Much like many remarkable automotive endeavors, Rob Dickinson’s concept for a customized Porsche 911 stemmed from his deep affection for the model. Ever since Singer Vehicle Design unveiled their vision to the world in 2009, they have rightfully garnered the attention and admiration of enthusiasts globally. As more collectors experienced the ultimate embodiment of not only the founder’s renowned belief that “Every detail matters,” but also perhaps the finest blend of contemporary materials and engineering that delivers a classic driving experience, it comes as no surprise that the brand has amassed an incredible following. Describing Singer’s success with their initial ‘Classic’ study model as anything less than monumental would be an understatement. With overwhelming demand and an intricate construction process, collectors needed to exercise exceptional patience while awaiting their personalized creations. Upon revealing their latest ‘Classic Turbo’ commissions Singer officially closed orders for their original ‘Classic’ models, leaving only existing commissions available, like this exquisite Classic.

Special Wishes

Special Wish Item 1 – Milky Nickel For All Trim

Singer begins their ‘Reimagining’ process with a stock Porsche 964 and, with cost a secondary concern, they combine the best available parts to provide a truly uncompromised finished product. In the pursuit for their desired level of perfection, Singer will commit over four thousand labor hours into building each bespoke example. This Singer Classic was completed in January of 2019. This highly specified example features the largest, most desirable 4.0-liter flat-six developed by Ed Pink Racing Engines.

Engines produce 390 horsepower thanks to a multitude of internal upgrades such as a custom crankshaft, oil pump, pistons, cylinders, connecting rods, camshafts, cylinder heads, individual throttle bodies, and the ever so visually gratifying aluminum intake plenum. This engine is paired with a chassis that features its own plethora of upgrades, including the optional close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission, Brembo brake calipers with carbon ceramic rotors, and Öhlins 2-way adjustable suspension to provide a staggering level of usable performance. While this Singer is capable of incredible performance figures, Collector’s Garage Senior Specialist Alexander Weaver, a noted Singer enthusiast, praises the vehicle’s ability to provide pure driving enjoyment, whether commuting to work or navigating the twists of a favorite mountain road.

As a result of each Singer being built to specification, collectors were faced with nearly endless customization opportunities that resulted in some truly unique and beautiful examples. Beginning with the optional seam-welded chassis, this Classic was finished in Singer’s Specially Formulated Collection – Black Metallic with Singer’s Classic Leather Collection – Black leather interior and leather weave accent. Singer Red Brembo brake calipers paired with forged aluminum Fuchs-style wheels accent this Singer’s detailed specification complimenting many of the subtle changes Singer has made to the now largely carbon fiber body. Special wishes indicate that all trim was spec’d in the Milky Nickel finish. The center fuel filler option and anodized bumperettes pair well with the Brass deck lid badges to finish off this attractive exterior. The interior features desirable 8-way touring Recaro seats featuring black leather and contrasting leather weave. Further options include air conditioning and Singer’s Early 911 gauge set. The Porsche Classic Radio Navigation unit, including Apple CarPlay, features an upgraded Audison Amp, Dynaudio speakers and subwoofer for enjoying music while being guided to your destination.

Crafted with precision to deliver both a captivating driving experience and outstanding performance, this Singer Classic boasts a mere 1,430 miles on the odometer as of its cataloging. Having undergone its initial shakedown and essential Singer service adjustments, this vehicle is now primed for complete enjoyment. It presents an exceptional chance to acquire an almost-new rendition of Singer’s classic reinterpretation of the 911, showcasing their commitment to excellence. With an extensive build sheet outlining this unique and understated Singer Classic, it will blend in when needed and with a quick application of throttle let everyone know that it is not just an ordinary 911.
