Matt Farah gets sweaty palms, kills a squirrel, quotes Colin Chapman at high speed and gets a wave-by while having some fun with this beast...

Wouldn't mind borrowing it for the weekend, just to see what it is like. But the thought of driving a car worth more than twice the cost of my house, would make me nervous.

Interesting build, and obviously I am a huge fan of the 993 lines. while I am not in the position to spend that kind of coin on a car, I think I would opt for a Singer over the Guntherwerks between the two of those, however, I'd probably look a a Ruf before either of those. In all honesty, all of them are way beyond my driving ability anyway, so is my current 993 for that matter. It is fun to dream and think about owning such a supercar, though like HalfGerman stated, I'd probably be worried about driving around in something so valuable.
1/18 model on my mantle would be nice though! Then I could both the Guntherwerks AND the Singer!

Not a giant fan of the whole thing they have going on but they sure nailed the sound. 7:51 on this video of the same car is perfect. WOW. Mute the first 5 minutes if you don't want to hear "bespoke" 50 times (ignore that if youre playing the bespoke drinking game).

Not a real fan for the whole car, especially at $500k. But I am wondering if they will sell some of the parts individually? I think some of the interior carbon fiber bits looks pretty cool!

I think it looks awful and fat. I saw it in person at DRT in Miami and it looks like an over inflated 993 cartoon. The craftsmanship was excellent but that’s pretty much it for me.
For that amount I rather get a Ruf

I'm a fan of both singer and guntherwerks and the grassroot engineering behind them. Grassroots in that their r&d budget is likely far less than one percent of Porsches budget, yet these guys can turn out these amazing cars. I'm not in a position to buy one, but if I did have 500k for a car, I for sure would consider one over say a 'new' 500k car. And not just for the car, but to support the craftmanship industry behind it, which by far and long seems to be a dying breed these days.
