The Ultimate Porsche 911 Turbo: A Singer Wizardry Masterpiece
For over a decade, Singer has been synonymous with transforming the classic 964-generation Porsche 911 into a retro masterpiece. The brand's journey began with the 'Classic' models, followed by the raw and powerful 'DLS' series. Now, the highly anticipated DLS Turbo lineup has been unveiled, paying homage to the iconic 934/5 that dominated the 1977 Trans-Am season in North America.
One standout example, aptly named 'Sorcerer', showcases a stunning Fantasia Blue exterior with Champagne-colored magnesium wheels. The design takes the DLS Turbo concept to new heights with an aggressive front bumper, splitter, rear wing, and diffuser, ensuring exceptional downforce and track performance.
Stepping inside, the cabin exudes luxury with Pebble Grey leather upholstery, Pearl Grey Alcantara seat centers, and Champagne piping, creating a harmonious contrast. The interior also features bespoke 'floating' gauges and discreet navigation and phone connectivity, blending analog charm with modern convenience.
At the heart of the DLS Turbo lies a 3.8-liter flat-six twin-turbocharged engine, capable of revving to 9000 rpm and producing an astonishing 522 kW and 750 Nm of torque. This powerhouse is mated to a six-speed manual transmission, allowing the driver to control the gearbox via an exposed mechanism shifter.
To handle the immense power, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires and a CCM-R carbon ceramic braking system are employed. Singer also boasts the inclusion of the latest generation ABS, traction control, and electronic stability control, developed in collaboration with Bosch. Drivers can choose from five modes (Road, Sport, Track, Off, and Weather) to adapt to various driving conditions.
Rob Dickinson, Singer's founder, executive chairman, and creative director, shared his vision: 'With DLS Turbo, we aimed to celebrate the 911's evolution as an icon on both the road and track, exploring the potential of turbocharging the exceptional engine developed through the DLS program.'
Each DLS Turbo is a unique collaboration with global clients, and the Sorcerer model is a testament to this partnership. With its powerful engine, exquisite design, and cutting-edge technology, the Sorcerer is set to captivate enthusiasts and collectors alike, marking a thrilling beginning to the year for Singer enthusiasts.
