Many Porsche enthusiasts who visit Auto Vino sometimes confuse the “Sooner” Porsche with the “Singer” Porsche. The two cars are both beautiful custom interpretations of an air-cooled Porsche 911 with one exception; the Sooner has reimagined the 911 by recombining 100% Porsche parts from different models to make this car. The rare and sought-after Singer uses a carbon fiber bodywork in their restorations specifically from the 1989-1994 Porsche 911 Coupe or Targa.
For this Sooner example, the donor car was a Porsche 964 that in its day featured a significant styling revision over previous 911 cars, most apparent was the integrated bumpers. The suspension was also redesigned using coil springs that were the first significant engineering changes since the original 911 in 1963. The back fenders came from a 911 Turbo (internally called the 930 Turbo) that would redefine the look and appeal of the 911’s silhouette, and the suspension is from a 911 RS (RS stands for Rennsport in German, meaning race sport).
The Sooner Porsche is the creation of the new Porsche Classic Center in Norway. They are known for thinking differently and taking the time needed to assemble each new concept of the 911 called “Sooner.” The name Sooner is a play on words. The Classic Center is located in the old coastal town along the Oslofjord south of Oslo that was originally spelled “Soon” and later shorted to Son, and the word “Sooner” translates to “quicker” in Norwegian that describes this car perfectly.
The Norway Classic Center is the world’s third established by Porsche in Stuttgart, Germany to service the needs of earlier eras as well as the latest vehicles. A testament to Porsche’s design and engineering is that more than 70% of all cars ever produced since 1948 are still on the road today. In Norway alone, there are 10,250 Porsches on the road, and 5,000 of them are classics or cars that have ceased production for more than ten years.
Auto Vino rare and exotic car storage is proud to preserve and protect the heritage of German Motorcars in a museum-like setting to display beautiful examples of Art-on-Wheels for those who have a passion for rare, exotic, and fast cars, and for those too who don't.
The car presented here is privately owned and not for sale.
