1990 911 Classic Turbo Study by Singer

The first Classic Turbo Commission offered at auction brings the bids

The Singer Classic Turbo represents a bold new chapter in the evolution of the reimagined 911. Building on the legacy of Singer’s original Classic services—where the air-cooled 964 chassis became the canvas for obsessive craftsmanship—the Classic Turbo pays homage to the legendary 930 Turbo while pushing the boundaries of design, engineering, and execution. Launched in 2022 after years of meticulous development, each build remains rooted in the 964 but incorporates modern materials, bespoke components, and subtle nods to the original Turbo’s unmistakable character. From functional bumper bellows to the specially formulated Whale Tail finish, every detail is carefully considered, echoing Singer’s unwavering commitment to the mantra: "everything is important."

This 1990 911 Turbo has been Reimagined by Singer and is the first Classic Turbo Study to be offered at auction. Known as “The Sun Valley Commission,” it was featured in the Classic Turbo introductory video driven by Chris Harris. Finished in a bespoke Dirty Oak Green Metallic, it features an interior trimmed in Ivory leather with woven Olive accents, Olive carpets, a matching dash roll, and Black wood detailing. Underneath, it’s equipped with Singer’s sport suspension system and Ivory-finished Brembo calipers, and showed only 267 miles on the odometer.

As this is the first Classic Turbo Study, there are no comps. Also unknown is how much it costs to commission an example of your own, but I’d imagine that price to be approaching the $1m mark as you check off option boxes. However, we do know that the car was estimated between $1.75m and $2.25m pre-auction, which was a bit of a stretch in my eyes, but not much, as it sold for $1,680,000 inclusive of buyer’s premium.
