This glamorous Porsche 911 was reimagined by Singer, a design company which specialises in modifying that exact model of car.
As Singer's Classic Study programme has ceased orders, this is a rare - and possibly final - opportunity to own a classic 911 fresh from Singer's Los Angeles facility.
The vehicle, known as the Black Watch Commission, is one of the last to be reimagined by Singer and is painted in a beautiful Oak Green - a Porsche colour which is valued at £8,875.
The nickel-coated Fuchs-style wheels and the car's Black Watch tartan upholstery truly make the car feel like one of a kind.
The tartan is a reference to an 18th century Scottish regiment and is a reference to the 1970s 930 Turbos.
Rich leather and blue accented stitching give the car's interior an added feeling of luxury.
With Apple CarPlay and the Porsche Classic Navigation System, it has a vintage look and a modern appeal - with all of those elegant touches being topped off with a 4.0 badge finished with 24-carat gold.
At its heart is the revered 4.0-litre air-cooled flat-six engine, paired with a five-speed manual gearbox, titanium exhaust system, Ohlins adjustable suspension, carbon ceramic brakes, and a lightweight carbon fibre roof.
However, all of those glamorous features mean that the car costs an eye-watering £1 million.
The Porsche is on sale with RM Sotheby's as part of their Sealed Drop taking place 26th-29th May 2025.
Remastered Porsche so rare only 25 were ever made could be yours for eye-popping £850K – with 4L engine & 435 horsepower
Having only accrued delivery mileage since it rolled out of Singer's California headquarters, the Black Watch Commission is being offered directly by its commissioning owner in near-factory-fresh condition.
The car's listing reads: ''The Black Watch Commission,' finished in Oak Green Metallic with an Espresso and 'Black Watch' tartan interior.
'4.0-litre engine with titanium exhaust, Öhlins adjustable suspension, carbon fibre roof, and Brembo carbon ceramic brakes.
'Completed by Singer in January 2025.

'Offered from the commissioning owner; delivery mileage since completion.
'A rare opportunity to acquire one of the last Classic Studies in virtually as-new condition.'
The sale comes just weeks after a historic car sold for £100,000 in the UK.
The incredible vehicle was a 1936 Rolls Royce Phantom III Touring Limousine, owned by Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery and Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
Featuring an electric cigar lighter installed for the wartime politician and a drinks tray, the vehicle is one of a kind and comes in British Racing Green colour.

Revology 1967 Shelby GT500 review: the bar for resto Mustangs just got much, much higher Reviews 2025

Bite your cynical alter ego's tongue, please. This is a 1967 Shelby GT500, built by the fine folks of Revology Cars, which means it's not just another restomod slapped together to make a quick buck off of people who refer to all classic Mustangs as 'an Eleanor'. Does it now? Indeed. If you recall our last run-around with a Revology Mustang, there was much bristling around the label 'restomod' from company founder and CEO Tom Scarpello due to the association the term has with the roughshod junk flooding the Mustang market. After an exhaustive deep dive into how Revology makes its products – including a walkthrough of its Florida facility – we're here to tell you that is very much not the case here. Where's Revology at these days? Physically, in Orlando, Florida. But business-wise, they're in a good place. Revology now lives under the umbrella of Knighthead Capital Management, which doesn't mean much to the average Joe on its own, but is relevant here because Knighthead also has a controlling stake in Singer, the famous Porsche restoration company. Though the two companies operate independently, to be able to call Revology 'the Singer of Mustangs' is worth the association alone. It's a great shorthand for the level of quality Scarpello and crew are committed to with their offerings. Enough business talk. Power! Speed! Yes! This Shelby GT500 is fitted with a Ford/Roush 5.0-liter supercharged V8 that screws up 710hp and lays it all down to the rears by way of a six-speed manual. You can hear it screaming out the back of the Borla exhaust Revology had tuned specifically for this car and it sounds as powerful as it feels. It doesn't feel right to simply say 'pretty good' without talking about build quality first, and my summary is barely going to do the process justice. Stick with us, this is cool. Let's start by saying Revology builds its cars like an OEM, which was evident throughout a tour of what is basically its mini assembly plant. There is no 'let's take an old Mustang and shove aftermarket bits' here, there is an agonizing design and build process that has a legacy automaker's level of scrutiny throughout each stage, most of it unsexy but no less fascinating. I sat through a 30-minute presentation about making a better powered window, and was transfixed by the level of importance this and other oft-overlooked components receive. Returning to the Shelby, this GT500 benefits from a number of updates made to the recent batch of Mustangs, including a revised assembly process that now includes the use of structural adhesives to improve rigidity. As I climb in, Scarpello is eager to point out a number of upgrades. The seats? New and sourced from the Mazda MX-5, because the answer is always Miata. Even in other cars, apparently. They're just a better fit, physically and thematically, than what the aftermarket offers. Pedal geometry adjustments and tweaks to the gearbox have been made, which Scarpello points out as a fix to one of the observations I made in the 'Bullitt' Mustang I drove before.
