Recently completed by Singer, this Turbo Study—dubbed ‘The East Hampton Commission’ by the consignor who commissioned the car—is a truly stunning example of one of Singer’s most anticipated creations. Having been driven just under 500 miles from new, the car presents in exceptional condition throughout, ready to be enjoyed by its fortunate new custodian.
Looking to continue their tried-and-true design ethos following the conclusion of Classic Study production, Singer Vehicle Design’s Classic Turbo was introduced in 2022 to answer the question, “How might the DNA of Porsche’s first ‘Supercar’ evolve for the modern era?”
Like the Classic Study, the Classic Turbo is based upon the 964-generation 911 utilizing the 3.8-liter Mezger air-cooled flat six-cylinder engine, fitted with twin turbochargers to produce either 450 or 500 brake horsepower depending on customer specification, and mated to a six-speed manual transmission. As one would expect, the car’s bespoke bodywork is crafted from carbon fiber, keeping the iconic silhouette of the 930-generation 911 Turbo but optimizing the bodywork for enhanced airflow and downforce. Furthermore, the Classic Turbo is fitted with brakes specific to the Classic Turbo model, as well as ABS and traction control.
In the case of The East Hampton Commission, it boasts the classic Turbo body shape with a whale tail spoiler and sunroof. The car is fitted with steel Brembo brakes, and the Fuchs-style wheels are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. Mechanically, the engine produces 500 brake horsepower and the car is fitted with adjustable suspension, nose lift, titanium muffler, and six-speed manual transmission.
The East Hampton Commission’s color scheme is perfectly suited to the character of the Classic Turbo and is what makes the car come alive. The paintwork is a paint-to-sample color called Black Eye Darker and is protected by Singer-fitted paint protection film on the lower rocker panels and rear fender fins. Exterior accents and mirror arms are finished in satin carbon as to not detract from the paintwork, alongside all the brightwork finished in satin black. The brake calipers and the trademark center fuel filler cap are painted to match the bodywork. Finally, the car is outfitted with a heated rear windscreen and standard equipment titanium muffler, the Singer rear decklid script is forged in solid brass, and the bumperettes were deleted.
Open the door and one is met by a sumptuous Bone (light beige) leather interior. Brightwork inside the car is satin bronze, alongside black wood décor trim and the floating gauges in rose gold. The headlining is trimmed in perforated ivory Alcantara alongside carpentry in ivory velour to match. Outfitted with Singer’s premium audio system, the interior also boasts an inductive phone charger. Importantly, the car is accompanied by a Singer Flytrack Chronograph engraved with a matching serial number to the car, which will be included in the sale.
Offered today via RM Sotheby’s in partnership with Singer Vehicle Design on behalf of the commissioning owner, The East Hampton Commission has only been driven 400 miles since the completion of Singer’s reimagining. Importantly, this car benefits from the balance of its Singer Vehicle Design warranty and the new owner will benefit from the option of hangover at Singers, Torrance, California, headquarters. This is a breathtaking example of one of Singer’s most anticipated creations, ready to drive and enjoy.
