Those look like they might be from Singer's Williams engined monster.

Yes, here is the article revealing full details.


I can't decide my favorite mind blowing detail. Of course the engine, but then..the front air cooler valance, the rear tail-lights, the shifter...wow wow wow!

That is ridiculous. The things you can do with lots and lots of money.

i found an article on this car. while i like the cars singer has built to this point a lot, i'm not a fan of this one. too much "modern" and kinda ugly. i'm sure it's a monster driver.

love the color. just finishing up one of my cars in leaf green, this is similar...

Cool wheels and tech, but I'm with TAG...it's just too tacky for my tastes. Sometimes more /= better.

Reminds me of a Countach: LP400 -> LP400S (flairs) -> LP500 (with flairs and wing) -> 25th anniversary.
There's a point where the pure design turns into a 'good evolution' that turns into 'just too much'

Finally a wheel that looks like it is really easy to clean!

That was the most impressive thing about the article to me too. Even the manufacturing dots on the rear glass look real.

Actually, with a closer look, what up with the roof and rear glass anyways?

Wheels are nice, but I'm not a fan of center lock on Fuchs. I think the new Singer should leave out the Porsche name because the car has ventured way off the Porsche origin. Nice car, but I don't think of it as a Porsche 911.

Are you sure? Most of them look totally real?

Interesting the NACA duct in the rear qtr window combined with the panel in the rear bumper being open and the duck tail opening on the back. Should provide a ton of flow through air. I wonder if that significantly enhances cooling? It seems like it would.

I love the exterior and chassis/engine details. The interior is a bit much.

I am just glad someone will spend their money on the old cars this way. Fun to see.

The pictures left me speechless at first.
