New Singer Sorcerer Is A Restomod That Turns The 911 Into “Pure Wild Mechanical Ecstasy”
Singer Vehicle Design has once again captured the attention of the automotive world with its latest creation known as the Sorcerer. This extraordinary machine represents the debut customer commission from the company’s new DLS Turbo services division. The project begins with a 964-generation Porsche 911 chassis and transforms it into a high-performance beast that pays homage to the endurance racers of the late seventies. The California-based company has become famous for its meticulous restorations and this vehicle pushes their engineering capabilities to new heights. It combines a stunning aesthetic with raw power that promises an unforgettable driving experience for its lucky owner.
At the heart of this mechanical masterpiece lies a uniquely developed engine that sets it apart from previous Singer restorations. The powertrain features a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engine that has been engineered to produce over 700 horsepower. This immense power is managed through a six-speed manual transmission that sends all that energy directly to the rear wheels. The engine utilizes water-cooled cylinder heads and an electrically powered fan to handle the heat generated by such high output. A standout feature is the redline which soars all the way to 9000 rpm and ensures the car screams like a true race car.
The exterior design of the Sorcerer is heavily influenced by the aggressive styling of the Porsche 934.5 endurance racer. The bodywork is crafted entirely from lightweight carbon fiber to reduce mass and increase structural rigidity. A graduated paint scheme in Fantasia Blue coats the wide fenders and the track-focused front fascia. The rear of the vehicle is dominated by a massive adjustable wing that provides necessary downforce for track driving. Champagne-finished magnesium center-lock wheels complete the look and hide the powerful carbon ceramic brakes nestled within.
Inside the cabin the attention to detail remains as high as one would expect from a vehicle of this caliber. The interior is trimmed in bespoke Pebble Grey leather with Pearl Grey Alcantara centers on the lightweight seats. Champagne piping and bright trim accents provide a luxurious contrast to the exposed satin carbon fiber of the floor and sills. This blend of luxury materials and race-ready stripped surfaces creates an environment that is both comfortable and purposeful. Every touchpoint has been considered to ensure the driver feels completely connected to the machine.
The development of this vehicle took place at Singer’s facility in the United Kingdom rather than their usual California headquarters. This location allowed the team to utilize the grueling Millbrook Test Facility for chassis tuning and dynamic validation. The restoration includes modern safety systems such as traction control and electronic stability control developed in partnership with Bosch. These systems ensure that the prodigious power remains manageable without diluting the raw engagement of the drive. The result is a vehicle that balances vintage character with modern hypercar performance.
If you had the opportunity to commission your own restomod from Singer would you choose a track monster like this or a classic road car?
