Over the years, we’ve learned that Singer doesn’t skimp when it comes to restoring and reimagining the Porsche 911. The air-cooled 964 is already a coveted generation within the 911 family; Singer’s latest project fuses that with the racing legacy of the Porsche 934/5 race car of the 1970s. The result is called the Dynamics & Lightweighting Study (DLS) – Turbo. We simply call it incredible.
Before perusing the details of this new Singer masterpiece, we need to take a short trip back to the 1970s. Porsche was racing with its new 911 Turbo, taking the form of the 934 and 935 for FIA competition. In 1977, a hybrid of these two racing 911s called the 934/5 was created for IMSA. It was so badass that IMSA banned it pretty much immediately, so Porsche stepped over to SCCA competition and the 934/5 won almost every race it entered. It also got Porsche the 1977 SCCA Trans Am championship.
The cars evoke the 934/5’s bold styling. New carbon fiber bodywork includes the wide fenders, big rear intakes, NACA ducts, and the big spoiler which is adjustable for legit track use. A massive splitter further enhances aero bite for track use, and Singer actually refers to this configuration as the track-focused version. It’s the orange 911 featured here in the photos, and it clearly draws inspiration from the 935 portion of the 934/5.
For customers seeking something a bit less aggressive, Singer offers a road-focused version (shown below in gold, or specifically, Moet Blanc) that nixes the adjustable wing for a classic ducktail spoiler at the back, and a relaxed splitter at the front. And for those who cannot decide which version to choose, Singer will build a single 964 that can accommodate both styles. Drive the ducktail through the week, swap over the adjustable wing and big splitter, and party hard on the weekend.
