In the rarefied world of high-end automotive restoration, Singer Vehicle Design occupies a singular position — where engineering reverence meets obsessive reinvention.
With the Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet Reimagined by Singer, the California atelier extends its philosophy into open-air territory, reinterpreting the Type 964 Cabriolet through a lens of modern performance, analog tactility, and bespoke craftsmanship.
This is not simply a restored convertible.
It is a recalibration of what an open-top 911 can be.
A New Chapter for Open-Top Reimagination
While Singer’s coupe restorations have achieved near-mythical status among collectors, the Cabriolet introduces new engineering challenges — structural rigidity, weight distribution, and acoustic balance chief among them.
Rather than compromise, Singer approached the Cabriolet as a ground-up reengineering program, reinforcing the chassis to preserve torsional stiffness while maintaining the elegance of open-air driving.
The result is a convertible that feels as structurally composed as its fixed-roof counterparts.
Cosworth-Developed Flat-Six — Naturally Aspirated Purity
At the heart of the restoration lies a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine developed in collaboration with Cosworth.
Engineered for both performance and emotional response, the powerplant delivers approximately 420 horsepower — channeled exclusively through a six-speed manual gearbox.
Key characteristics include:
- High-revving throttle response
- Air-cooled heritage architecture
- Modern internal engineering tolerances
- Bespoke calibration for Cabriolet dynamics
It is an engine designed not for numbers, but for sensation.
Singer DLS Turbo: The Pinnacle of Porsche Restomod Engineering
Lightweight Engineering, Rebalanced
Singer integrates extensive lightweighting measures throughout the vehicle:
- Carbon fiber body panels
- Reengineered suspension geometry
- Modern braking systems
- Optimized weight distribution
Even with the structural reinforcements required for a convertible platform, the Cabriolet maintains exceptional dynamic balance — reinforcing Singer’s reputation for engineering precision.
Interior — Tailored Analog Luxury
Inside, the cabin reflects Singer’s hallmark design language — a fusion of heritage Porsche architecture and contemporary material execution.
Highlights include:
- Hand-stitched leather upholstery
- Bespoke analog instrumentation
- Machined metal switchgear
- Custom seat design
- Tailored trim combinations per client commission
Every Cabriolet is built to order, allowing owners to curate color palettes, finishes, and tactile elements to personal taste.
Limited Production — Commission Only
The Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet Reimagined by Singer is strictly limited to 75 client commissions worldwide.
Each build begins with a donor 964 chassis, which is then fully disassembled, reengineered, and reborn through Singer’s meticulous restoration process.
No two cars are identical — reinforcing exclusivity through personalization.
Open-Air Driving, Reinterpreted
Where many convertibles sacrifice focus for leisure, Singer’s Cabriolet preserves driver engagement.
The absence of a fixed roof enhances sensory immersion:
- Mechanical soundtrack amplified
- Wind interaction heightened
- Analog tactility intensified
It transforms the driving experience from observation to participation.
When Heritage Meets Horizon
The Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet Reimagined by Singer expands the atelier’s philosophy into a new experiential dimension.
It retains everything collectors revere about Singer — craftsmanship, analog engineering, bespoke execution — while adding the emotional freedom of open-air motoring.
It is less a convertible 911…
…and more an analog sculpture designed to be driven beneath the sky.
