trust me it's worth what they are charging. they literally use the best suppliers in the world for their product. if you look at it on the surface doesn't seem like it's a 300-600k car but you look closer and closer then it's like holy ****

i mean ed pink does their engines, nothing more to say.

Ya, sorry. Disagree. It's a nice car and all, but it's a tiny car, with not much stuff in it. the 400-600k price tag is about 200-300k high. Sure, their parts are high quality, but so are those in a Rolls, which still isn't this much. Better parts than an F12 - not even close... I'd have the F12. I do love the Singer, but at 150-200k.

600K? An RS is 200K? It's very cool but in the end it's a bitsa.

Love these cars. Are the seats Recaro? If so or if not, who can re-upholster them with funky new fabric.

For 600K there would be a few other vehicles I would entertain to purchase.

I think there is something special about getting a car made exactly how you want it. I'm not a customer for a $600k car as I like having variety in my garage, but cost no object I would have this before any of the modern hypercars.

One has to ask, and I truly appreciate SVD, is it still a Porsche?

I'd make sure I had lots of tree fertilizer on hand. With more on order.

This is exactly what I think. It's a Singer kit car since it's Porsche frame (to pass titling in the USA) with a whole bunch of custom fab'd stuff and parts from various model cars.

Does anyone know what type of warranty they give?

No we didn't!

It's almost twice as damn expensive as a 997 4.0 RS or a Speciale.

No.

Rather have a CGT, to be honest.
