Renowned for crafting some of the most aesthetically pleasing modified Porsches globally, Singer's creations are a rare sight on the streets, despite their allure. Their latest unveiling, the Sotto commission, marks a significant milestone as the 300th restoration by the company, captivating enthusiasts with its allure.
Originally a 1990 Porsche 911 Targa, this masterpiece underwent Singer's signature transformation, exuding a timeless retro charm akin to its predecessors. As reported by Motor1, Adorned in Resistance Blue paint, complemented by a subtle yet striking ghosted stripe bearing the iconic "Porsche" branding, it boasts a dark blue removable roof panel. The Fuchs-style five-spoke wheels showcase the imposing carbon-ceramic brakes, adding to its allure.
The interior of this vehicle features lively Orange leather adorning the seats, door panels, and lower section of the dashboard, a choice made by the purchaser. Notably, the tachometer also mirrors this vibrant hue. Additionally, the seats are embellished with woven centers and nickel grommets, adding a distinctive touch of elegance.

With a workforce spanning 600 individuals across the United States and the United Kingdom, Singer continues to redefine automotive excellence through its meticulous craftsmanship.
