Take a look at our current super-Lightweight-project. Serves as a basis, this time a Porsche 964 C2 (MJ 1990) In Linen-metallic with g50 manual.
Our objectives are unambiguous:
Colour: Porsche Signal-Yellow
Weight: Max. 960 kg without fuel
Chassis: KW-Clubsport + unibal
Rims: Oz Ultra Leggera 3-part
Engine: 3.8 l with min. 330 PS
... And the rest? Let yourself be surprised!!!

If everything is going to be composite why did they bother building them identical to the factory steel quarters? There would be no need to go through that much aggravation.

356/935/964 Mashup! The #356RSR will soon revive its spinal transplant and #nosejob. #momoinmyhands #momowheels #porsche356
I'm hoping it turns out better than this one. LOL!

Not a 964-based backdate but a 993-based backdate. The car looks really good.

(^^^^^ links?)Saw that too (had to double check it was a 993??!). Couple interesting interior ideas.
Now we're that RL post saying/explaining why Singer had to use a 964 instead of a 993...
Looks like the starting point:

Nice bits from KAGE
Interesting. 993 handles, with all the other shiny bits
What's in the box?

Glad to see 993's chopped up for a change.
Although for me this fails in the same way the singer does. The SC front rubber lip front facia, 993 style long side sills and wiper spacing just don't work for me. A tremendous amount of work but unless something different is done to address these areas it still looks wrong to my eye which is immediately drawn to it taking away from the rest of the work.
Nice effort though.

Nicely done! Plus, saves a 964 in the process.

even the company logos are strikingly similar - Singer over 'reimagined' and Kaege over 'retro'!! who copied who? that is just ridiculously close in concept and design. both look great, but the Singer interior seems to far exceed the Kaege interior, imo. as has been said, at least we're not losing more 964s to the Kaege cars.

Do want all of the carbon pieces. I'm actually kind of fond of the interior, not too crazy. I like the slight relocation of emergency switches in the middle.
But on the comparison to singer, I wonder what they price these at.
Saw this on ebay, price is kinda hard to believe ~150

Forward dating? Not good...
It does give you an idea of how shorter bumpers would look like on a 964. Kinda.
