Dramatic Singer Central Feature revealed at the 2026 Festival of Speed

With the opening of the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard, we can now reveal this year’s incredible Central Feature. Singer Vehicle Design, the company renowned for reimagining Porsche 911s in exquisite detail, is the celebrated marque, and the scene in front of Goodwood House is dominated by the latest Gerry Judah sculpture which puts on display three Singer models.

The Classic, Classic Turbo and DLS are all suspended from the dramatic triple arch structure, its simple design allowing the trio of Singers suitable prominence in the Goodwood skyline.

Singer was founded in California by Englishman Rob Dickinson in 2009 and since then has built a reputation for developing its cars to the nth degree. The cars really need to be seen up close to appreciate the craftsmanship involved in their creation, and thankfully there are another eight cars on show at the event so you can do just that.

Five cars feature on Singer’s stand at the Stable Yard. Among their number is the public debut of the first ever slantnose Singer, alongside a Classic, DLS, Classic DLS and DLS Turbo. A further three cars have made the Supercar Paddock presented by Abu Dhabi Investment Office their home and will take their turn to run up the Hill on several occasions throughout the weekend.

And, once a day, all those cars will gather in front of the House in the shadow of the sculpture, together with privately owned Singers for a celebration of this unique marque. There really isn’t another organisation like Singer, and it’s one that has been present at Goodwood for more than a decade.

“Singer has grown up at Goodwood, which has become a second home to us and the scene for important launches over the years,” said founder Rob Dickinson. “Our thanks go to the Duke of Richmond for that first invitation back in 2015 and for creating this iconic event.

“An incredible global community of owners and enthusiasts loves the 911 as we do, and every car we restore reflects the work of our talented teams in both California and the UK. It’s humbling to be back, starting our eleventh Festival of Speed with the cars on the sculpture, and we’re looking forward to seeing everyone across the next four days.”
