- Singer built only 75 DLS models, making each one extremely rare and valuable.
- This example features $42,550 Fluid Silver paint and exposed carbon fiber details.
- The DLS includes a naturally aspirated 500 hp flat-six built by Williams Engineering.
To the untrained eye, Singer’s remarkable 911-based Dynamics and Lightweighting Study, better known as the DLS, might look like just another 964. In reality, it’s an entirely reimagined, ultra-lightweight sports car, built with obsessive attention to detail and performance. With values now rivaling some of the world’s top-tier hypercars, one example is expected to sell for up to $3.2 million at auction next month.
Singer built just 75 examples of the DLS, and this particular example is known as the ‘Mame Commission.’ It was completed in August 2022 and has been driven just 250 miles. Chances are, the original owner was waiting for exactly this moment, as DLS values have risen sharply.
In the US, the DLS carries with it a base price of $1.8 million, and in June, a similar low-mileage car traded hands for $3 million on Bring a Trailer. Clearly, collectors view this as far more than a typical restomod

The Mame Commission has been painted in Fluid Silver, which was a $42,550 option, and has a complete paint protection film. It includes several exposed satin carbon fiber accents, sits on Fuchs-style 18-inch wheels, and has the same incredible road presence as all other DLSs. That means it includes beautifully flared wheel arches, a massive lip spoiler on the tailgate, and updated LED headlights and taillights.

A Cabin That Makes a Statement
While the Fluid Silver finish is relatively understated, the same cannot be said about the car’s interior. It is covered almost entirely in Olive Green suede with Black trim and carbon fiber parts. Key options include a $10,000 carbon fiber X-brace, color-matched harnesses, and a maple wood shift knob. This is a proper work of automotive art, hence why it’s so valuable.
Perhaps the highlight of the DLS is the powertrain. It uses a 4.0-liter naturally-aspirated flat-six from Williams Advanced Engineering with 500 hp. It also includes an Inconel and titanium exhaust and power is routed through the rear wheels thanks to a six-speed manual transmission, staying true to the analog purity that defines the car’s appeal.
This is less about nostalgia and more about precision, a car that pays homage to Porsche’s history while rewriting what’s possible with its platform.
