Widely known for its bespoke works on Porsche 911s, American company Singer Vehicle Design has showcased its first turbocharged Porsche 930 Turbo Study.
The 930 Turbo Study is a response to requests from owners for restoration services that incorporate turbocharging and the reimagined Porsche 930 is based on the 964-generation 911 while it garners its styling inspiration from the 930 Turbo model.
Like most of Singer’s restoration services, the Turbo Study makes use of a new evolution of the ‘Megzer’ air-cooled flat-six engine now in its 3.8-litre format. The powertrain consists of twin-turbochargers with an electric wastegate and bespoke air to water intercoolers mounted inside the intake plenums.
A ‘shark fin’ mounted at the rear has been reimagined as an intake and supplies cold air to the engine bay thus optimising combustion and cooling performance.
According to Singer, the 930 Singer Turbo Study makes 335 kW of power and 550 Nm but that can be tailored as per the owner’s specifications. It can be had either in rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive configurations plus a 6-speed manual gearbox.
The 930 Singer Turbo Study tips the scales at 1,270 kg, thanks to a bespoke carbon fibre body that aims to reduce weight and enhance stiffness for better handling prowess. For better stopping power, the 930 can be fitted with a carbon-ceramic braking system if desired by the owner.
Inside, it is equipped with heated and electronically-adjustable seats with cruise control also making an appearance.
The Turbo Study will be on display at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK from 23-26 June 2022 and will then travel to the Monterey Penisula in Northern California for Car Week in August 2022.
Prices for restorations enabled by the Turbo Study are dependent on the specification requested by the car’s owner.
