Porsche 911 DLS Reimagined By Singer

[Captain Snooze]

Omg!

Not sure if I have seen this one (video)...

But all the Singer Porsches make me consider selling a Kidney.

If I happen onto a ton of money, this would be my second purchase (paying off my house would be first)

Anyway, thanks for sharing!

Another singer. Incredible cars with one of the stupidest mods ever: putting the fuel filler in the most inconvenient place ever on the car in the middle of the front hood.

Is there a Singer for Ferraris? At least then the car will end up prettier. I totally get the appeal of the 911 and hope to have one someday, but for this money, I'd demand something far prettier.

Every single time I read that name!

Your going to need another 1.5 million on top of your kidney!

Singer has always been Way over priced. They are for the uber rich 911 collector.

It's a really cool market though that has yet to be expanded into the JDM market to the same fame/extent. Sure you have tuners and some coach builders but none to the extent of Singer producing a run of their products based on someone else's production car.

Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera is another one whom managed to find the market with lots of growth following TopGear's exposure of their Disco Volante.

It neat to think about what cars this can be done with. Both repeatedly and successfully.

Porsche has the cache to support these brands. People who want a Porsche have the serious money it takes. People who want a 1992 Honda Civic Si are not so rich.

If I wanted a serious trackday weapon, I'd buy an open or close-wheeled single-seat racecar, something with downforce. As a serious canyon crusher, I think a factory 911 is going to be peachy.

If I was going to rebody an entire car in carbon and rebuild the engine to amazing standards, it would have to be a Ferrari BB512.

Well it also kind of helps that the 911 was the only Porsche sports car for a very long time, and they are basically all the same (:P I kid).

What Japanese car is a coachbuilder supposed to go adopt? Honda Civic? Nissan GTR? Nissan Z?

At Singer prices, you can do all the custom work you want to pretty much whatever car you want though.

I would think the Toyota 2000gt/Celica Supra, FB Rx-7, or a Nissan/Datsun S30/C10 would be the starting point. More recent cars aren't aged enough yet and will just get hammered in critiques.

Maybe the advantage Porsches have is that they're somewhat common, so nobody turns up a nose at heavy modification?
