The notion of making an updated version of the legendary Porsche Safari rally car seems to have occurred to everybody at once. And now, Porsche’s possible attempt has been seen testing at the Nurburgring.
Between the legally disputed Singer ACS, Marc Philipp Gemballa’s Project Sandbox, and this raised 911, the odes to the rally-ready Porsches are coming fast and loosely sprung.
This tester, seen sporting a bit more sidewall, taller suspension, and widened wheel arches has been seen before. What we’ve never seen before are the GT3 RS seats inside. As with previous versions, there’s a big difference between the width of the front and rear tires, which is interesting, as well.
The first customer example of Singer’s Porsche 911 DLS restomod has been completed and had its first shakedown at the hands of the company’s founder and chairman Rob Dickinson.
Dickinson was pretty happy after the first drive of the company’s latest creation, judging by the provided images and what he said once he climbed out of the rather gorgeous Oak Green Metallic Singer 911 which started life as a 1989 Porsche 964.
“What a fantastic experience! The towering team of talented heroes we managed to assemble for the Dynamics and Lightweighting Study has produced an astonishing result – the car is simply extraordinary,” said Dickinson.
