The GT3 should have stayed manual AND air-cooled

Interesting. Did you get a price for the option (i.e., does this motor add $1MM to the price with a base engine)? Or is the car that comes with this motor further developed from past Singer models as well (more Williams parts and lightening)?

I'd consider buying this motor in a crate for $100k, but not for $1MM...

We want small specialty manufacturers like this to exist and thrive. I wish Singer all the best, they are true gearheads and visionaries. I didn't mean to cast shade on them in any way.

Williams don't build f1 engines - their F1 program is really struggling now given they're running an AMG power unit, which is clearly the best available.
If only Singer had partnered with Adrian Newey for body panel design, McLaren for carbon part manufacturering...
Not really sure who has the best air cooled capability, but I wouldn't expect it to be Williams. Only link they have is the Martini livery...
