Singer to headline this year’s Goodwood FOS Central Feature

Singer, the company that has become renowned for its reimaginings of classic Porsches, will headline the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard as part of this year’s Central Feature showcase.

Founded in 2009 by Rob Dickinson, Singer has become a global brand defined by its philosophy, ‘a relentless pursuit of excellence’. It is that mantra that will come to the fore across all four days of this year’s edition of the Festival of Speed.

Since those earliest days, Singer’s mission has been to reimagine what Porsche might have become had the original engineers behind the 911 had access to 21st century technology.

Rob Dickinson, Singer’s Founder, Executive Chairman and Creative Director, said: “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.

“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 rigour 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.”

The Duke of Richmond CBE DL, added: “Singer has been an immensely popular partner of Goodwood for over a decade, regularly using the Festival of Speed to unveil their latest work.

“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.”
