Louis Vuitton x Singer Vehicle Design brings together two commissioned Porsche 911 restorations based on 964-generation donor cars, combining Singer's engineering with custom watchmaking, leatherwork and travel accessories. The first is a Singer Classic coupe finished in saffron yellow with cobalt blue accents, featuring lightweight carbon-fiber bodywork, a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter air-cooled flat-six producing 420 hp and a six-speed manual transmission. Carbon-ceramic brakes accompany a bespoke roof rack sized for Louis Vuitton luggage, skis or a surfboard. Interior details include Monogram flower motifs, Malletage-inspired quilting, edge-painted leather, rhodium-plated switchgear and a gearshift referencing the house's Noé bag.
The second commission is a Singer Classic Turbo Cabriolet created with Nicolas Ghesquière. Its Calcaire Lutétien white finish is paired with Cognac leather, warm wood and gold-toned trim, while a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter flat-six delivers approximately 510 hp through a manual gearbox. A removable Tambour-inspired mechanical dashboard clock is matched with a 40 mm ceramic-and-gold wristwatch.
