Singer has taken to its social media feeds to give us a look at its latest creation. Named the Big Sur, it’s every bit as elegant and refined as you’d expect from the famous Porsche tuners. Finished in Horizon Blue with Singer Racing Orange stripes, the combination plays as a nod to that great Porsche sponsor, Gulf Oil. The sponsor’s livery was seen on legendary race cars throughout the ’60s and ’70s and is perhaps best remembered on the Porsche 917k. That baby blue, meanwhile, is continued on the inside of the car along the transmission tunnel and the side sills.
Speaking of the interior, Singer reveals
that the buyer opted for four-way adjustable electric sports seats. They are
upholstered in Cognac-color woven leather with brass grommets and piano black
seatbacks. That leather finish spreads onto the rear seats and into the luggage
compartment, which benefits additionally from Alabaster stitching. The
dashboard, too, continues the woven leather theme, as do the door cards.
Under the hood, this model is fitted with
Singer’s 4.0-liter engine. It is a modified version of the 3.8-liter Cosworth
engine that Singer also offers. Developed by Ed Pink Racing, Singer calls it
the “ultimate incarnation of the normally aspirated flat-six.” In all, it makes
390 hp and 427 Nm of torque, all of which is
funneled to the rear wheels, through what appears to be a 5-speed manual
transmission, which is provided by Getrag. Together, they are capable of
getting Singer’s reimagined 911s up to 96 km/h in just 3.3 seconds and
up to 161 km/h in 8.2 seconds.
