What are the two "Porsche 911" jointly created by Louis Vuitton and Singer?

Singer Vehicle Design (Singer), in collaboration with Louis Vuitton, is a super high-end restomod manufacturer that creates high-quality, ideal 911s one by one based on the classic 911. Since 2009, it has commenced with the philosophy of rebuilding the ideal 911 from scratch, based in California, USA.

It is unusual for Louis Vuitton to be deeply involved with the vehicle itself, but it seems to be rooted deeply in the maison's tradition and DNA, considering the journey itself an experience where "moving artwork" is created. Thanks to Singer's bespoke (made for each individual) approach, it has expanded the world view of Louis Vuitton into the very mobile experience of the car, creating a one-of-a-kind product for ultra-wealthy individuals.

Draped in saffron and cobalt blue, the Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer – Classic is equipped with a specially designed roof rack that can carry a trunk, surfboard, and skis. It is designed for grand journeys according to the specifications envisioned by Louis Vuitton.

The details that most eloquently tell the "essence of travel" according to Louis Vuitton are its meticulous nuances. It is said to be reimagined to meet standards of savoir-faire rarely seen in the automotive industry as a crystallization of careful creativity.

The interior features Louis Vuitton's signature, with the entire cabin wrapped in a natural-toned leather inspired by VVT leather, one of the most commonly used materials in the maison.

The seats are made with leather handpicked by skilled Louis Vuitton artisans and are upholstered by Singer's team in the cabin.

The edges of the door handles feature the same edge-dyeing technique as Louis Vuitton's bags, with yellow thread used for the stitching. The diamond-pattern embossing embellishing the seats, the front trunk trim, and the rear engine compartment evokes the "maltage" motif, symbolizing the interiors of Louis Vuitton trunks.

To ensure comfort in the driver's and passenger's seats, each has been finished by hand with ventilation holes (eyelets). These eyelets are adorned with Louis Vuitton's iconic Monogram Flower design, a motif that resonates with the design of the windshield, which is also featured on the sun visors and headrests.

This attention to detail serves as a guiding principle for the artisans of Louis Vuitton and Singer, making every part of the vehicle embody a pursuit of beauty unseen in modern automotive design. All plastic components typically used in car interiors are said to have been replaced with components crafted by hand using high-quality natural materials.

Equipped with a 3.8L twin-turbo flat-six engine and featuring an air-cooled intercooler, the Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer – Classic Turbo is a cabriolet developed under the leadership of Nicolas Ghesquière, the Artistic Director of Louis Vuitton's women’s collection.

This vehicle, with a white bodywork and discreet brown accents, exudes an interior that harmonizes leather and wood, expressing a refined homage to the elegance of classic motorboats.

Behind the seats upholstered in leather on a technical wood shell, a specially developed luggage compartment designed to fit the unique form of this vehicle extends. This space incorporates varnished wood using the same techniques as the deck of a runabout (luxury small boat). There is ample space to accommodate a bespoke Louis Vuitton luggage made to perfectly fit the car, as well as a lightweight soft top inspired by maritime themes.

A unique and unprecedented collaboration between Louis Vuitton and Singer. Going beyond a mere partnership, through deep exchanges, it has crystallized the distinct identities each maison possesses more vividly.

Every decision in design is a result of exquisite balance. In every choice, it seems that a perfect harmony with the rigorous requirements of engineering, durability, ergonomics, and design, with feasibility as an absolute condition, was achieved.
