All it needs is a proper ducktail to really finish it.

I don't think he said 11,000 rpm's enough times .

[asphaltgambler]

OK, so what's the buy in on that? $6 figures+?

Yep saw that... Carbon Fuchs! That would have to be a first.

[masraum]

I'd be willing to take that to get groceries...






...in Alaska!

I love that most of the carbon is painted. Carbon is cool, but it doesn't all need to be exposed.

Mad dogs and Englishmen...

You have to respect that kind of crazy.

Just another example of cost no object engineering. Well done engineering by talented people. And like a Singer, likely never to be driven on roads like a normal car is very often. I wonder what average mileage is on a Singer. Low I suspect.

I don't know about that. I know that when I lived near downtown Houston, I frequently saw GT3RSs, Lambos, Ferraris, McLarens, etc....

If I could afford something like that, I'd probably drive it a fair amount.

You drive the heck out of your 911 which is not an inexpensive car or cheap to replace these days.

I see lots of high end cars, GT3RS, and Turbo S, and such, just not the Singers. Very few RUFs and heck, we have a local guy with a new Bugatti Chiron. At an event in Eureka Springs every November there will be a dozen GT3RS, GT3, GT4s sometimes two Carrera GTs and a regular 918. All driving on the roads, and used as cars. 300 Porsches show up to drive the best roads in America.

So far, I have not seen a Singer on the road. And the Tuthill is unlikely to ever be driven like that. Does the Tuthill even have a heater? It does not have AC.

pretty close to 7 figures I think.

Wonder who builds the 4V heads and the engines? I think singer partnered with williams for theirs. Must be crazy short stroke

997 GT3 - ~4600 built
997 GT3 RS - 3100 built
997 GT3 RS 4.0 - 600 built
991 GT3 - 15,800 built
991 GT3 RS - 9300 built
(no numbers for 992)

Singer Porsches total number of vehicles produced 450.

There are so few Singers out there that they are going to be very rare so the odds of seeing them are very low.

Funny, the Norwegian 917 that I posted about has AC and heat.

1887 lbs, 35hp. Seems like a good match. Wow

[ZOO]

Even with the low weight, and the relatively "tame" power figures, I can't wrap my head around how little tire there is. I'm used to modern cars, with lots of weight, and lots of tire.

And yes, I know the power-to-weight ratio is ridiculous

The fan shroud says "1 of 33". hgnnnnnn
