Yahoo Autos View Photos of Singer's DLS Turbo, a Reimagined Porsche 934/5
Singer—the renowned Porsche 911 restoration specialist—has revealed its latest creation, the DLS Turbo, which transforms a 964-generation car into a 934/5 for modern times. Singer will only build a limited number of them, with prices that vary per car but each costing more than most people can afford.
While the restyled 911 doesn't lose its identity, Singer masterfully merges its retro details into a modern interpretation.
A new body made of carbon fiber is also fitted to the car, with Singer claiming it reduces weight and increases stiffness.
The DLS Turbo's widened bodywork is also aerodynamically optimized, with large air intakes up front and NACA ducts on the rear fenders that all help improve cooling.
Singer's modern-day 934/5 is powered by a specially developed twin-turbo 3.8-liter flat-six that can produce an estimated 700 horsepower at over 9000 rpm.
The track version adopts its own front bumper with a larger splitter as well as an enormous rear wing.
Singer's attention to detail can be seen with its modern interpretation of Porsche's classic five-pod instrument cluster.
Inside, the track-focused version of the DLS Turbo features a roll cage and racing seats with safety harnesses.
The interior of the this DLS Turbo track model is colored to match the exterior's Blood Orange paint job.
After a customer sends in their 964-gen Porsche 911 (1989—1994), Singer completely takes it apart, exposing the car's steel chassis before restoring and strengthening it.
Singer offers the DLS Turbo in two different configurations, one that's set up for on-road performance and another that's all about track duty.
Singer does allow customers to have their DLS Turbo with both aero configurations, but they have to swap the parts by removing them first.
There's also an available track-focused suspension that includes exclusive dampers.
The road version has a unique front bumper, a rear ducktail spoiler, and a plusher interior.
Unlike the track version, the road-focused DLS Turbo's cabin doesn't have a roll cage, and this example's upholstery is cream colored.
A three-spoke steering wheel, which has no buttons whatsoever and no badging, frames the five-pod cluster with modern gauges.
As one would expect of such an expensive, highly personalizable vehicle, customers can get virtually any paint color they like and can be equally creative with interior materials.
A six-speed manual gearbox manages power to the rear wheels, with all four corners fitted with carbon-ceramic rotors and monoblock brake calipers.
The 19-inch front and 20-inch rear forged magnesium center-lock wheels are available with sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 or stickier Cup 2 R tires.
Since each Singer DLS Turbo is built to order, prices are all over the place. Not only are the cars extremely expensive, they also have limited availability. So just being super wealthy won't guarantee you'll get one; you'll have to be lucky too.
