Singer DLS Turbo
Beflügelt
Es ist ganz sanft unübersichtlich geworden in unserer «Sammlung» der Singer-911-Porsche. Und deshalb zersägen wir das gute Stück jetzt, schneiden bald mal die Classic Turbo und die DLS raus, aber hier zuerst einmal die DLS Turbo. Die kamen zuletzt, Mitte 2023, basieren auf dem grandiosen DLS (mehr Details: hier), wollen ausschauen wie der famose 934/5, haben im Heck aber ein ganz nettes Maschinchen, 3,8-Liter-Boxer mit Doppelturboaufladung, vier Ventilen pro Zylinder, elektrischen Wastegates, Luft-Wasser-Ladeluftkühlung und einem horizontal montierten, elektrisch angetriebenen Lüfter. Das gibt dann 700 PS bei 9000/min. Und weil ja der DLS (Dynamics and Lightweighting Study) ging wie geschnitten Brot, aber halt auf nur 75 Exemplare beschränkt war, wagt sich Singer jetzt etwas weiter aus dem Fenster, 99 Stück und viel, viel teurer.

«Firefly Commission», Chassis-Nummer: WP0ZZZ96ZLS404248 (1991)
Motoren-Nummer: 62L08211
Steht zum Verkauf bei RM Sotheby’s, Private Sales (September 2026), Price upon request, mit diesen Angaben: «Utilizing bespoke, paint-to-sample colour choices of Solid Tangerine paintwork and Orange leather-to-sample trim, the Firefly Commission’s specification is just as striking as the twin-turbocharged performance. Accompanied by both the track and road focused bodywork configuration, the car’s lightweight, carbon fiber bodywork is thoroughly protected by full exterior paint protection film. All brightwork, both inside and out, is done in a black anodized matte finish, leaving nothing to distract from the car’s sensational colour scheme. The Firefly Commission was delivered to the current owner in the U.K. and it has remained with him ever since, seeing occasional use out and about in London and the south of England having been driven 1,294 miles since completion by Singer in November 2025. Prior to the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed, where Singer was celebrated as the central feature of the event, Firefly was selected by both Rob Dickinson (founder & Creative Director of Singer) and the Duke of Richmond to be a central part of the Singer Vehicle Design display. Not only was the car kept on display throughout the weekend, but it was driven at speed up the famous hillclimb by Singer’s Chief Test Driver Marino Franchitti.»

«Sepang», Chassis-Nummer: WP0ZZZ96ZLS404560 (1990)
Auktion: RM Sotheby’s, The Singer Drop (2026), mit diesen Angaben: «Offered here is “The Sepang Commission”; one of just 99 DLS Turbo restorations. Its first owner, a collector who has commissioned multiple restorations with Singer, spared no expense in the pursuit of a car that epitomizes Singer’s motto of ‘Everything is Important’. Finished in paint to sample Wolf Blue, The Sepang Commission features numerous visible carbon fibre options tinted dark blue to complement the Wolf Blue paintwork. The car’s champagne anodized polished brightwork offers a touch of contrast and this finish is continued on the turbofan magnesium wheels, while the rear decklid badging is specified in solid brass. Inside, The Sepang Commission is trimmed in Bone leather with further champagne anodized and polished brightwork with dark blue-tinted gloss carbon throughout to unify the car’s overall appearance. Touring seats are specified with Bone Alcantara perforated seat centres, seat backs trimmed in soft Bone leather, and ‘DLST’ embossed in the headrests. The outer section of the steering wheel is trimmed in Alcantara to match the bodywork with the inner steering wheel trimmed in bone leather. The Sepang Commission has been outfitted with both the track- and road-focused rear decklid and front fascias, as well as an additional set of clear lens corner lights, allowing its new owner the freedom of choice to configure their new acquisition as required. The Sepang Commission is presented fresh from restoration, with break-in mileage conducted by Singer Vehicle Design before delivery.»
