Recently, the legendary Singer company unveiled perhaps their most stunning creation to date. Famed for their incredible Porsche 911 resto-mods, Singer developed the 911 ACS. ACS stands for All-terrain Competition Study, and it is an off-road version of the Porsche 911, paying homage to the likes of the Safari 911s and the cars that competed in the World Rally Championship. The car was developed in conjunction with Tuthill Porsche, and they have showcased the car they helped create by taking it for an amazing off-road drive. Putting the vehicle through its paces, they’ve since uploaded the video to their Instagram page to show off its awesome off-roading prowess.
Put Through Its Paces
Richard can be seen at the helm of the ACS throughout the video. Somewhere in the UK, the car is thrown through forests and gravel paths, drifting and sliding its way through mud and dirt as well as making an incredible sound while doing so. An incredible juxtaposition is created as the car drifts around wind turbines before being thrown around once again while making glorious sounds. You want to have your volume up listening to this video.
A long-term client requested the design, and it is a total rip-up and reimagining of their Type 964, air-cooled 911 that's been turned into this WRC-inspired machine. Tuthill earlier in the week posted a couple of images of the ACS. One of them shows the car clean and showroom ready, the other not so much! The car instead was out on the rally stage, being put through its paces by none other than Tuthill boss, Richard Tuthill himself.
A Stunning And Engaging Off-Roader
Tuthill wanted to make a thrilling, engaging, and beautifully executed machine and they have done just that. The car is stunning, with blown-out arches, insane mud flaps on the front of the car, and specially optimized off-road suspension that allows its drivers to really lean on the car and push it to its full potential. This car took over a year for Tuthill and Singer to develop, and it pays tribute to the likes of the 911 SC/RS and 959, as well as events such as the Paris-Dakar Rally and the Baja 1000.
