Exterior
The process begins when the owner of a Type 964 Porsche 911 sends their car to Singer with the request to carry out a personalized restoration.
The car is carefully disassembled. The interior is removed, as is the exterior bodywork and all mechanical components, until the steel monocoque (chassis) is revealed. The chassis is painstakingly assessed, cleaned, strengthened, and prepared so that it is in optimal condition for the next stages of the restoration. Bespoke carbon fiber body panels are fitted, simultaneously reducing weight and enhancing chassis stiffness.

Interior
Louis Vuitton has, naturally, adorned the interior of the car with its signature; the cabin is entirely upholstered in leather with a natural hue inspired by VVT leather, one of the House’s most utilized leathers. Used for the handles, shoulder straps, edging, and labels of the brand’s exceptional luggage and on its coated canvas bags, the leather is one of Louis Vuitton’s most iconic signatures. The edges of the door handles feature the same edge-dyeing technique used on Louis Vuitton bags, while the stitching is executed in yellow thread. The diamond-patterned embossing on the seats and the front boot trim, as well as the engine compartment at the rear, echoes the “malletage” motif characteristic of the inside of Louis Vuitton trunks.
The House’s designers reimagined every detail of the gauge cluster including the speedometer, rev counter and auxiliary gauges, to ensure they adopted the iconic graphic codes of the Tambour line, particularly through their hands, terminations on the dials and index systems. The chosen design language speaks for itself: a vivid cobalt blue hue accented with bursts of bright orange for the lettering, striking a perfect balance between horological expertise and the rigorous demands of the automotive industry.
At the heart of the project lies a detachable, mechanical timepiece, which can be converted into a desk clock, and whose design is inspired by the iconic Tambour watch, recognisable by its distinctive shape and its twelve polished and engraved letters forming the name of the House on the bezel.
| Interior Element | Specification |
|---|---|
| Seat Style | Carbon fiber track seats with seat eyelets bearing iconic Louis Vuitton Monogram flower designs |
| Primary Trim | Natural hue inspired by Louis Vuitton VVT leather |
| Seat Inserts | Diamond-patterned leather with Yellow stitching echoing “malletage” motif characteristic inside Louis Vuitton trunks |
| Bright Trim | Adjustment knobs, control switches, locks, pull-tabs and air vents crafted in metal, predominantly rhodium-plated, using traditional artisanal techniques. |
| Gauges | Cobalt blue faces with bright orange lettering. Speedometer, rev counter & gauges feature graphic codes and design of the Tambour line |
| Lower Interior Trim | Trimmed in VVT-inspired primary leather |
| Rear Environment | Rear seats with clip-on seatbacks |
| Special Wishes | Detachable, mechanical timepiece, which can be converted into a desk clock, and whose design is inspired by the iconic Tambour watch, recognisable by its distinctive shape and its twelve polished and engraved letters forming the name of the House on the bezel. To truly celebrate the Art of Travel, Louis Vuitton has dressed the classic car’s owner as carefully as it dressed the car. The pieces are cut from a Millésime leather echoing the cabin and finished in the car’s own saffron, cobalt and yellow, so the capsule reads as an extension of the interior rather than a wardrobe set beside it. |
