The Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer – Dynamics and Lightweighting Study (DLS) represents the pinnacle of air-cooled Porsche engineering. Among the limited seventy-five units built, the ‘Oppenheimer Commission’ stands out as one of the most spectacular, embodying unparalleled craftsmanship, performance, and exclusivity.
A Singular Masterpiece
With just one owner and an astonishingly low mileage of under 120 km, this particular DLS is as close to brand-new as one can get. Named after the Oppenheimer Blue diamond, the largest fancy vivid blue diamond ever auctioned, the car reflects the same rarity and prestige in the automotive world.
Performance Meets Perfection
At the heart of the DLS lies a 4.0-liter flat-six engine, developed in collaboration with Williams Advanced Engineering. This masterpiece delivers approximately 500 bhp, a breathtaking 9,000 rpm redline, and a six-speed manual transmission, setting the benchmark for air-cooled 911s. A reengineered suspension system, Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, and a refined aerodynamic package ensure an unrivaled driving experience.
Exquisite Design & Materials
Finished in Mercedes-Benz Brilliant Blue Metallic, the exterior seamlessly integrates navy-tinted visible carbon fiber elements. Polished titanium brightwork and magnesium wheels further accentuate the car’s dynamic aesthetic. Every detail has been meticulously crafted, from the smoked taillights—an $18,000 option—to the bare carbon Porsche lettering on the decklid.
Inside, luxury and innovation merge. Cream leather upholstery contrasts with Navy Blue Alcantara, harmonizing with the bespoke navy-tinted carbon fiber trim. Custom Recaro bucket seats feature a unique woven pattern with double-offset navy blue stripes, while a maple wood gearshift knob adds a classic touch.
The Pinnacle of the Air-Cooled 911
Beyond its breathtaking aesthetics and engineering prowess, the ‘Oppenheimer Commission’ exemplifies Singer’s commitment to perfection. From custom-fitted paint protection on the underbody to one-off interior details, no expense was spared in crafting this automotive masterpiece.
For collectors and enthusiasts alike, the opportunity to acquire the ‘Oppenheimer Commission’ is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own the most remarkable iteration of the air-cooled Porsche 911.
