The mythical and legendary Porsche 911 created in 1963 by one of the four sons of "Ferry" Porsche, Ferdinand Alexander, better known as "Butzi" as a substitute for "Porsche No. 1" the model "356" created by his father in February 1948 to the present day has seen "hundreds" of changes, but always maintaining that typical taste "Porsche" as distinctive and desired by everyone in the world.
There are fans of the brand touting the 911 lost part of his identity when he left the air-cooled engine, within that group are two favorite models, the 2.7 RS "ducktail" of the '70s, for its lightness and 993, the last air-cooled, for its perfection.
Thus for all the "purists" lovers of the classic 911, Singer California firm presents a prototype of what a 911 could have been, is a compendium of the 911 extreme classic updated with the latest technology and sparing no course in costs.
But Singer is not intended to build a new car "from nothing", but suggests customers to use a 911 "second hand" prior to 1989 as a donor vehicle, disassemble it and redo the whole with the best components disponibles.La first advantage arises is that it keeps the chassis number, registration and does not need a current approval.
From a technical perspective the first thing to do is reinforce the chassis, for that is added to a "second skin" of carbon fiber and a tubular structure ... remember that the cost is no problem.
This increases the rigidity of the body, essential to support the increased power and improved adherence, with an additional advantage which is to improve security in an eventual crash.
The engine comes in 993, but also completely actualizado.La displacement is increased to 3.82 liters (up from the original 3.6) and through a series of improvements is capable of reaching the 8,000 rpm and deliver 425 hp version "Sport" and what is more important, preserving the typical "roar" of the air-cooled Porsche ... I goose bumps at the thought.
They have even been careful to preserve the aesthetics of the engine, mimicking the image of power injection and intake trumpets the 2.7 RS.
Something similar happens with the wheels and tires, which offer the current grip the classic appearance of the wheels "Fuchs" (see photo gallery).
Curiously brakes are based on the 911 Turbo of the '80s.
With all these elements, together with the lightness of the whole, his performance is stunning, reaching up to 275 km / h! ... And achieving less than 4 seconds to reach 100 km / h.
Turning to the body, continues with the "leitmotiv" of functionality of the 993, but reminding the aesthetically improved and 2.7 in its many versions.
Its color is the typical "orange" bright-'70s, though it could have been white, while the aerodynamic category incorporates the retractable rear spoiler own modern versions.
Lighthouses are as tradition dictates, round, but with bi-xenon lamps.
The interior mimics the austerity of the old model but, again, offering advanced features such as the browser, connectivity "bluetooth" or the connection to the i-Pod.
Preppy is the reinterpretation of the seats "Recaro" and the wheel "Momo" three-spoke perforated metal, or 70s, as I said before ... the best good.
In short, with the Porsche 911 by Singer, the lucky customer can boast of a car with an aesthetic of the '70s, '80s documentation, mechanics and spirit of the '90s, but made and updated in the XXI Century, ultimately it is a car for those who will not compromise.
