It’s been four long years since the Porsche restomodding experts at Singer revealed the stunning results of its Dynamics and Lightweighting Study (DLS), produced in collaboration with Williams Advanced Engineering.

The comprehensively overhauled 911 – which started life as a 1989 964 – is finished in the gorgeous Oak Green Metallic, a historic Porsche colour. The car is one of only 75 that will be built at Singer’s new United Kingdom headquarters in Bicester Heritage as well as at the UK facility of engineering firm Multimatic.

Ray who? Raybestos Powertrain is the company that helped Extreme Turbo Systems break into the 9-second range with 1,021 horsepower on tap, which is a lot by all accounts. Tremec says the eight-speed DCT can take up to 590 pound-feet (800 Nm) completely stock, which is why you need aftermarket friction clutches to harness this level of suck-squee
