klokwerk,

I can't recommend their book enough. The process is amazing, but what's even more amazing is the process that they went through to develop the carbon fiber parts - all detailed in the book. There is nothing that I have read about Singer that isn't super impressive. Truth, I bought a 964 for the specific purpose of getting it reimagined by Singer one day. Not a bad car to enjoy until then.

I'll ask the Mrs. to pick it up for me for Valentine's Day! :-)

911Jetta

‘We spent years sweating spring rates, damping rates, cambers and ride height,’ continues Rob Dickinson. ‘I knew this stuff was vitally important from my time at Lotus. We wanted this car to be a triple set; it had to look great, be built like a Rolex and go down the road like a f**king weapon. It had to drive like no air-cooled car before it. We needed a modern 911 platform if we were going to put so much power into the car.

That drove us to the 964, this fantastic hybrid of old-school 911 at the back and reasonably 20th century thinking at the front. We knew it had front geometry you could put good damping on, beautiful power steering and ABS, and that if we took weight out, optimised the engine and tweaked the brakes only good things could happen. A lot of our guys have come from 997 911s – we’re introducing them to this fabulous world of air-cooled Porsches – so we questioned the sense in offering them something with the whiff of an antique about it.’
