Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet Reimagined by Singer

A tribute to the rare wide‑body Cabriolet of the nineteen eighties

Singer drew inspiration from the rare 911 Carrera Cabriolet Turbo Look of the nineteen eighties. Wide hips, an upgraded chassis, a naturally aspirated engine, with or without the iconic whale tail.

That philosophy is now reimagined for the twenty‑first century. Each car begins life as an original 964 Cabriolet, which is completely stripped down to its steel monocoque. The chassis is reinforced with steel and composite bracing, after which an entirely new carbon‑fibre body is constructed. Wide fenders. A deep front splitter. Air intakes in the rear wheel arches. And optionally a fixed rear wing or a speed‑activated wing. Everything revolves around balance, between heritage and high‑tech.

4.0L flat six, developed with Cosworth

Beneath the rear deck sits a fully reborn 4.0L flat six, based on the original 964 engine but fundamentally reworked. Four valves per cylinder. Variable valve timing. Water‑cooled cylinder heads. Air‑cooled cylinders. An electrically driven cooling fan. A titanium exhaust system.

Cosworth contributed its motorsport expertise in combustion chamber design and intake and exhaust optimisation. The result is clear. Four hundred twenty horsepower. More than 8.000 rpm. And a much broader torque curve than ever before.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through an optimised six‑speed gearbox. Optionally fitted with a raised shifter and exposed linkage, pure mechanical theatre. This is a naturally aspirated sports car with a big heart. No turbo. No hybrid assistance. Just response.

New lightweight Z‑pattern roof construction

The big news is the roof. Singer developed a completely new lightweight cabriolet roof with a Z‑fold mechanism.

The roof disappears elegantly behind the front seats, after which a separate tonneau cover neatly seals everything. The silhouette remains clean, both open and closed. The result is an open 911 with the torsional rigidity and precision you would expect from a modern sports car.

Modern technology, discreetly integrated

Beneath the surface, Singer combines classic mechanics with contemporary safety systems:

• Four‑way adjustable dampers with electronic damping control

• New ABS, traction control and stability control developed with Bosch

• Five driving modes: Road, Sport, Track, Off and Weather

• Carbon‑ceramic brakes

• Eighteen inch centre‑lock wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport tyres

• Nose lift system

This is no show car. Singer tests its projects at Millbrook, IDIADA, Nardò and the Nürburgring, including full TÜV certification.

Interior: haute horlogerie in leather

Inside, the classic 911 layout remains intact, but everything is reworked to watchmaker levels of detail. Hand‑built instruments, custom‑stitched leather with burnished seams, bespoke colour schemes and materials.

From Tangerine leather with corduroy seat inserts to Ink interiors with Interferenza fabric. Lightweight track seats or comfortable sport seats. Discreet navigation and CarPlay. Everything is possible. Everything is tailored to the owner. Even two different body kits supplied in a single flight case is an option.

AutoNext conclusion

Singer once again proves that it is not a tuner, but a curator of Porsche DNA. The 911 Carrera Cabriolet Reimagined by Singer may well be the ultimate open‑air G‑model 911 that Porsche itself never built. Naturally aspirated. Mechanical. Pure. And at the same time technologically refined.

Seventy five examples. No repeat. No compromise. And perhaps the most beautiful way to experience eight thousand rpm under an open sky.
