Built to demolish off-road stages, the Singer ACS is a 2021 interpretation of the legendary 911 rally cars that Porsche built in the 1980s. Watch as Tuthill Porsche shows what it can do.

What is the Singer ACS all about?

The Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer All-terrain Competition Study (ACS) was undertaken by Singer, in partnership with Richard Tuthill. The idea actually came as a result of a request from a Singer client for a modified air-cooled Porsche 911 that could compete in off-road racing.

The client didn’t just request one, though, no, he requested two. The first of which is featured here in Parallax white, and focuses on high-speed desert rallying. The second is finished in Corsica Red and is built for high-speed, high-grip tarmac stages.

Modifications developed for the Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer All-terrain Competition Study include:

  • Off-road competition capability, conceived with events such as the Baja 1000 and Dakar Rally in mind, but suitable for a range of surfaces
  • Dramatically increased ride height, suspension travel and overall strength
  • Carbon fibre body panels suited to quick replacement and easy underbody access
  • Permanent AWD
  • A twin-turbocharged, 3.6L, air-cooled flat-six with power starting at 450hp
  • Sequential racing transmission with front, centre and rear limited-slip differentials
