Singer’s Latest 911 Allows You to Change Rear Ends Whenever You Want | Carscoops

      The Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe Reimagined by Singer honors the widebody Carrera Super Sport from the 1980s.

      Singer has transformed the rare 911 Carrera SSE with an updated 964 chassis, featuring pronounced carbon fenders and a powerful 4.0 flat-six engine producing 420 hp. Buyers have the option to choose between a fixed rear wing, a pop-up wing, or even both.

      Since its inception over 15 years ago, Singer has inspired numerous imitators, yet it continues to innovate and remain a step ahead of the competition. The latest release, the Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe Reimagined by Singer, takes cues from the company’s Classic Turbo variant, adding a Cosworth-tuned naturally aspirated flavor.

      This time, the inspiration is drawn not from the typical 1980s 911 Carrera, but from the rare Super Sport Equipment version, or Carrera SSE. The upgrade combined the standard 3.2-liter naturally aspirated engine with wider front and rear fenders, enhanced spoilers, and a brake and suspension setup taken from the 930, the original 911 Turbo.

      Each of the 100 units starts with a donor 964, from the generation succeeding the “impact bumper” G-series model, which the builds resemble. After stripping, the shell is restored and reinforced using techniques developed by Red Bull Advanced Technologies, then fitted with wider carbon fiber fenders.

      Rather than a twin-turbo flat-six engine, Singer incorporates a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated engine with water-cooled, four-valve heads and variable valve timing, located behind the rear axle. Developed in partnership with Cosworth, this engine produces 420 hp (or 426 hp) and revs to 8,000 rpm, paired with a six-speed manual transmission that drives the rear wheels.

      An optional raised, exposed shift mechanism similar to that of the DLS is available, along with various choices for buyers, including the option for pop-up, hood-mounted driving lights, and selecting either a large rear wing or a more subtle rear design.

      This decision mirrors what original SSE buyers faced, most of whom opted for the wing. However, if Singer customers are uncertain about whether to go for a fixed tail or the retractable version, they have the option to purchase two separate rear ends, allowing for personalization at any time.

      Singer’s announcement regarding the new Carrera build included two sets of images showcasing different configurations chosen by their commissioning customers. The blue car, optimized for road use, features the active wing and sports seats with velvet corduroy centers, while the orange variant is tailored for the track with a large spoiler, bucket seats, and a rear cross-brace.

      Pricing details remain unconfirmed, but it’s expected that the cost will make a 2025 Porsche 911 seem as affordable as a Mitsubishi Mirage.
