I love (LOVE) Singer, but why doesn't Porsche get in on the party and make a classic longhood style (widebody for me please!) throwback with modern amenities??
A very good question, for me the Singer is a work of art, but not my perfect picture, a little too retro styling in places, I do like the Williams Singer very much, but with my dreaming hat on, not 100% sure of the arches shapes in silhouette, a little too 'flat' on the top.
If money was no object, I'd drive a number of older 911's (I have but a long time ago, not sure how my old RS would feel now) then modify to my liking and do a bit of a Magnus Walker on the car and make a personal statement. The Run is lovely and has more credibility, but it still looks a little too recreated 964 and £1m buys more than that doesn't it ?
But if money was no object and it was Ruf OR Singer, my heart goes Singer, my head Ruf. I think my head would win and I'd be looking at the CTR, it's what Ruf is all about
While I respect what Ruf has done and I like their cars, this price would seem crazy at least and downright insane at best. The market is clearly inflated and I much rather buy a real Porsche (e.g., GT2RS) than any tuner car - and for less than half the cost.
If money is an object and you still want a RUF, my local pcar dealer just got a beautiful red 987 Cayman RUF originally built for Mrs. RUF. LWB, aero, lots of HP, 30K something miles and very reasonable for a RUF VIN car. Zero affiliation with any potential sale but if anyone wants pics send me a PM and I'll go take a couple as it isn't on their web site yet.
Attended a private first viewing of the singer lightweight car this evening. .. oh boy, I must say this thing is like a complicated watch in the flesh.. utterly intriguing and fascinating in every detail. Almost too pretty to drive.
I still have my copy of Road and Track's World's Fastest Car from 87. I love everything about Ruf, always have...but the Williams Singer is the car I would most like to own on the planet. Period. It is the ultimate halo car for my taste. If I had one I'd sleep on the floor of the garage next to it.
