Check out this 2011 Singer Porsche 911 custom built by the guys at Singer Vehicle Design. They have decided to re-create, and restore the old classic Porsche 911 models, from the pre-1994 series. Some nice pictures here show us what this late 70′s or early 80′s model Porsche 911 can look like with a little attention to detail. However, this restoration of the 911 can’t be considered authentic, because the tuners use custom made parts from carbon fiber and other powertrains to keep them up to par with today’s standards.

The Sportec tuning firm released the SPR1 FL based on the current 997 Porsche 911 Turbo with a facelift. It is the successor to the SPR1 R, featuring a new semi-sequential gearbox, LED taillights, rear bumper, and side mirrors. Performance numbers stayed relatively the same, however are still an impressive 858 PS and 880 Nm of torque. The new FL in the name comes from a Smooth Flow intake manifold holding two injectors per chamber. Other tuning performed is the addition of a carbon ram air intake, two hybrid turbos, and a performance intercooler.

The guys at Mansory were one of the most active tuning companies releasing new projects at the Geneva Motor Show. Besides the Mercedes SLS and Ferrari 458 Siracusa, we now have the Porsche Cayenne Turbo SUV from Mansory. A wide-body kit was installed to make the truck more aggressive, and consists of many carbon fiber parts. A new bonnet, side skirts, and rear diffuser were fitted perfectly, along with new 22-inch black rims. Under the hood, performance tuning was a top priority and done right by Mansory.

Hamann, the German tuners have debuted the Guardian, styled on the Porsche Cayenne Turbo, and released at the Geneva Auto Show. The front apron features integrated fog lights and LED daytime lights, as well as large air inlets; the carbon bonnet is lightweight and boosts engine ventilation with a power dome slip. The Cayenne is widened by 120 mm in front and 160 mm in back by side skirts and fender extensions. A gray and black paint theme with new wheels were installed for a custom look. Two large exhaust pipes are centrally mounted on the rear apron, which also boasts an integrated diffuser. An air filter, catalysts, sport exhaust system, and silencer are used to boost power. An ECU remap works with the hardware to increase the V8 twin-turbo engine output up to a full 550 PS.

It’s been a while since RUF unveiled a new tuning kit, but they have now come to the lime light at the Geneva Motor Show with the RT 12 R based on the Porsche 911. The 3.8-liter twin-turbo Boxer engine received a nice power upgrade to 730 PS and 940 Nm of torque. A stunning gold and yellow paint job with black contrasting parts were used. The engine puts down the power through the six-speed manual transmission to the all-wheel-drive system. An optional rear-wheel-drive setting is available, but who would want to use that? The top speed for the RUF RT12 R is 370 km/h (230 mph), while the sports car weighs in at only 1495 kg (3295 lbs). Several carbon fiber parts make up the exterior styling, and we have the complete list after the jump.
