Following its reveal at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the $1.8-million Singer Dynamics and Lightweighting Study (DLS) show car is set to visit this year’s Pebble Beach for its North American debut.
Singer’s latest creation was developed together with Williams Advanced Engineering with consultation from legendary Porsche engineer Hans Mezger; the reason for this was to create the world’s best air-cooled six-cylinder engine and just by reading the specs, it appears they’ve done it: a four-valve per cylinder, four-camshaft, naturally-aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six producing 500 hp at an incredible 9,000rpm.
The DLS is still based on a Porsche 964 but everything has been updated or replaced with no expense spared. The lever for the bespoke Hewland six-speed manual gearbox now sits higher and closer to the steering wheel, thanks to the custom exposed linkage. The gearbox uses magnesium casings with hollow shafts in order to reduce the rotating mass.
Wherever you look, there’s carbon, metal and leather blended beautifully, which to some people is enough to justify the insane price tag. This includes details like the carbon-fiber bucket seats from Recaro, a carbon steering wheel from Momo, a carbon-fiber instrument panel and more.
The impressive bodywork has been completely re-engineered, with Singer claiming that front-axle lift has been now eliminated thanks to a new front splitter and optimised air vents, a new roof channel and a much more effective ducktail rear spoiler.
Singer intends to build just 75 examples of the DLS, so if you have near $2 million to spare and a burning desire for the finest 911 out there, you better hurry.
