California-based Signer Vehicle Design has been building resto-mod Porsches for over a decade

Singer chose the Porsche 964 as the base car for all its projects as it perfectly bridges the classic and modern traits of air-cooled 911s

Singer's first car is an epic remake of the original Porsche 911, from 1964

Singer's obsession with making the perfect classic 911 has resulted in the most exquisite automotive art. So far, Singer has produced 4 models in limited quantities

All Singer cars' powertrain are based on Mezger's last air-cooled engine

The Singer DLS - "Dynamic Lightweight Study" builds upon Singer's first model - the Classic.

The engine in the Singer DLS is an upgraded variant of the Singer Classic's 3.8-liter, air-cooled flat six

The naturally-aspirated boxer engine in the Singer DLS makes 503 hp instead of the Singer Classic's 350, making it the most powerful air-cooled Singer

At just 2,180 lbs, the 503-hp Singer DLS boasts a better power-to-weight ratio than a Bugatti Veyron

Singer's third car is a remake to the original 930 Turbo, which was dubbed the Widowmaker

The 3.8-liter flat-six is still air-cooled, but now features twin-turbochargers

Singer Turbo features electric wastegates to reduce turbo lag, which was a known feature on the original 930

Singer made two variants of the Turbo - one with 450 hp and a sportier,510-hp variant

Singer's most radical model aims to reimagine the 934/935 Porsche race car from the 1970s

All Singers, including the Turbo DLS, feature carbon-fiber bodies, designed from scratch to the smallest detail

The 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six in the Singer Turbo DLS makes 700 hp

The Singer DLS Turbo features water-cooled cylinder heads, similar to the Porsche 959

Magnus Walker has a soft spot for air-cooled Porsches

The Poschephile says he likes his cars affordable, which means they don't, necessarily, need to be pristine examples

Walker acquired many of the cars in his collection for under $10,000

But his daily driver is something even he didn't expect to like at first

A high-mileage Porsche Turbo S sounds like a risky purchase, but not when it has been well-looked-after

Once a nearly $200,000 car, Magnus acquired this 2014 Turbo S daily driver for $60,000

The odometer shows 183,000 miles, most of which (159,000 miles) done by the original owner

The only visible sign of wear is the driver's seat, which really tells you Porsche 911s are built to last

The semi-usable back seats is where Magnus' dog, Willow, often, sits

The PDK transmission was changed at 120,000 miles, which cost the previous owner $30,000

This 991 Turbo S is Magnus' only Porsche that doesn't have a manual transmission

Swipe up to learn more about why he chose this modern-day Porsche as his daily driver.

Porsche Recently Initiated Legal Proceedings Against California-Based Singer

Singer Has Been Restomoding Classic Porsches Since 2009

One Of Their Most Significant Creations To Date Is The DLS Turbo

Porsche Sued Singer In February 2024 Over Unlicensed Use Of Porsche Branding On Singer's Models Including Their 2018 And 2024 DLS Turbo

Porche Claims Tha Singer's Models Are Completely New Cars From The Ground Up

Hence, The Singer Brand Cannot Use Porsche Logo And Other Branding On their Models

In 2012, Porsche Allowed Singer To Modify 911s, But Most Parts Had To Be Sourced From Porsche.

Porsche Reiterated Its Demand For Singer To Remove Porsche Branding From Their DLS Models, Following A Similar Request For The Singer All-Terrain Competition Study (ACS) Where Singer Complied.

This Case Is Reminiscent Of The "Purrari" Case

Ferrari Sent A Cease And Desist Letter To DJ Deadmau5 For His Wrap, Which They Claimed Was Offensive To Their Brand
