510 HP Singer Turbo Study Makes World Debut At 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed

Singer has been stunning crowd at the 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed with a trio of different takes on the Porsche 911 that included the global debut of the Turbo Study revealed earlier this year.

The comprehensive update of a 1980s 911 Turbo forms a static exhibit outside Goodwood House alongside an example of the model’s totally re-engineered 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six that features air-to-water intercooling to help it deliver 510 hp (517 PS), compared with around 296 hp (300 PS) for a stock Euro-spec Turbo from the decade when greed was good and bankers were buying these cars new.

Commissioned by an anonymous but evidently hugely wealthy Porsche fan, the Turbo Study was built with a focus on improving both performance and its touring ability. The subtly enhanced bodywork is made from carbon, as are the brakes, while a six-speed manual hooked up the rear wheels offers two more ratios than all but the very last original 930s.

Plenty of show-goers will be disappointed not to see the Turbo Study moving in anger, so Singer has brought along a couple of other cars that you can see making mincemeat of Lord March’s front driveway. One of those is a customer version of the Singer DLS (Dynamic & Lightweight Study) decked out in homage to the 718 RS 60 Spyder driven by Hans Hermann and Olivier Gendebien to Porsche’s first overall victory at the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1960.

The carbon-bodied coupe is fitted with double wishbone front suspension, just like a modern 911 GT3, and powered by a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six developed with Williams Advanced Engineering that makes 500 hp (507 PS) and spins past 9,000 rpm.

And to remind us that it’s still doing a healthy trade in the Classic Study cars that made its name, Singer also brought along the Indy Commission, which was built to the exacting requirements of four-time Indy champ Dario Franchitti and which can also be seen attacking the famous hillclimb this weekend.
