This, ladies and gentlemen, is the DLS Turbo – Singer Vehicle Design’s most visually extreme restoration yet of Porsche’s venerable 911. Once again based on the 964-generation 911, this DLS Turbo is a throwback to the dynamic days of the 934 and 935 endurance racers, their big wings and bulging bodywork the result of Porsche engineer Norbert Singer’s clever interpretation of the FIA rule book.
A captivating era of sports car racing for many, this heyday of group 4 and group 5 racing clearly had an impact on Singer’s founder, Rob Dickinson: “I was 12 when my father’s friend showed us his Super 8 film of the 1977 Watkins Glen Six Hours. As the familiar face of a Porsche 911 morphed into impossibly boxed hips, gaping intakes and a giant double-planed rear wing, I can still remember the shock and the realisation that this was the other life of the 911 – the racing car. Since Singer began, I’ve wanted to return to that moment, collaborate with our clients and celebrate that car: the 934/5.”
Promising 700hp and over 9,000rpm, the DLS Turbo looks set to feature performance as bonkers as its looks. Of course, this isn’t Singer’s first foray into utilising turbocharging technology on its 911 restorations – that happened 18 short months ago with the announcement of its Turbo Study, which received updated 930-esque looks while still being based on the 964 platform.
