Vintage is always in style, and California-based Singer has a great take on a retro icon. Evoking the spirit of the 60s original, the Singer 911 taps the best of each decade of Porsche engineering (the “race-bred chic” of the 70s, the bulletproof reliability of the 80s, and the “power and sophistication” of the 90s) and comes out a winner. Where Singer really stands out from other tuners is that it uses donor cars as the platform for their creation. The updated lime green paint job is certainly of the right mindframe, and is complimented by only slightly updated throwbacks like powercoated versions of Porsche’s trademark Fuchs wheels and OEM-like Hella bi-xenons up front. Under the paint, carbon fiber reigns supreme, replacing the steel body panels that wrapped the original; in fact, according to the engineers at Singer, their 911 weighs in at just 2,400 pounds. The interior is pure race car and is thankfully devoid of alcantara. With sexy Recaro seats, a Porsche racing three-spoke steering wheel, and VDO/Tag Heuer gauges highlighted by a color-matched Singer tachometer, the interior should obviously prove to any observer that this 911 is a driver’s car before all else. Speaking of driving, the Singer will hang with any GT3, thanks to its uniquely tuned 3.82 liter boxer-six, it is the proud owner of 425bhp, which enables the retro rocket to hit 60mph in a scant 3.9 seconds.

A work of art.
Bespoke 911 for the uber-rich.
Subtle reference to Heuer is considered.
