Thanks for sharing JP. The Singer is a car to aspire to.

(Sorry, I'm in the minority that can't get his head around over-the-top torsion bar chassis cars. Life's moved on, and in my old age power steering and a cushy ride that can still outperform the old platform in a package I can still work on wins.)
I read somewhere here on Rennlist, that Colin Belton has been working on Singer to use the 964 platform, being it is way superior compared to the older torsion bar chassis and already has the suspension in place; should bring the cost down some.

Rob Dickinson, Singer Vehicles' Creative Director, mentions Colin as he introduces the prototype Singer 911 Aug '09 at the Laguna Seca Monterey Historics:

I just read the third customer Singer's now in the queue.

Including the prototype: orange, green, soon two whites.

Which jumped straight to explaining how they're built on a 964 chassis. Bit of lousy reporting there. In any case, it makes more sense given what the overall goal is with the 3.6L-based engines.

Would love to see the financials, even on the hoped for 10-12/yr. production goal.
