Hope this isn't a repost.

425 hp and 340 lbs. ft. of torque, 0-60 3.9s, built by a true Porsche enthusiast.

Singer Vehicle Design rolled out its first prototype, plainly named the "Singer 911," at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance last month. Based on an '80s-era long-wheelbase 911 donor vehicle, the company strips each chassis to its bare shell for "reinvention" into what Singer calls a "celebration of the golden air-cooled era of the world's most important sports car."

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.

^ you are right. You pay allot to buy, but resale will be high as well because it is a singer....not just some dude who paid $300k to get a 964 retrograded at a shop

the singer 911 is uber kool, but if I had $300k....I would buy a 997 GT3rs 4.0 for $225,000 and buy a used 997.1 turbo for my daily

in Singer's defense, a car like this is meant to be sold to those who already own all of the cars you listed :p

I can't seem to find any videos on how this car drives. I wonder if Singer will lend out their demo car to some car reviewers.

I will take a nice older car over a new one any day. I don't want dual zone climate controls, or a fucking computer screen in my car after I look at one at home and work.

That interior is hot. It comes with: a gear shifter...manual. A steering wheel...round. Heat. Done.

Love it.

In all honesty, (And i'm sure this will change within a week) but if someone told me i could have ANY car in the world atm, I'd pick a Singer 911 in white.

Same here, except in the green.

Just the rawness of the car, the craftsmanship, the quality and handiwork of interior materials. So much character yet understated.

If we are talking cars you can buy new, as opposed to picking up a classic, I think I may be in the same boat. Green for me though please.:fullofwin:

Just found this video and then searched for a thread on the Singer 911, and behold...

Those who haven't watched the video from Drive, I highly recommend it :ahwow:

They say they go for up to $500,000. Honestly, I'd take one over a new Lambo or Ferrari any day. A true driver's and enthusiasts car. Anyone can buy an Aventador for status for the same price...but it's somehow not as cool.

Dat dish...:sweetjesus:

It's just so goddamned perfect. Watching the vid, I kept getting reminded of the Bullit chase.

If only someone made a new movie starring this car.
