How would such a restomod car look and how would it perform?
When Porsche owner Scott Blattner asked renowned restorers Singer what was possible in the restomod of his 964. The result was a comprehensive study and collaboration with Williams Advanced Engineering.

The guys at Singer have always been receptive to the question “What if?”,’ said Scott Blattner. So, the question became… what if Singer worked on restoring and modifying my beloved 27-year old Porsche 964, with the assistance of an engineering concern born from the world of F1.
The result is perhaps more extensive than Scott might have imagined!
Leading to a new selection of restomod, known as DLS , collaboratively developed by Singer, Williams Advanced Engineering and a collection of specialists such as Michelin, Brembo, and BBS Motorsport.Porsche legends Norbert Singer and Hans Mezger also joined in as consultants. He brings years of knowledge in aerodynamics and engine development.Racing driver Marino Franchitti together with journalist Chris Harris have also been drafted in as development drivers. They are working in collaboration with Williams Advanced Engineering’s vehicle development team.

- Underbody and surface aero performance optimised through CFD analysis, by Williams Advanced Engineering, with consultation by Norbert Singer.
- Improved suspension philosophy including weight reduction, enhanced geometry and improved adjustability.
- Further weight reduction methods and use of magnesium, titanium, carbon fibre and other advanced materials contributing to a minimum vehicle weight of 990kg.












The Dynamics and Lightweighting Study:
Presented to Singer’s current client base and the first commissions that have already been taken will start soon, though prices have not been disclosed. They vary according to specification of course. But bear in mind that even a non-DLS 911 restored and modified by Singer tends to cost around $650,000.The restomod of these cars – just 75 of them – will take place in the UK at a dedicated Singer facility housed on the Williams campus at Grove in Oxfordshire, already named as ’Singer at Grove’.
