Singer Turbo Study Arrives With Mega Power And Retro-Tastic Interior

If you are extremely wealthy and want the ultimate interpretation of the legendary 911 sports car, you don't go to Porsche, you go to Singer Vehicle Design. The company's "Reimagined" 911 models borrow elements from the greatest Porsche vehicles throughout the decades and perfect them, all for premium price. Thus far, all Singer models have used a naturally aspirated flat-six engine, but a recent Turbo Study previewed what it could do to reimagine the first-ever Porsche 930 Turbo, only using a 964 as the base.

Over 70 people have placed an order for the car, according to Singer, which is why the company decided to release some new pictures and further details about it. The striking photos show the Singer Turbo Study wearing a Turbo Racing White paint job with unique green racing stripes and matching pastel green wheels.

The entire body is made from carbon fiber, meaning this car will be extremely lightweight. Like other Singer vehicles, it borrows from Porsche's "best hits" for design elements such as the center-mounted fuel filler cap, louvered bumpers, and rear whale-tail spoiler. This is a stunning vehicle on the outside, but the interior is even more special.

Singer's first images already looked stupendous with tan leather, but these new pictures show a bespoke Houndstooth "Grun" cloth interior with carbon fiber accents. The lightweight doors also feature Houndstooth inserts, a pattern commonly used by Porsche in the 1970s and 1980s. Though it's all brand-new parts inside, the cabin keeps a retro theme with period-style controls. Aside from a wireless phone charger and air conditioning, the modern technology is fairly limited.

Drivers will enjoy rowing the six-speed manual transmission from their carbon fiber track seats. That transmission transfers the power from a twin-turbocharged flat-six engine to the rear wheels only. Singer initially stated the Turbo Design Study would have "at least 450 horsepower" and now confirms a power increase to 510 hp. That's significantly less than the Porsche 911 Turbo-based Sport Classic, but the Singer car will be much lighter and more bespoke. Keeping that all pinned down, a sports suspension with lowered ride height and a carbon ceramic braking system ensure all 510 ponies are put to good use.

Knowing Singer's lengthy hand-built process, the Turbo Study won't hit the road for a while, but we can't wait to see it in action.
