FYI: The legendary Singer Vehicle Design has unveiled a bespoke 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Targa commissioned by a discerning enthusiast. Based on Porsche’s 964 series, this Singer restoration marries vintage charm with modern performance.
Unleashing Legendary Craftsmanship: The Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer
Based in Los Angeles and founded in 2009, Singer Vehicle Design is celebrated worldwide for its bespoke restorations of Porsche 911 sports cars. Each Singer project starts with a 964-series 911, meticulously stripped down to its steel unibody. Every vehicle is then reinforced with welding and fitted with carbon-fiber panels, such as the fenders, bumpers, front hood, and rear decklid. Furthermore, the front spoiler, lower rear valance, and rocker panels are crafted from textured black urethane, adding a touch of durability and flair.
Singer’s Unique Commissions: A Personalized Touch
Each 911 reimagined by Singer is a unique masterpiece, tailored to the specific tastes of its owner. One such example is the acclaimed Niseko Commission, which is now available on Bring A Trailer. No two Singer commissions are the same, making them as unique as the enthusiasts who commission them.
The Niseko Commission: A Feast for the Senses
The Niseko Commission, a standout amongst Singer’s notable projects, is based on a 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Targa. This exquisite machine is bathed in Onyx Green Metallic and features a removable targa panel covered in Oyster canvas.
