The lucky few who’ve had the chance to drive any of Singer’s creations say the experience is truly unparalleled. If at first that doesn’t sound like much, you have to remember that a normal Porsche of this vintage is already quite light, and this one benefits from carbon fiber body panels.
Under the hood lies a Cosworth-built 3.8-liter flat-six, which sends around 370 hp (375 PS / 276 kW) to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. The process of reimagining is central to Singer’s philosophy. Since then, its focus has been the obsessive pursuit of the ultimate reimagined Porsche 911. The main allure of Singer’s vehicles is that they combine classic looks with modern mechanic parts, and this one more than delivers. Singer Vehicle Design was founded in 2009 to explore the creative possibilities within the vibrant world of the classic automobile.

It also has full suede trim on the floors, sills, and rear seat area which are complemented by brass seat grommets. Additionally, the wheels come with interchangeable “petals” in your choice of grey, black, or purple to accent the car however you like. Options on the Brooklyn Commission include the Öhlins suspension package, Singer Edition carbon fiber track seats, an integrated roll bar, and a harness bar with Schroth four-point harnesses. All the paintwork is original and has never had any work done, with the only exceptions being new side stripe decals and a touch-up of the purple wheel “petals”. And when they say interior, they mean all of it, as even the top of the engine bay is upholstered in purple quilted suede. The color scheme for this car is a Linden Green exterior with a purple Alcantara interior.

The process of creating it involved starting with an accident-free 964 Porsche 911, stripping it down to the monocoque and strengthening it, building it back up with carbon fiber body panels, then refinishing it to a bespoke spec. This car was Singer’s eighth build, and it was commissioned back in 2012. However, one of these opportunities has arisen, and its for their Brooklyn Commission 911. They produce very few cars, and all are by commission, so opportunities to buy these automotive works of art are far and few in between. Singer Vehicle Design has become one of, if not the biggest name in custom Porsche 911s to date.
