The 1990 Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer – DLS EP1 represents the very beginning of Singer’s groundbreaking Dynamics and Lightweighting Study. First unveiled at the 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed, EP1 was one of just two cars used to launch the program and is the exact car featured in Singer’s original press photography. Finished in Parallax White with Ghosted Light stripes and Norfolk Yellow accents, it became an instant icon and a turning point in Singer’s history.
The DLS project pushed Singer’s vision of the ultimate air-cooled 911 further than ever before. Working with Williams Advanced Engineering, Norbert Singer, and Hans Mezger, the team reimagined the classic 964 platform using Formula One-grade technology.
The result was a 4.0-liter flat-six engine with four-valve heads, featuring titanium and magnesium components, and an exhaust crafted from titanium and Inconel, which produced 500 horsepower and revved to 9,300 rpm. To optimize weight and balance, even ancillary systems, such as air conditioning and steering, were battery-powered, ensuring maximum output went directly to the rear wheels through a specially positioned six-speed manual gearbox.
The chassis was clad in carbon fiber bodywork, shaped using computational fluid dynamics, while aerodynamics were refined with a front splitter, roof wing, and a reimagined ducktail spoiler. Magnesium center-lock wheels, Brembo CCMR carbon-ceramic brakes, and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires completed the package. Inside, EP1 features carbon fiber bucket seats in Norfolk Yellow leather, exposed carbon accents, and Singer’s signature exposed gear linkage.
Restored in 2018 and fully refreshed by Singer in 2023, EP1 has covered just 850 miles since completion. It is offered with a twelve-month Singer warranty, bespoke color-matched Track 1 – DLS Edition watch, matching luggage, and two sets of lightweight magnesium wheels.
Currently, this landmark Singer is available through RM Sotheby’s Sealed with an estimate of $3,250,000 – $3,750,000 USD.
