This appears to be a purpose built car more in line with the Porsche philosophy. No radio and spartan interior IMO works much better than all the fancy stuff.

I am curious if they will add the leather engine compartment sound deadening or if it will be more focused on weight and necessity.

One thing I would do differently is a fluted front headlight vs the clear glass. Still not loving the clear glass look.

I guess they will have to give me this one and start over LOL.

The details are outstanding.

From the exhausts in white memory of old formulas peaking through behind the license plate to the seats retaining the "original look" but hollow to save weight.

Love it.

I hated the 1st gen and I will never get over all the wonderful 964's being chopped up but this is just over the top Gorgeous. Even the added on flairs initially were not my cup of tea but they have quickly grown on me.

This is a car worthy of being called reimagined and I have to give them credit where credit is due. All the the things I hated about the first gen they seem to have addressed. Maybe it is the collaboration that seems to carry through with a peace of art on wheels.

I love the colors and the interior and just about everything else. I need to see this in person and this would be worthy of me selling off my cars for.

There done I said it.
+964... Exact same feelings Anthony, I love everything about it. Note to self: must win the lottery.

Now's your chance to corner the market on used undertrays! Once these photos hit the magazines, the price for them is going to go through the roof.

According to Singer, a client will be able to spec the coupe "stripped bare for dynamic savagery, dressed for intercontinental touring or pitched somewhere between those extremes."
Hopefully most will be built for "dynamic savagery"

Speaking of sunroof, look at the roof line with integrated roof/rear window air deflector!

Love the single wiper and new mirrors.

Yahoo, we agree

A very ambitious step ahead for Singer as a company

I've been waiting for this to go public for quite sometime, I was trying to put into words what was coming but without saying anything

A lot of aero development work has gone into the shape you can see and even more on the shapes you can't see. Ignore the obvious but lots of subtle aero improvements have all been combined to make what I think is a stunning looking car

Less reimagineering more engineering just how I like my cars

I just want mine in another color!! Not a fan of that green...

OK, but really, it is obviously an amazing piece of work!!! Stunning. And while we all know the performance will be impressive as well, we are all still waiting to hear just how impressive!!

Bravo.

my wet dream.

Everything about it is beautiful. Design. Engineering. Everything.
They really knocked it out of the park. Manufacturer fit and finish!

It will be most likely too expensive to drive or park anywhere within reason.
But if you can afford it, you must have one IMO!

This makes the current Singers look like T models. lol.

Id still take a regular Singer if given the opportunity however.

LOL,

I applaud your ability to keep this quiet. I picked up on the nuances immediately and I am sorry we disagreed about the gen 1 but my opinion still stands regarding those. When they released the initial engine pics I was curious how they would deal with the rear quarter windows. What I see is a brilliant solution and it just flows throughout the build. The interior is brilliant and the shifter outstanding. They truly outdid themselves in every respect.

I appreciate that only 75 964's will be sacrificed. My one dream is that they offer an upgrade package and sacrifice only gen 1 singers LOL. You can't blame me for dreaming.
