- Louis Vuitton and Singer jointly revealed two bespoke Porsche 911-based creations.
- Both cars feature a removable mechanical dashboard clock inspired by the Tambour watch.
- The Classic gets travel gear while the Turbo Cabriolet wears wood like an Italian motorboat.
There are countless collaborations out there between supercar builders and high-end brands. Then, there’s whatever Singer and Louis Vuitton just cooked up across two very special cars. The design house worked with Singer to add its own touch to the gauges, trim, controls, luggage, driving gear, and even the dashboard clock. Frankly, calling it a clock is underselling it, as it can come out of the car and become a desk clock. That’s how extreme these builds are.
The project began with that watch, which took a year of development once Louis Vuitton and Singer decided the rest of the cabin had to live up to it. The gauges now use Tambour-inspired graphics, cobalt blue faces, and orange lettering. Louis Vuitton says it’s the first time it has created a co-branded item, while Singer says the two organizations were effectively trading decades of craftsmanship knowledge.

Before getting too far, let’s clarify again. There are two cars. The first is a Singer Classic coupe in saffron and cobalt blue, colors that reference both Louis Vuitton’s heritage and Singer’s early Bahama Yellow commissions. It has a specially designed roof rack for a bespoke trunk, skis, or the matching surfboard seen in the photos. Underneath the carbon-fiber-bodied 964 is a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter air-cooled flat-six, six-speed manual, rear-wheel drive, and carbon-ceramic brakes.
Its cabin gets naturally colored leather, yellow stitching, hand-finished metal controls, and tiny Monogram flower details on the seat ventilation eyelets. There’s also bespoke luggage shaped for the front trunk, a helmet, driving gloves, shoes, and a jacket. Will they fit future owners? We have no idea, but we’re quite confident that person can afford new pieces should they desire them.
The other is a Classic Turbo Cabriolet designed with Louis Vuitton women’s creative director Nicolas Ghesquière. Finished in limestone-inspired Calcaire Lutétien white, it has a 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six, manual transmission, a whale-tail spoiler, and wood everywhere. The bumpers, rear deck, cabin trim, and even the luggage compartment borrow from classic runabouts.
Neither company mentioned pricing or whether either car is available to buy. That almost feels beside the point. These are rolling proof that if you give Singer and Louis Vuitton enough time, and oodles of dollars, even a 911’s ignition key can become jewelry.
