California’s Singer has revealed a slant-nose version of its 964-generation Porsche 911-based Turbo Study, applying its typical attention to detail to that iconic design.

First shown as a coupe in 2022, the Turbo Study follows Singer’s template of taking a 964-generation 911 chassis and backdating its appearance. In this case, the design is inspired by the earlier Porsche 930, i.e. the original 911 Turbo built from 1975 to 1989.

Singer offers the Turbo Study in targa and convertible forms in addition to the coupe, and has now added a slant-nose coupe to the list of options. Also known as the “Flachbau” or “Flatnose,” the slant-nose treatment replaces the fixed headlights with pop-up units, creating a lower-profile nose inspired by the Porsche 935 race cars. It was originally offered as a special-order option on the 930 and is quite rare today.

Like other Turbo Study builds, slant-nose cars start out as donor 964 chassis supplied by the customer. These receive a full restoration, along with a 930-style whale tail rear spoiler and flared fenders rendered in carbon fiber.

A twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter flat-6 produces 450 hp as standard and 510 hp with a Sports Focus package. The power is sent to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission. Bosch-supplied traction control and electronic stability, as well as Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires, should make Turbo Study cars less of a handful than the 930 Turbos that inspired them. Singer will also set up cars for performance or grand-touring driving, depending on customer preference.

Singer is allocating just 25 slant-nose coupe build slots, all of which have been spoken for, the company has confirmed.
