Singer has unveiled a new open-top commission based on the air-cooled Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet (964 generation), applying its signature restoration philosophy to a classic convertible platform while integrating modern engineering upgrades.

A Classic 964, Reengineered

The project starts with a customer-supplied Porsche 911 (964), originally produced between 1989 and 1994. Singer strips the car to its bare shell, reinforces the chassis for improved rigidity—especially important in a cabriolet—and rebuilds it using carbon-fiber body panels. The design retains the iconic 911 silhouette while refining aerodynamics, panel fitment, and surface detailing.

The convertible roof system is fully restored or reengineered to ensure improved sealing, durability, and reduced wind noise compared to the original factory configuration.

 

 

Naturally Aspirated Flat-Six Power

Power comes from a reworked 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine developed in collaboration with specialists such as Ed Pink Racing Engines. Output typically exceeds 390 horsepower, delivered to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission.

 

 

Key mechanical upgrades include:

• Advanced engine management systems
• Lightweight internal components
• Titanium exhaust systems
• Upgraded cooling solutions

The result is sharper throttle response, higher rev capability, and improved reliability while preserving the classic air-cooled character.

Chassis and Driving Dynamics

Singer enhances the 964’s driving dynamics with:

• Fully adjustable suspension systems
• Brembo high-performance braking systems
• Modern traction and stability tuning (discreetly integrated)
• Lightweight forged wheels with performance tires

Structural reinforcements compensate for the absence of a fixed roof, maintaining torsional stiffness and delivering precise handling expected from a high-end restomod.

Interior Craftsmanship

Each commission is bespoke. Buyers select from premium leathers, woven materials, exposed carbon trim, and classic-inspired gauges with modern internals. The cabin blends vintage Porsche design cues with updated ergonomics, improved sound insulation, and optional modern infotainment discreetly integrated into the dashboard.

Production Philosophy

Singer operates on a limited-production, commission-based model. Each car requires extensive build time and meticulous craftsmanship. Pricing typically reaches into the high six-figure range depending on specification, reflecting the level of engineering and personalization involved.

Unlike factory restomods, Singer vehicles are not mass-produced; each example is individually tailored to the owner’s preferences.
