EDIT G11 997 Remake Is a More Affordable Singer Restomod
Czech-Republic based Porsche modification company is making a Wish.com Singer restomod for 997 generation models.
In the heart of the Czech-Republic is EDIT Automotive, a band of independent Porsche modifiers akin to Singer Automotive, is advertising a unique spin on 997 generation Porsches. On either a 911, Carrera, Cabriolet 4, 4S or 4 GTS, EDIT made minimal changes — but they’re not minimalist enough to not be noticeable. What other outlets are noticing, though, is that a lot of these changes are suspiciously close to what the reputable Singer Automotive would do.
EDIT’s creation (or edits) is called the EDIT g11 — heavily inspired by the 997 generation 911. The front and rear fascia’s have been swapped, with the taillights noticeably lower to the ground. The logo in the middle is what’s causing some chins to be scratched, as it looks eerily similar to Singer’s logo. Headlights are also replaced with more futuristic halo lights, new wheels are added with bigger tires, and EDIT’s logos replace all the Porsche logos.
On EDIT’s website, their process is described as disassembling the car and replacing “important” and “old worn out” parts with new ones, complete with a total rebuild of the engine, and then it’s reassembled with EDIT’s upgrades. A customized exhaust is added, as well as carbon ceramic brakes, and a custom paint job completes the g11. Most notable, though, is that EDIT will only make 99 of them.
The interior of the vehicle was also completely rehauled. According to EDIT, the infotainment system and radio were removed and replaced with an analog radio, completely removing the elements that would “distract” you from driving. To increase the overall driving experience, EDIT also swapped out the stick shift with a short throw kit, making an already nimble car feel that much lighter on its feet.
Now, for the price. Incredibly, all these customizations will only cost $187,450. Which is still a high figure, but it’s a hell of a lot less that what you’d pay for a Singer edition Porsche.
