iconic, most recognizable cars in the world. Perfect as a daily driver, and more than capable as a racecar, it was hard to fathom improving on the 911 designs of years past—but that is exactly what Singer Vehicle Design has accomplished.

Marrying the spirit of classic Porsche design with superb modern craftsmanship, Singer has firmly established itself as the definitive authority in air-cooled 911 enhancement. Rather than simply restoring type 964-generation cars, Singer reimagines them as visions of what Porsche’s engineers of the late 20th century might have achieved if they had the technological and material advancements of the 21st century. Every example is the result of an exhaustive, no-compromise process spanning thousands of hours, encompassing complete restoration, reengineering, and aesthetic reinvention in close collaboration with the commissioning client.

Singer’s landmark Classic Services program, which established the company’s global reputation, progressed from hand-sculpted clay prototypes to the extensive use of carbon fiber bodywork, sophisticated engineering of the air-cooled engine, and exceptional craftsmanship in every detail. With the order books officially closed, Classic Services commissions have become highly sought after on the secondhand market.

In 2021 the consignor began working with Singer to design their dream 911. A 1992 Porsche 911 C2 Sunroof Coupe served as the blank canvas for what would come to be referred to as the Palm Beach Commission, a nod to where the commissioning owner resides. Fully specified by the consignor, with build sheet on file, this example left the Singer factory finished in the brilliant shade of Bahama Yellow with Ghosted Light rocker stripes with Porsche script, accented beautifully by black painted Fuchs wheels with polished lips. Body colored calipers and bumperettes further tied things together, and the addition of quarter window integrated sideview mirrors, a center fuel filler, as well as an external oil filler give the 911 a wonderful, backdated look.

The car is powered by a 4.0-liter flax six equipped with big cams, ceramic-finish plenum intake, black ceramic-coated exhaust system, high-flow cats, and featuring the standard MoTeC ECU tune. It is backed by a six-speed transmission. An Öhlins suspension ensures tires remain firmly on the road while a Supple Road tune affords a more comfortable ride. With all this power comes great stopping responsibility, which is provided by the Brembo big brake upgrade.

The interior is tastefully trimmed in black leather, including the dash, knee-pad, and kick panels. Heavily bolstered Recaro four-way touring seats with headrests are also trimmed in black leather with suede-mix weave inserts and brass grommets. The seat insert pattern is carried into the door panels and lower dash. Rounding out the nicely appointed interior is a leather-wrapped Prototipo steering wheel with Bahama Yellow stitching, early 911-style instrumentation, including an 11,000-rpm tachometer (a subtle tribute to Spinal Tap), square-weave carpet with rubber overmats, and drilled footboards. It is further equipped with air conditioning and Classic Nav stereo with upgraded subwoofer.

In total, options brought the price of this specification to $587,200. The car was completed in March of 2022 by Singer. Since delivery to its first and only owner since reimagining, the car had covered just 710 miles at time of cataloguing, reflecting an “as it left the factory” appearance throughout.

With the order books now officially closed for Singer’s Classic Study program, this low-mileage example, with its stunning accoutrements and breathtaking powertrain, offers a unique opportunity to acquire what many argue is an experience unlike any other in a vintage sports car: A classic Porsche for the modern day—a Porsche reimagined by Singer.
