Singer has pulled the covers off its latest 911 reimagination: a naturally aspirated Carrera Coupe inspired by the wide-bodied G-series models of the 1980s. As ever, a Type 964 underpins the build – but before diving into the technical details, co-developed with Cosworth and Red Bull Advanced Technologies, we need to talk about the pop-up headlights.

Not in the classic 930 Slantnose sense, mind you – these aren’t concealed main beams tucked into the wings. Instead, Singer has fitted what it describes as “high-performance auxiliary driving lights, rising from the front hood when activated and folding down flush when not in use”. It’s a bold, creative move reflecting Singer’s growing confidence as its design language continues to evolve.

Unlike Singer’s earlier Dynamics & Lightweighting Study (DLS), developed with Williams Advanced Engineering, this new project marks its first collaboration with Red Bull’s Formula 1 tech division. Structural simulations by Red Bull Advanced Technologies (RBAT) have led to new composite and steel reinforcements for the 964 platform – boosting torsional rigidity while preserving the car’s original architecture. The result, according to Singer, is more composed handling and a more refined ride – without diluting the analogue feel and theatre of the car.

Singer has steadily evolved its Mezger-based flat-six over the years, but this is the first to feature variable valve timing – developed in partnership with Cosworth. The naturally aspirated engine now produces 414bhp, with what Singer describes as a broader spread of performance: sharper at high revs, yet smoother and more tractable at low speeds. Cosworth’s input covers everything from combustion chamber design to optimised intake and exhaust flow.

Cooling has evolved too, with air-cooled cylinders now paired with water-cooled heads. The layout, developed from the DLS Turbo programme, blends classic Porsche engineering with modern compliance – helping to futureproof the car for tighter emissions standards. The engine revs beyond 8,000rpm and is matched to a six-speed manual gearbox. For the first time on a naturally aspirated Singer, there’s also the option of an exposed, raised gear linkage – a detail that adds to the car’s visual and tactile engagement.

The bodywork, formed entirely from carbon fibre, references Porsche’s original Super Sport Equipment package – flared arches, a deep front spoiler, and the option of a whale tail. For added versatility, buyers can choose between a fixed or active rear wing – or, uniquely, receive both in a bespoke flight case, allowing the setup to be changed post-delivery.

“In the 1980s, you could order a new Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe with the pumped-up bodywork of the Turbo but powered by the company’s latest naturally aspirated flat six,” says Rob Dickinson, Singer’s founder and executive chairman. “It became known as the Carrera with Super Sport Equipment. Our services reference this car and celebrate the era with a vision for an ultimate, naturally aspirated G model 911, reimagined for the twenty-first century. At its heart is a remarkable flat-six, bringing together our learnings from the last fifteen years.”

Under all that carbon fibre sit electronically adjustable four-way dampers adapted from Singer’s turbocharged programme. These are paired with a front-axle lift and five selectable drive modes: Road, Sport, Track, Off and Weather. Michelin Pilot Sport tyres wrap optional Fuchs-style 18-inch centre-lock wheels, while carbon-ceramic brakes are available for those seeking sharper stopping performance.

As ever with Singer, the interior is fully bespoke. Classic 911 dial layouts are reimagined with watchmaker-level detail, while stitched and burnished leather seams make their debut. Modern features like air conditioning, navigation and Apple CarPlay are subtly integrated. Two early examples illustrate the range: one finished in Celeste Passalacqua with a Mars Pink and velvet corduroy cabin; the other in Giallo Segnale with rally lamps, a cross-brace and Interferenza cloth trim.

Production is limited to 100 cars, with commissions now open. Each build begins with a Type 964 donor and undergoes a complete teardown and reassembly at Singer’s California facility. As always, price is on application and the specification is limited only by the imagination.
