A PORSCHE REIMAGINED

A 1991 Porsche 911 that has been reimagined by Singer Vehicle Design, dubbed the “Malibu,” has been listed by RM Sotheby’s for US$875,000. The custom 911 was restored in 2016 and is the 71st model to be reworked by Singer. It sports a fitting shade of “Mintarrini” over tan leather with “Alabaster” stitching, and sits atop Fuchs-style wheels in homage to the car’s heritage. Furthermore, it has only been driven 1,400 miles since its restoration, meaning its 4.0-liter flat-six Ed Pink Racingbuilt engine should be in perfect working order. This custom-made engine pumps out 390 BHP and is paired with a six-speed manual transmission that drives the rear wheels, sending the car from 0-60 MPH in 3.3 seconds. It will reach 100 MPH in 8.2 seconds, and is supported by 315 lb-ft of torque. Other bespoke additions include the Öhlins suspension and Recaro Sport seats, as well as Brembo brakes and a lightweight carbon-fibre roof. Singer has given the 911 a bespoke finish inside and out, meaning this iteration is like no other. The Porsche is finished with homage-paying touches including an exposed centre-fill fuel cap and oil filler, tapping the 911s of 1972. It comes complete with unique badging and a threespoke steering wheel.
