New Singer ACC is a reimagined Safari 911

Porsche retromod specialist, Singer Vehicle Design, has revealed the Singer ACC – an extreme competition-ready version of the Porsche 911 that's inspired by the original Safari 959 of 911 (953) rally car.

Based on the original Porsche 964 that was sold between 1989 and 1994, the Singer ACC (All-Terrain Competition Study) was created in collaboration with British 911 rally specialist Richard Tuthill.

Just two cars have so far been made and both are destined for the same Singer customer.

The first is painted in Parallax White and has been created for high-speed desert racing, like the Dakar Rally or the Baja 1000 endurance rally raid.

The second, painted in Corsica Red, is made for higher-grip tarmac rally racing.

Meeting full competition regulations, both vehicles feature full roll cages, a stiffened body and chassis, a high-lift suspension kit, motorsport-inspired springs and dampers and permanent all-wheel drive.

Under the rear boot lid of a body that shares almost nothing with the 1990s 911, there's a twin-turbocharged 3.6-litre flat six-cylinder engine that produces around 335kW and is transferred to all four wheels via a five-speed manual transmission.

Boosting traction further on loose surfaces, the Singer ACC features a front, centre and rear limited-slip differential.

There's no word on performance, but the ACC should be ultra-lightweight as the entire body is fashioned from carbon-fibre.

That said, adding weight back into the equation is a long-range fuel tank, two full-size spare wheels, a hydration system for driver and passenger and FIA-certified safety equipment, plus a GPS navigation system.

It's not known how much was paid for each of the Singer ACCs, but the LA-based 911 retromod specialist says it will recreate its reimagined Safari 911 for other customers.
