Singer has been known for years as a brilliant Porsche coachbuilder, and their latest masterpiece, which is the Sotto creation, is one extra shining example of their skill. This marvelous project, being the 300th restoration by Singer, is a piece of true art.

It was the 1990 Porsche 911 Targa base version that started off the whole project; however, the result is a true masterpiece that evolves the retro style.

Splashed in an eye-catching Porsche Resistance Blue hue, the Sotto commission displays ghosted Porsche branding on the lower sides and is sure to sweep the audience off their feet, no matter which angle they are watching. Singer's handcrafted carbon fiber body once more demonstrates the company's obsession with perfection.

Under the hood, the 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six engine delivers 431 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque, which is more than enough for a thrilling ride. The Fuchs-style five-spoke wheels, massive carbon-ceramic brakes, and a race-tuned suspension provide superior handling and braking.

The details inside are equally impressive. The joyful and vibrant orange leather on the seats, door panels, and lower portion of the dashboard creates a colorful cockpit. The seats have also been equipped with woven centers and nickel grommets that add to the luxurious feel. On top of that, the tachometer has been matched to the interior, and this is a clear demonstration of Singer's attention to detail.

Under the hood lies the heart of the Sotto commission: the engine is the heart of any car, and Singer's 4.0-liter air-cooled flat-six engine is its heart. This beast is an unmatched performer, with 390 horsepower and redline revs of 9,000 rpm. It is a pure adrenaline rush and guarantees a thrilling drive every time. When combined with a titanium exhaust, the engine is not only superlatively audible but also provides an impressive driving experience.

The craftsmanship demonstrated by Singer is not limited to the driving performance of the vehicle; it is seen in every part of the vehicle. Singer, which was founded in 2009, has built a devoted community and produces its products in a cutting-edge facility in Torrance, California. In this manufacturing process, the artisans carefully make, paint, assemble, and construct each Singer model so that every detail can meet their high quality standards.
