Starting with their “Classic” reimagining, their order books began to overflow from the influx of demand. But while many enjoyed their Singer Classic vehicles, many others asked, “What’s next?” Surely the design outfit in SoCal had something cooking, perhaps something more powerful, quicker, or maybe lighter? Rumors began circulating of a partnership with Singer Vehicle Design and Williams Advanced Engineering, known for their F1 relationship. In late 2017, a public reveal was made: the Singer DLS. This Singer DLS was specified with the following options: Chassis and Functional Left Hand Drive, Manual Front Axle Lift 4.0L engine Heated front windscreen, air conditioning, Focal audio system, instrumentation in miles in imperial (MPH) Full vehicle paint protection film External Paint to sample - Sport Classic Grey (Light Pearl) Side Stripes and lettering - To sample Decklid lettering - Raised, match to bright trim Lower trim and decklid insert - Visible carbon Bright trim - Nickel Polished Wheel lip - Nickel Tint Wheel Barrel - Painted white gold (matte) Wheel Center - RS nickel tint Corner light trim - Bright trim finish Decklid badge - Gold Mirrors - Painted exterior color Front trunk - Exterior color panels Engine bay - Exterior color panels Exhaust finisher - Graphite, polished tip Internal Interior color (leather) - To sample: Dark Navy, headliner in Navy Blue Alcantara Bright trim - Nickel polished Upper trim package - Leather - interior color Dashboard and bolster trim package - Leather - interior color Mid trim package - Leather - interior color Lower trim package - Painted exterior color Interior accent package (leather) - Leather - interior color Dashboard accent package - Visible carbon with leather stowage tray (accent package) Mid accent package - Painted exterior color Center tunnel accent package - Visible carbon Seat accent package - Visible carbon Seat centers - Special weave - Custom weave (Park City I) Seat grommets - Yes - Brightware match Seat piping - Tone-on-tone Seat belts - Black Interior Stitch - Tone-on-tone Recaro/Momo lettering - Black X-brace - Yes - Leather wrapped interior color Harnesses - Yes - Interior color/stitch Steering wheel - To sample - Navy Blue Alcantara Gauges - Tachometer - 18k gold Premium door brightware - Yes - Brightware match Door center panel - Singer embossed Shift knob - Visible carbon About the Singer DLS The DLS, Dynamics & Lightweighting Study, is the culmination of efforts between Singer and Williams Advanced Engineering. With the goal of producing the most advanced and stunning 911-based recommission, Singer sought out the engineering expertise of the UK-based engineering firm. The DLS had very important guidelines, both being an exceptional vehicle to drive but also to push the limits technologically while maintaining the Porsche lineage. The DLS was decided to be built in the U.K., due to the development work performed by Williams Advanced Engineering and testing required. With a limited production of 75 examples worldwide, it is one of the rarest Singers ever made. The centerpiece of the DLS is the all-new 4.0L air-cooled flat six engine producing 500 horsepower, with a world-first 4-valves per cylinder design for an air-cooled engine. Famous engine designer Hanz Metzger was consulted with the design of this new engine, with Williams Advanced Engineering leading the design process of the engine. Exceptional engineering was performed in order to accommodate the greatly-increased power of the new engine, with dual oil cooling circuits running to the front of the vehicle. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-optimized engine fan was designed for the maximum amount of air cooling the engine, with titanium internals helping achieve the 9,000rpm redline. Quick to rev, the lightweight engine sounds unlike anything you’ve heard before. The entire package of the DLS received the same attention to detail that you’d expect from a Singer vehicle. The entire body of the car is bespoke carbon fiber, modeled and refined in CFD to reduce lift with aerodynamics consulted with Norbert Singer, the creator of the Porsche 956. Suspension was engineered by Williams, with Brembo supplying the brake rotors and carbon ceramic brake discs. BBS created bespoke magnesium center-lock wheels that channel the original Fuchs spirit but with modern Michelin tires. Hewland made a custom lightweight magnesium 6-speed manual transmission, routing power to only the rear wheels. The exhaust is titanium, producing a bone-chilling exhaust note at 9,000rpm. The interior is a level above any other Singer vehicle. Purposely built, carbon fiber components are used extensively, including bespoke Recaro carbon bucket seats with any material a client could dream of, along with an exposed gear-shift linkage for the passenger to see while driving. The instrumentation is Singer’s way of showing jewelry while driving, the 11k tachometer front and center to remind you that the car is turned up to 11. When completed the Singer DLS examples, with their exotic use of carbon fiber, titanium, and magnesium, resulted in a vehicle with a curb weight of less than 2,200lbs. With 500 horsepower on tap, routed through its 6-speed manual transmission, the resulting driving experience is a raw but unmistakable Singer experience. Now available at Canepa, this one-of-one Singer DLS is ready to be driven. With its signature 500 horsepower 4.0L flat six, exquisite interior, Sport Classic Grey paint, and only 1,337 miles since completion, Singer’s labor of love is one to be enjoyed by turning it up to 11.
