  • Singer Design Porsche 911 Classic

    Singer Vehicle Design has revealed 2011 Singer 911, based on pre-1994 911 models.

    The new “old” Porsche features many a lot of technologies such as electric AC, Spinneybeck leather interior, Sirius satellite radio, Garmin GPS, iPod connectivity and Bluetooth connectivity. This is just a brialliant idea, because many car fans love old cars.

    As a part of the restoration, Singer used carbon fiber body panels to recreate the classic 911. There are also a lot of improvement under the hood, where a mighty 3.8 liter naturally aspirated flat-six delivers 425HP at staggering 8000RPM and 345 lb-ft of torque.

    The suspension includes a Bilstein coilover kit and a big Brembo brake system.

    The interior is just refreshened – classic leather seats and an RSR steering wheel.

    We just love this car!
