Singer Vehicle Design to Headline Central Feature at the 2026 Festival of Speed

Singer Vehicle Design, based in California, USA, will be honored with the Central Feature at the Festival of Speed, taking place from July 9-12, 2026.

Goodwood announced today that Singer will be the central focus of the 2026 Festival of Speed, presented by Mastercard, and will be celebrated with a dedicated Central Feature display.

The Central Feature at the Festival of Speed, situated in front of Goodwood House, is renowned for its spectacular, large-scale sculptures created by artist Gerry Judah. For 2026, the feature will pay homage to Singer's impact on the automotive world, bringing together a special collection of vehicles with a grand fanfare, promising moments of exhilaration throughout the event.

Since its founding by Rob Dickinson in 2009, Singer has garnered global acclaim as a unique automotive company. Famous for its reimagined classic Porsche 911s, Singer blends iconic design with cutting-edge engineering, material science, and craftsmanship. Each Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer is shaped by the company's simple yet powerful mantra: "Everything is Important."

Singer's presence at the Festival of Speed extends beyond the Central Feature, with a Singer stand located in front of the Stable Yard, vehicles on display in the Supercar Paddock, and participation on the famous Hillclimb course. These engagements throughout the event will showcase Singer's evolution and the latest innovations from its California and UK teams.

In recent years, Singer has unveiled its latest models at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, including the DLS (2018), the Classic Turbo (2022), the DLS Turbo (2023), and most recently, the Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe Reimagined by Singer (2025), all of which made their public debut on the Hillclimb, captivating fans.

Rob Dickinson, Founder and Chairman & Creative Director of Singer, commented: "I attended the very first Festival of Speed as a spectator in 1993, between band tours, and never in my wildest dreams did I imagine my life would take the twists and turns it has, leading to my nascent design company being invited to the event in 2015. The Festival of Speed has been a constant touchstone for us over the past decade, reminding us to stay true to our craft. It has sharpened our focus and driven our commitment to uncompromising rigor in every creation. From the cars themselves to how we connect with the automotive community, striving to inspire the hundreds of thousands of enthusiasts who gather for The Duke of Richmond’s magnificent event has been incredibly formative for our work. To be chosen as the marque for 2026 is both a surprise and a deeply humbling, yet strangely fitting, honor. We are a California company, but we are also profoundly British in spirit. To be celebrated amongst such company and in such surroundings is the highest possible compliment."

Mazen Fawaz, Chief Strategy Officer at Singer, added: "We’ve been driving 911s up the Goodwood hill for over a decade now (and are eternally grateful to our owners for letting us wear out their tires). Singer has grown up with the Festival of Speed, and to be given this opportunity is surreal and truly unbelievable. The team at Goodwood has created something truly unique. I can’t wait to see the smoke and be at the start line."

Raj Nair, CEO of Singer, stated: "This is an exciting year for us. We’ve delivered the first DLS Turbo restored vehicles to owners and they are now being driven. We’ve also unveiled the Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet Reimagined by Singer and have the Festival of Speed ahead of us this summer. This will be Singer’s 11th appearance at this incredible event, and we are deeply honored to be invited as the marque for the Central Feature and to have the opportunity to contribute to this special celebration."

The Duke of Richmond CBE DL said: "Singer has been a hugely popular partner at Goodwood for over a decade, regularly using the Festival of Speed to unveil their latest creations. The astonishing bespoke cars they produce are matched only by the quality of the engineering that underpins them, and the exceptional design and attention to detail. They are, quite simply, the closest thing to a work of art in the automotive world today. It is therefore entirely fitting that this extraordinary craftsmanship should be celebrated with a monumental sculpture by Gerry Judah."
