As a current singer owner, I was presented this car quite a while ago...it's wild for sure but the price is freaking ridiculous IMHO.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Singer. As many of you know I own a lot of Porsches...for me, the CGT and Singer are the tops of the heap and most often of all my cars the one that gets driven is the Singer. The R for work or local drives...but the Singer is very very special.
That said, I'd definitely add a first gen DLS if I could find one....but not one of these new ones.
That is exactly what my friend said. He was an owner of an original Singer and just did a shake down in LA with his DLS. He has no desire for the the new 934/5 tribute and trust me, he is one of the few people who can actually swing it. That being said, he only was able to drive the DLS for a few days but it should be out on the Eastcoast soon.
One aspect of the DLS which was NEVER mentioned to him during his five year wait was the need for an engine out for basically any servicing on the car. I am sure that Singer assumed that the owners wouldn't care but that basically means the DLS needs to be shipped to LA for service, unlike the original Singers where they allowed certain shops to work on the vehicles.
Obviously not a deal breaker for those lucky enough the order a DLS but something my friend was not exactly happy about! Hiro
I would be very concerned with the DLS and any of the newer versions with the intakes in the rear windows. On a track car it is one thing but like the GT4RS it causes lack of visibility but more so the excessive noice from the intake inside the car.
Seems they are getting desperate to come up with something unique. If the build quality has improved, which I did notice was superior on the turbo Study release car, I would be happy with a recreation of some of the magnificent machines already built and raced in the past.
Even this looks like a caricature to me. I love deep dish wheels but these are a bit much IMO. Styling and build was better than the earlier cars I have seen and driven. It all looks cool but what does it do to actually improve the 964 it is built off of? I have not found them to be anything but a well planted 964 at the end of the day and each one I have seen has had issues after only a short period of time. I have a few friends that work on a couple and a few that own them. There are quite a few in NJ. I would consider a guntherwerks over a singer but so many other cars I would consider first for far less that offer me as much if not more.
But really what does all this get you but expensive repair bills?
No that is the Bridge's requirement. If the car is on a steep hill they want to be sure nobody accidentally rolls into another Million dollar car. The RS in the background has one as well. LOL
The engine to that car is up for sale on Pelican. IIRC he was asking $200k. CF doesn't burn or hold up well to damage. Give me steel all day and the weight savings isn't as much as you would think. Just do what they did for the RS or Cup's and eliminate the undercoating and you ill find the sheet metal doesn't weigh all that much.

Crazy, those singer motors can be built for much less.
