While the powertrain of the DLS is impressive, it’s perhaps the cabin that’s this particular example’s most dramatic part

- The Singer DLS was unveiled seven years ago and was refreshed in 2023.
- RM Sotheby’s expects it to go for between $3.25-$3.75 million at auction.
- Adorning the exterior is Parallax White paint with Norfolk Yellow lettering.
At the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2018, Singer unveiled the Dynamics and Lightweighting Study, best known as the DLS. Created as the ultimate version of the Californian firm’s beloved restomodded Porsche 964 911, the DLS has morphed into a modern-day icon, as evidenced by one recently trading hands for $3 million. Soon, another will cross the auction block.
This particular DLS is the very same car that was presented to the world at Goodwood back in 2018. Known as EP1, it is painted in Parallax White with Ghosted Light stripes and Norfolk Yellow lettering. It would go on to be featured in numerous magazines before being meticulously refreshed by Singer in 2023. It now presents as essentially brand-new and has been driven for just ~850 miles (~1,300 km).

Singer only ever built 75 examples of the DLS, and in the US, each car has a base price of $1.8 million. Tick a few options, and that figure can creep into the $2 million range. RM Sotheby’s is handling the sale of this car through its Sealed division and expects it to fetch between $3.25 million and $3.75 million, or more than a Koenigsegg Jesko.
The Singer DLS is powered by a 4.0-liter naturally-aspirated flat-six engine developed by Williams Advanced Engineering that delivers 500 hp, a remarkable figure for an air-cooled street-legal engine. A six-speed manual is the only transmission available and it sends power to the rear wheels.

EP1 was originally presented with a set of silver wheels, and while this set is included in the auction, it now sits on Norfolk Yellow Fuchs-style wheels that look even better. The cabin perfectly matches those rims and the exterior branding thanks to flashy leather on the seats, door panels, headliner, and the lower part of the dashboard. Also found within are heaps of carbon fiber parts, including the bespoke transmission tunnel.
Given that all DLSs were quickly accounted for, picking one up from the used market is the only option for those who badly want to own one.
