2025 Singer-Reimagined 911 Carrera Coupe Brings Wide-Body Flair and 420 hp to the Air-Cooled Faithful
The latest project from Singer Vehicle Design, the 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe Reimagined by Singer, revisits the rare “Super Sport Equipment” wide-body 911s of the mid-1980s and filters that look through the company’s well-documented obsession with obsessive detail. Limited to 100 commissions, the car starts life as a Type 964 donor, yet very little of the original package remains untouched once Singer, Cosworth, Red Bull Advanced Technologies, and Bosch finish their work.
Engine: an 8,000-rpm love letter to Mezger
At the center of the build sits a 4.0-liter flat-six that blends old-school air cooling with modern water-cooled cylinder heads and, for the first time in a Singer, variable valve timing. Cosworth handled combustion and breathing while Singer re-worked the rest of the architecture. The result is 420 horsepower, more than 300 lb-ft of torque on tap across a broad plateau, and a redline north of 8,000 rpm. A titanium exhaust keeps the soundtrack era-correct yet decidedly louder than stock.
Power still goes exclusively to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual. Buyers can order an up-high, open-gate shifter—one of those details that will have purists drooling and the mechanically squeamish scratching their heads.
Chassis: 964 bones, F1-grade reinforcement
Under the carbon-fiber bodywork lives the original steel monocoque, stripped, measured, and surgically stiffened with composite and steel inserts developed alongside Red Bull Advanced Technologies. Singer claims meaningful gains in torsional rigidity, an area where stock G-series and early 964s routinely showed their age.
Electronically adjustable, four-way dampers derived from the firm’s Turbo study work with a selectable nose-lift. Michelin Pilot Sport rubber wraps 18-inch center-lock wheels—white by default, other finishes available. Carbon-ceramic rotors sit behind those spokes; steel discs remain an option, but you rarely see them on completed builds.
Electron nannies, but only if you ask
Singer still leans hard into the analogue experience, yet the Carrera Coupe gains current Bosch ABS, traction, and stability control. Five drive modes—Road, Sport, Track, Off, and Weather—vary the intervention, steering weight, and damper settings. The safety net is welcome considering the engine’s enthusiasm for revs and the relatively short 98.6-inch wheelbase.
Touring or Sport—or both
A nifty party trick hides in plain sight: the car can wear either a Touring or Sport aero package. Touring uses a flush engine cover with a speed-activated wing; Sport swaps in a fixed whale tail, deeper splitter, and optional pop-up auxiliary lamps. Each complete front and rear fascia fits into a color-matched flight case that comes with the car, allowing owners to “dress” the coupe in a few hours. It’s a toy-box approach that feels equal parts practical and indulgent—exactly the kind of flourish Singer buyers appreciate.
Cabin: haute couture meets 1980s ergonomics
Inside, Singer’s usual tailoring applies: hand-stitched leather or velvet-corduroy centers, brass-finish gauge bezels, and milled-aluminum switchgear. Raised seat shells and a shaved pedal box improve the driving position, while hidden infotainment and CarPlay integration keep modern conveniences out of sight. The Mars Pink/Tourmaline leather example and the black-and-Interferenza cloth Sport cockpit underscore just how far you can push the palette.
Performance numbers and the price conversation
Singer does not publish official 0-60 mph or top-speed figures, but given the power-to-weight ratio—roughly 2,600 lb with fluids—expect sub-four-second sprints and a Vmax in the high 180s. As for cost, every build is bespoke; recent Singer commissions with similar spec routinely clear the $1 million mark before options. The Carrera Coupe will almost certainly follow suit, especially with just 100 build slots worldwide.
How it fits in the Singer universe
This Carrera Coupe joins the Classic, Classic Turbo, DLS, and DLS Turbo restorations already in circulation, further broadening Singer’s catalog without overlapping too much. Where the Classic keeps to early-911 proportions and the DLS chases lap times, the new car delivers a nostalgic wide-body stance, modern-ized mechanicals, and a naturally aspirated heartbeat.
Worth the obsession?
Singer’s latest effort blends period styling with contemporary engineering more seamlessly than ever, and the Touring-to-Sport swap adds a genuinely useful flexibility. Whether the experience justifies the eye-watering buy-in will depend on how much a future owner values authenticity, craftsmanship, and the ability to make an air-cooled 911 feel relevant in 2025. For the 100 customers already lining up, that answer probably came the moment they heard 8,000 rpm through titanium pipes.
