As if drooling over a Porsche 911 reimagined by Singer wasn’t enough—and by that, I mean a 964 with backdated goodness—the California-based Porsche restomod specialist unveiled the Dynamics and Lightweighting Study–Turbo.

The DLS project, presented in 2018, took restoring 911s to the next level. The company worked with Williams Advanced Engineering to develop the chassis, the engine, and the exterior further.

The result was a curb weight of just 990kg through the use of lightweight materials such as carbon fiber, magnesium, and titanium, and an output of 500hp from the 3.8-liter naturally aspirated engine. Admittedly, it sounded like a special project at the time.

Did we expect it to be the basis of future Singer restorations?

As the name suggests, the latest study adds turbocharging. The DLS Turbo is reimagined as a 934/5, paying tribute to the wide box-hipped Porsche endurance racer from 1977.

The restoration process starts when the customer sends his/her Porsche 964 for a customized restoration, which is then stripped down. The chassis is strengthened and prepped before fitting the carbon-fiber shell. Panels include a central intake and hood vent to optimize cooling. Fender intakes at the rear and NACA ducts help keep the brakes and the turbochargers cool.

Customers can specify their car to be track- or road-focused, or suit both aero configurations. The Blood Orange example features a high-downforce rear wing with an adjustable upper element, along with a larger splitter. Track-oriented suspension and bespoke dampers with remote adjustment can also be requested.

The Moet Blanc (or gold) is more road-friendly, with an aero-optimized ducktail spoiler and a less aggressive front bumper to reduce drag. The front fascia and the rear decklid assembly are detachable and can be switched for preference.

The 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six puts out 700hp at over 9,000rpm. A six-speed manual gearbox sends power to the rear wheels.

Capping off the DLS Turbo are lightweight forged magnesium center-lock 19-inch wheels at the front and 20-inch wheels at the rear, fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 or Cup 2R rubber, depending on the customer.

How much is this Porsche 911 reimagined by Singer, you might ask? Well, personalization requests will vary—from paint to interior—which means no two restorations will ever be the same.
