Back dated 993. Very nice job. kinda like the back dated 964 Singer.

Not easy to find affordable 964 or 993 donors nowadays....

You cant beat the ride of a 993 IMO

Their reasoning behind the project is essentially that the 993 is ugly and unloved. I can't really get behind that.

i think they just wanted the looks of a long hood with the technology of the 993.
Nothing against the 993.

It is neat, and I'm sure it is a fun drive. The fit and finish is not on Singer level though. However neat they are, I don't think those modern recaros are doing the car any favors.

Keen eye.
You are right.
The modern chairs do not go with the rest of the date themed body.

From their page:
A hardly appealing 1990ish design, but the best air-cooled standard technology that ever has left the Zuffenhausen factories.

In the light of this elementary insight, we more and more became acquainted with the idea to honour this perfect piece of engineering with the look that it actually deserves.

Nicely built car, but they didn't need to resort to such statement about 993. Movie feels like a C class Mercedes commercial. Also, great American English accent combined with a superb voice from someone who seems to be German.
