Goodwood: Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe Reimagined by Singer

On the surface, the new 911 Carrera Coupe Reimagined by Singer nods to the rare wide-body G-series Carreras of the 1980s. Remember the “Super Sport Equipment” package, Turbo looks, naturally aspirated soul? This is that, distilled and dialed up with 21st-century precision. Beneath the timeless profile lies a Type 964 monocoque that’s been painstakingly stripped, scanned, and structurally strengthened in partnership with Red Bull Advanced Technologies. You read that right, yes, the Formula One guys.

Singer’s use of carbon fiber isn’t new, but the execution here is next-level. The panels are scalpel-sharp, the shut lines impossibly tight. There’s a speed-activated rear wing for touring types or a fixed whale tail for the purists. And if you can’t decide? You can have both, complete with a flight case for swapping bodywork. It’s a little James Bond, a little German engineering madness, and entirely Singer.

Flat-Six, Reimagined by Singer

At the heart of it all is a new 4.0-liter, naturally aspirated flat-six. It’s a Frankenstein’s monster of Porsche lineage and modern engineering, created in concert with Cosworth. This is Singer’s first engine with variable valve timing and their first to pair air-cooled cylinders with water-cooled heads. The fan? Electric. The sound? Titanium-backed and glorious.

The motor revs past 8,000 rpm and sends 420 horsepower to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual. Shift it yourself through a raised, exposed mechanism that looks like it belongs in a piece of haute horlogerie. There’s nothing synthetic or simulated about the experience; it’s raw and tactile and possibly the last of its kind.

Underneath the Magic

Ride and handling were never afterthoughts for Singer, but the Carrera Coupe takes things even further. Four-way adjustable dampers are driver-controlled, with electronic damping and a front nose lift system. Traction and stability control were developed with Bosch, paired with selectable drive modes (Road, Sport, Track, Off, and Weather) to let the driver dictate the mood. Carbon-ceramic brakes and 18-inch center-lock wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport tires complete the mechanical ballet.

This isn’t just a pretty face meant for Sunday Concours; Reimagined by Singer means it’s engineered to hit apexes and redlines intently.

Inside the Dream

Singer’s leatherwork has always bordered on obsessive, but the Carrera Coupe’s cabin goes even further. Think 400 hours of sanding, painting, and stitching just to get the seams right. The car in Celeste Passalacqua features Mars Pink corduroy inserts in velvet; yes, velvet. Another in Giallo Segnale opts for black leather paired with a technical “Interferenza” cloth, echoing motorsport without losing the luxury.

Every surface, from the exposed shifter to the hand-built gauges, drips with craft. Technology is present but discreet, air conditioning, navigation, and Apple CarPlay are integrated without disrupting the analog vibe. There’s even a track-ready cross-brace option for those who want to look fast standing still.

More Than a Car

The 911 Carrera Coupe Reimagined by Singer isn’t a spec sheet warrior. It’s a philosophy. Every car begins with a real, owner-supplied Type 964 and undergoes a full nut-and-bolt restoration. Singer’s Global Partner Network ensures owners across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia get white-glove service from build to delivery and beyond.

Only 100 of these new commissions will be completed. Pricing? If you have to ask, well, you probably already know how this works. Each build is a bespoke journey, tailored around the driver’s vision and executed with Swiss-watchmaker-level precision.

Ten Years at Goodwood, 500 Cars Later

Singer didn’t just show up at Goodwood this year, they made history. Rob Dickinson’s crew passed the 500-car milestone across all their services: Classic, Classic Turbo, DLS, and now, the Carrera Coupe. To mark the occasion, one of the new cars took to the Hillclimb while its twin held court outside the Stable Yard, surrounded by a crowd that likely included more than a few Porsche engineers quietly taking notes.

If there’s a better way to spend time and money on four wheels, we haven’t found it. And based on the reaction at Goodwood, neither has anyone else.
