Can you believe it’s been half a century since the 911 Turbo first blew our minds? Singer certainly hasn’t forgotten, and they’ve pulled out all the stops to celebrate the milestone. They’ve crafted a quartet of reimagined vintage 911 Turbos that are pure automotive art. Whether you fancy a cabriolet, targa, coupe, or the iconic slantnose coupe, Singer's got you covered—or had you covered, since the slantnose coupe’s 25-unit run is already sold out. We were only 79 years away from affording one ourselves, but hey, dreams are free, right?
Now, let’s talk performance. Singer has taken the original Mezger flat-six engine and given it the works. Thanks to a new twin-turbo system and an upgraded intercooler, you’re looking at 386 kW (517 metric horsepower) of raw, air-cooled fury. And the best part? It’s all harnessed through a six-speed manual gearbox. None of that dual-clutch, paddle-shifting nonsense here—just pure, unfiltered driving pleasure channeled straight to the rear wheels, which are shod in sticky Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres.
Singer hasn’t just slapped on some modern bits and called it a day, though. These cars stay true to their roots with design cues that pay homage to the originals. The wheel arches have been tastefully widened, and the exterior trim has been darkened with a bit more contouring for that perfect blend of retro and refined. And yes, the exhausts have been repositioned to complete the look.
But it’s not all old-school. Singer has wisely integrated modern tech where it counts. Bosch traction control and electronic stability control make sure that all that power doesn’t turn into a smoky mess. No Apple CarPlay, though. Maybe you can ask nicely?
As for pricing? Well, Singer’s keeping mum on that front. And as for how many slots are left for the other three versions, that’s anyone’s guess. But one thing’s for sure: this lineup is a fitting tribute to the 911 Turbo’s legacy. If you’re lucky enough to get your hands on one, you’ll be part of something truly special.
