Singer Sliced the Roof Off Its 930 Turbo Tribute and Made It Even Better

Back in February, Singer Vehicle Design unveiled the Turbo Study — a 964-generation Porsche 911 done up in the style of a 930 Turbo, . It was the California-based company’s first creation with forced induction and it looked perfect, as all Singer projects do. Also like all Singer projects, “affordable” was not a word most people would use to describe it.

However, if your financial situation permits you to budget not only a Porsche, but a reimagined Porsche, you will soon get to choose whether you’d prefer your Turbo to have a roof or not. Singer has just revealed the first images of a cabriolet version. While there is nothing strictly different about this Turbo compared to the first one we saw six months ago — aside from the deal with the roof, of course — it is a new Singer, and so I’m naturally inclined to share images of it. It’s a good thing you can never have too much of!

Here it is with the soft top down:

...and with it up:

As you can likely tell even from the exterior images, Singer has opted for a distinctive visual for the interior upholstery. It’s not quite the signature GTI plaid, but it’s close, and it employs all the same colors. After once upon a time, I’m fairly certain plaid seats make every car better.

Peek that little mounting point for a smartphone right ahead of the shifter, by the way. I imagine there’s a magnet or something behind the surface to keep your device securely situated. That’s a good idea, and provides this 964 with a semblance of modernity without ruining its original design with a big honking touchscreen. The Turbo Study was intended to be a more comfortable Singer built for cruising, after all.

Singer tends to reveal all its newest projects in computer-generated form, a normally frustrating practice plenty of automakers engage in. I don’t even really care in this case, though, because the company’s renders always look delectable. Maybe better than real life! That’s fortunate, because you’re probably never seeing one in the flesh.

Here Are A Bunch Of Happy Italians Testing Early Bugatti EB110 Prototypes In The Snow
The Bugatti EB110 is as close as you’re ever going to get to an “unloved Bugatti.” Now it’s beloved, of course, for its quad-turbo V12 that gulped fuel through 12 individual throttle bodies, and its all-wheel-drive and its cheese-wedge styling. But back when it first debuted in 1991, there was...

The Buttertones — 'Tequila Mockingbird'
Traffic sucks, so why not start your morning off with some music? You provide the toast and we’ll provide the jams. I’d never read To Kill a Mockingbird, which for some reason truly disturbed my husband. He’d bring this up every time I started a new book (which is frequently)....

We get it. For you, the owner, every day follows a set schedule. You wake up, you remember you own the most absurd car from 2005, and then you prance around in it, getting and laughing because you can, in fact, afford the impracticality of such a car. But...
