In Germany, the bold Porsche branding was not lost on anyone.
Singer Vehicle Design will be returning its All Terrain Competition Study to the drawing board, after Porsche protested it. A new CarScoops Report has revealed that Porsche was not happy with Singer’s large “Porsche” lettering. Singer had deleted all traces from the website and Facebook pages of the car, according to the publication.
Porsche stated to the publication that it was “glad” to have such a large community of enthusiasts. However, the company noted that it also has a “responsibility to its customers to ensure that their products are clearly and easily identifiable.” The report doesn’t clarify if the design dispute is affecting the Porsche side sills or the Porsche lettering graphics. Badging could prove to be another problem. Singer has not yet responded to CarScoop’s requests to clarify and provide more information.
Singer ACS was commissioned by a customer to race the high-riding machine. Singer added extra ground clearance to the car. They also installed one the car’s most unique features, a front bumper with forward-extended mudguards. These mudguards are designed to prevent water from getting onto the hood. The BF Goodrich tires are wrapped around 16-inch forged wheels. They fit perfectly under the arched wheel holes. The engine is a twin-turbocharged, air-cooled 3.6-liter flat six that produces approximately 450 horsepower (336 megawatts).
We are sad to see the gray side sills and molded Porsche lettering go. The rear Porsche graphic is a nice addition, above the Singer script as well as the beautifully designed dual exhaust tips. Singer has used Porsche lettering in other projects, so it is uncertain if Porsche will be more attentive to Singer. CarScoops says that Singer will correct the branding problem and take new photos of the car. We are eager to see the new changes.
