As a lover of early 911's the Singer is the one for me!

Very nice cars but given the rarity of both how could one drive these cars at anything nearing 10/10's indefinitely? Unless you are sinfully rich, the risk is always in the back of your head.

To my eyes the Singer is the far more attractive car and is the one I'd much prefer to own. But that was not the OP's question.

So...for a half hour of fun on the track, definitely the RS 4.0.

This is a fantasy scenario, one which I am inclined to add the KMR car to, at this point.
My 0.2$
I think if you don't own either it might take the average driver more than 30 minutes to really appreciate one or the other.....

..Singer too ! (ZERO hesitation)

Here is a photo of #008, taken at Quail, few days ago.
(With Mr. Rob Dickinson ..the Singer (of Catherine Wheel) on the phone, on the side of it.)





One thing is for sure: It is a much rarer and much harder to get, ..knowing that the original business plan was to build 2 or 3 of them by year, and now, ..they have more than 40 on order.

Singer does not have 40 orders on the books.
