Race Car
There's a fairly famous long hood car (a 912, in fact) fitted with a GT3 Cup Car motor that was the brainchild of Hayden at Wevo and the owner, who I'm pretty sure is also an engineer. It's not just a big-motor-in-a-little-car, but also a project where all the peripheral stuff was done to the nines.
There are a lot of ways to look at this kind of project, of course. Magnus is pure style. Singers are shooting for something with a set of accomplishments (and compromises) that a hundred wealthy guys could agree on as the ultimate early street car and cafe racer.
This one was just a one-off. But if I was the target buyer, then it's also the one that just might out-Singer the Singer. It goes by the not-very-catchy name of 'PVX.'
GT3DE, you might want to take a look at these links, if you haven't already. (In my book, you're doing 'God's work.'

Huge number. I suspect it's not at face value. But no matter, the Singer will be a shrewd investment and a fun car. Just weather the next US economic crash. For every dollar you put into cars, put a $1.25 into commodities and all will be well. : )

wow! Impressive.
I didnt see that one comming.
Considering the cost to replicate it I thought for sure $150k if somebody had to have it.

Big money for an interesting, but not truly exceptional car. Superquant is much better off with the Singer, although he will be in even deeper by the time he is done.

As for this outlaw car, there's no reason to take the auction number at face value. Things happen around those high profile auctions. I think the most generous interpretation would be to suppose this could have been a marketing stunt. The price might be a product of one or two bidders unprepared for the hurly-burly, show and shenanigans that goes on around the auctioneers that delight in fleecing cashed-up buyers willing to pay $100K+ for a $20K VW bus, so a quarter mill for a $70K hot rod is not without precedent
