by Only 75 units will be built with a carbon fiber body.
Official premiere from Singer
Singer has officially unveiled the Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet, expanding its modern tribute to the air-cooled era with an open-top version of last year’s coupe. Inspired by the wide-body 911s of the 1980s, this latest work combines retro elements with modern engineering solutions that reward a closer look.
Impressive Design
Starting with the exterior, Singer showcased two different works: the Pacific Blue Touring specification and the Guards Red Sport specification. In both cases, the body is made of carbon fiber composite, with widened fenders and retractable auxiliary headlights in the hood, a nod to the racing cars of that era.
The red 911 features a more aggressive front bumper with large air intakes and a deeper splitter, paired with a fixed “whale tail” rear wing. In contrast, the blue Porsche is executed in a more restrained style, with an active rear spoiler, a touring-style splitter, and 18-inch center-lock alloy wheels in white.
Luxurious Interior
Inside, one model combines Ink leather upholstery for lightweight sports seats with red accents, while the other has sports seats upholstered in Tangerine leather. Both examples feature stitched and burnt leather seams.
In typical Singer fashion, the 911 Carrera Cabriolet receives handcrafted instruments, new trim panels, and a reworked three-spoke steering wheel that feels true to the era but is not a prisoner to it. Modern climate control, navigation, and Apple CarPlay complete the interior updates.
The complex mechanism for opening the lightweight roof, designed to preserve the sleek profile both raised and folded, is noteworthy. Even at rest, the silhouette remains meticulously considered, avoiding the bulkiness that often compromises open-top 911s.
Atmospheric Heart
At the heart of the car lies a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine developed by Cosworth. It produces 420 hp and 450 Nm of torque, matching the coupe version’s figures. The engine revs beyond 8000 rpm and features variable valve timing, liquid-cooled cylinder heads, air-cooled cylinders, and an electric fan.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox, available with an open-gate mechanism for those who appreciate seeing the “metal” at work. A titanium exhaust system with dual tips provides an appropriate soundtrack.
Reinforced Chassis and Modern Suspension
The car is built around the original Type 964 monocoque chassis, reinforced during the restoration process with composite and steel elements. The result is increased torsional rigidity, improving both handling and comfort.
The dynamic package includes four-mode electronically controlled adjustable dampers and a front lift system. Buyers also have the option of carbon-ceramic brakes and grippy Michelin Pilot Sport tires. Furthermore, there are five management modes for tuning traction and stability control.
Singer will limit this service offering to 75 examples worldwide. The price remains undisclosed and varies according to each customer’s specification, although the presented examples are almost certainly in the seven-figure range.
This project clearly demonstrates how a classic can be reimagined without losing its soul. The focus on details, from the roof-folding mechanism to the handcrafted interior finish, underscores the brand’s philosophy where each car is a unique work of art. The limited series of just 75 convertibles makes each one not just a car, but a collectible asset that combines nostalgia for Porsche’s golden era with the perfection of modern technology. This fusion of history and innovation remains a key direction for companies specializing in restoration and modification, pointing to sustained demand among enthusiasts for high-quality, personalized projects.
