Goodwood Festival of Speed Selects Singer to Headline Central Feature Display

Goodwood announced that Singer will take center stage at the 2026 Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard, July 9-12, as the Central Feature display. Taking pride of place in front of Goodwood House, the Festival of Speed’s Central Feature has become synonymous with the bold and innovative sculptures created by Gerry Judah, event officials stated in a press release. The 2026 installation will provide a focal point for a daily celebration and a collection of cars to honor Singer’s impact on the automotive world.

Since its foundation in 2009 by Rob Dickinson, Singer has built a global following for its reimagining of the classic Porsche 911. Singer blends iconic design with cutting-edge engineering, material science and craftsmanship. Each Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer is shaped by the company’s mantra: Everything is Important, noted the release.

Singer To Host Activations Across the Goodwood Festival of Speed

The marque’s presence at the Festival of Speed will extend beyond the Central Feature, with Singer’s stand in front of the Stable Yard and its cars on display in the Supercar Paddock, as well as in action on the famous hill climb course. The company says its activations across the event will showcase its evolution, as well as the latest innovations from its teams in California and the UK.

“I was at the first Festival of Speed in 1993 during a break from touring with the band and never imagined my life would take the twists and turns that resulted in my fledgling design company being invited to attend in 2015,” said Dickinson, Singer’s founder, executive chairman and creative director. “The Festival of Speed has kept us incredibly honest in the decade that followed. Knowing that our work will debut each year on an ever-larger world stage has repeatedly focused our minds and demanded rigor in everything we do. From the cars themselves to the way we connect with the automotive community, striving to impress the hundreds of thousands of enthusiasts who gather at The Duke of Richmond’s amazing event has been incredibly important in shaping our work. So, to be chosen as the featured marque in 2026 is both startling, humbling and oddly appropriate all at once. We’re a Californian company, but we’re also a very, very British one, and to be celebrated in such company and surroundings is an absolute honor.”

“It’s an exciting year for us,” said Raj Nair, Singer’s chief executive officer. “The first DLS Turbo restorations are being received and driven by their owners, we’ve launched the Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet Reimagined by Singer, and we have the Goodwood Festival of Speed to look forward to this summer. It’s Singer’s 11th year at this fantastic event, and we’re honored by the invitation to create an exciting celebration as the Central Feature marque.”

Singer’s History of Debuting Its Latest Creations on Hill Climb

In recent years, Singer has chosen to unveil its latest ideas at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, including DLS (2018), Classic Turbo (2022), DLS Turbo (2023) and, most recently, the Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe Reimagined by Singer (2025), all of which made their public debut on the hill climb.

“Singer has been an immensely popular partner of Goodwood for over a decade, regularly using the Festival of Speed to unveil their latest work,” said The Duke of Richmond CBE DL. “The design and detail of their incredible, bespoke creations is matched only by the quality of the engineering that underpins them; they really are as close to art as you can get in the modern automotive world. It is therefore wonderfully fitting to see this extraordinary craft celebrated through one of Gerry Judah’s monumental sculptures.”
