Still have no idea why they wouldn't use a 993 as the chassis/style of their cars.

I like the way they slipped in references to a couple of dudes, Norbert Singer and Hans Mezger.

Meh ! i guess I'm the voice of the purists for once and only once ,yes it looks cool as hell BUT its like a cross between
a later GT2 and a RSR ...interesting but a tad too busy
especially in the rear with that under foil thingy..

and I can find a hell of a lot better places to stash $500K
give or take a few hundred though that would make me a lot happier than this ...sorry, Bert

I know I'm in the minority here, but I think it looks "over-done", or maybe over-modernized is the right term. To my eyes early long hood 911's need cleaner lines when upgraded even in widebody form. The rear diffuser just looks wrong, and that interior........yuk.

I wouldn't kick it out of the garage, but I would certainly spend my money differently. It's just too much for my tastes. ( I do love the centerlock Fuchs )

My guess would be that it has something to do with a) ability to visually backdate the car for the classic appeal, and b) the suspension geometry allows for deep dish wheels

Too much 2020 in 1990'ish. Love the concept but not the execution, kind of like the new/ old RUF's. And that interior... I'd rather spend my Mil on that black 1951 Pre A that everyone bitched was overpriced!

This car, its Singer predecessors, and the Guntherwerks car, are all stunning things. To all those involved in their creation (and underwriting), Thank you. The fact that they exist in our too-ugly world speaks volumes about the rare goodness and beauty in the minds of these artists.

But they ain't Porsches. Never were. Certainly aren't now.

They have virtually none of the things that made (make) Porsches Porsches. Usability. Utility.
Attainability. Quirks. Small (and not-so-small) weaknesses. That most unique Porsche talent--connection/communication with the driver.

These Singers et al are magnificent. Breath-taking. True works of genius, dedication, and art.

And very nearly un-driveable.

You aren't going away for a weekend in them. No cross-country. No grocery store. No restaurant. Not in a million dollar rolling Picasso.

Bless them all. But don't confuse them with genuine Porsches.

Glad to hear I am not the only one who feels that way.

I don't think you can buy this car for a million dollars. I think the Singer/Williams Engine Package starts at $900k right off the bat, separate from the chassis/options.


This is what my Singer Internal guy is telling me.
