Singer Vehicle Design, a renowned California-based luxury restorer specializing in air-cooled Porsche 911s, presents a remarkable evolution to the Dynamics & Lightweighting Study (DLS). Following the requests from clients, Singer now introduces the DLS Turbo, offering bespoke restorations and modifications to these iconic Porsche cars. This meticulously crafted upgrade reflects the powerful legacy of the victorious 934/5 endurance racers from the 1970s, blending the thrill of the past with the performance of the present.
The Porsche 911, initially a naturally aspirated model, has been polished over time for optimum performance, both on the road and track. It was in the mid-1970s when the turbocharged 911 variant emerged, gradually evolving into the race-dominating Type 934/5 in 1977. With Singer’s new restoration services, owners of the Type 964 Porsche 911, produced between 1989 and 1994, can send their sports car for a customized, high-performance revamp. Each car is meticulously disassembled down to its steel monocoque.
The interior and exterior bodywork, along with all mechanical components, are removed and assessed. The chassis is cleaned, reinforced, and prepared for the next restoration stages, while the carbon fiber bodywork shape is determined using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis for optimum aerodynamics. Aspects like the central front intake, hood vent, rear fender intakes, and NACA ducts are designed for superior cooling performance.
