Yeah, pretty darn sweet.

Incontestable is its vintage Porsche 911 look. However, the Singer 911 is far from antiquated. The complete reincarnation includes chassis stiffening, new active aerodynamics, and a lightweight integral backbone structure and roll cage to improve torsional rigidity. Most interestingly, nearly all of the steel body panels are replaced by full carbon fiber composite bodywork candy-coated in Singer's exclusive "Racing Orange" paint.

Under the rear decklid is an air-cooled 3.82-liter flat-six sporting six individual throttle bodies. With a GT3 crankshaft and titanium connecting rods, the powerplant spins eagerly to 8,000 RPM. The engine sends 425 horsepower and 340 lb-ft of torque to a proper Getrag G50 six-speed manual transmission. According to the engineering team, the 2,400-pound Singer 911 will sprint to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds. Top speed is in excess of 170 MPH.

I'm not a huge fan of the orange tach, and I'd rather have the tach and speedo tilted like the Ruf versions. I suspect for what you pay, you could probably get those two things fixed.

I also think I'd like R tail lights, but the standards are good too.

I had the privilege of seeing the car while still in the build phase and was astonished with the amount of craftsmanship that went into it. It really is a work of art. There are so many little details that you might miss on the first look.

Rob and his team did a fantastic job on it.

They blew it by not painting it Aubergine.

Isn't there another car that is painted very similar with the script and all....I mean almost identical? Is this the same car re-done? Don't get me wrong...I'm not bashing....this is a great car.

I like it

They should have removed the rain gutters like the Ruf.
