Louis Vuitton takes its extensive design savoir-faire to the open road in its recent collaboration with Singer, the Californian atelier known for its ultra-custom restorations of classic Porsche 911s. The marques joined forces to reimagine two vehicles – one with a Type 964 coupé chassis, dubbed “Classic” and the other, “Classic Turbo”, a Type 964 cabriolet chassis – with bespoke Louis Vuitton details. The elements redesigned include the instrument display, embossed seats, custom exterior treatments and a detachable dashboard clock created by Swiss atelier La Fabrique du Temps. The partnership involved every Louis Vuitton department, from leather artisans to trunkmakers, and the Classic even includes a specially designed roof rack that can accommodate a trunk, a surfboard or a pair of skis.
