Porsche 911 Singer DLS, White & Blue

Rob Dickinson, once the frontman of the English rock band Catherine Wheel, founded Singer Vehicle Design in Los Angeles in 2009 to restore and rework Porsche 911s, starting from owners' 964-generation cars. The Dynamics and Lightweighting Study, introduced in 2018, took that work a long step further. Developed with Williams Advanced Engineering, it has a body made entirely of carbon fibre, with wings widened over the wheels, a chassis and suspension retuned throughout, and an air-cooled flat-six built in partnership with Hans Mezger. At a glance it still reads as the 911 everyone knows: round headlamps, a long, low bonnet and a ducktail over the engine.

This piece is gloss white with a broad blue stripe from the nose over the roof and down the tail, and twin blue stripes along the sills carrying the PORSCHE script. The five-spoke wheels have polished rims. Through the glass the cabin is bright blue, from the bucket seats to the door cards and the band across the dashboard, set against a carbon centre tunnel and a black three-spoke wheel. The engine lid opens on a carbon-lined bay, where a Williams Advanced Engineering plate sits on the carbon intake above the cooling fan. It stands on a black leather base with white stitching, its plaque reading Limited Edition, one of 25. IVY builds it in resin at 1:12.
