Style revivals from the 1980s can be questionable at best, but we’re fully on board with the idea of bringing back one of the era’s iconic vehicles. Working with client-supplied Porsche 911s, specifically Type 964s, Singer is rejuvenating the cars with naturally aspirated, four-valve flat-6 engines. The power plant is Singer’s first to feature variable valve timing, which optimizes drivability at low speeds and maximizes power at high revs. From there, customization options are plentiful and can be tailored to intended use, whether that’s relaxed touring or track-focused performance. “We’re celebrating the heritage of the Porsche 911,” says Singer chief strategy officer Mazen Fawaz, “both for those who read every press report about their hero cars as kids and for those who were too young to know about these incredible machines the first time around.”
We’re celebrating the heritage of the Porsche 911.”
Every motorcycle that Arch builds is a custom bike—it’s just not a one-off creation from the start. In the words of the brand’s co-founder, Gard Hollinger, Arch is a limited-production motorcycle company. “We have designed, engineered, and developed repeatable model platforms and have built in the ability to personalize both the ergonomics and aesthetics,” he explains. Whether clients choose the race-inspired 1s as their foundational build or the KRGT-1 (a high-performance cruiser designed with an aggressive profile), they’ll enjoy the company’s 124-cubic-inch, high-torque V-Twin engine. The team works off photos provided by the client—images of anything that inspires or excites them—to personalize the bike’s details. “Many finishes are available for nearly all components,” Hollinger says, “and each Arch motorcycle has a unique livery design and colors.”
Back in the day, discerning automotive enthusiasts commissioned coachbuilders like Zagato, Figoni et Falaschi, and Pininfarina to create bespoke automobiles that captured—and sometimes flaunted—their individual styles. Everrati—a specialty British automaker known for converting mid-20th-century classics into modern, electric-powered incarnations of their former fuel-injected selves—is bringing back the craft. Last year, the company launched Artisan, a new division focused exclusively on custom builds. “This is more than customization,” says Libby Meigh, Everrati’s color, material, and finish specialist. “It’s a deeply personal commissioning journey shaped entirely around our client’s personal vision.”
Since its inception in 2017, Expedition Motor Company (EMC) has rebuilt more than 160 Daimler-Benz Geländewagens from the 1990s. When they roll out of EMC’s production facility in New Jersey, these G-Wagons, as they’re commonly known, might look like authentic restorations—at least at first glance—but they’re loaded with modern conveniences and plenty of amplified power. Each vehicle undergoes 2,300 hours of restoration and modification, and the company’s latest iteration, the 620GE, boasts contemporary bells and whistles like wireless Apple CarPlay, a Harman Kardon 6.1 audio system, heated seats, and a backup camera. Under the hood, clients will find a 6.2-liter V-8 capable of delivering up to 430 hp. In the words of EMC’s founder, Alex Levin, “Anyone who loves the design of our G-Wagons and desires a beefier engine will be blown away by the 620GE.”
