So Singer took what 1/2 of the pcar 911 community does to their longhood/80’s era chassis, added some xenons and OEM 996 boxster aero, and made it a turn key purchase.
Not taking away from them at all, just really funny to me. It’s like PelicanParts circa 2005 meets Alois Ruf :lol
Car does look nice though. Fuchs are a total fav of mine, and now as oversized and stretched replicas they’re even better.

> _Singer Vehicle Design rolled out its first prototype, plainly named the “Singer 911,” at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance last month. Based on an '80s-era long-wheelbase 911 donor vehicle, the company strips each chassis to its bare shell for “reinvention” into what Singer calls a “celebration of the golden air-cooled era of the world’s most important sports car.”_
_> Incontestable is its vintage Porsche 911 look. However, the Singer 911 is far from antiquated. The complete reincarnation includes chassis stiffening, new active aerodynamics, and a lightweight integral backbone structure and roll cage to improve torsional rigidity. Most interestingly, nearly all of the steel body panels are replaced by full carbon fiber composite bodywork candy-coated in Singer’s exclusive “Racing Orange” paint._
_> Under the rear decklid is an air-cooled 3.82-liter flat-six sporting six individual throttle bodies. With a GT3 crankshaft and titanium connecting rods, the powerplant spins eagerly to 8,000 RPM. The engine sends 425 horsepower and 340 lb-ft of torque to a proper Getrag G50 six-speed manual transmission. According to the engineering team, the 2,400-pound Singer 911 will sprint to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds. Top speed is in excess of 170 MPH._
_> Under the skin are Moton shock absorbers, Eibach coil-overs, and Smart Racing Products adjustable sway bars. The four-piston brakes are sourced from the race-bred Porsche 930. Completing the performance package, and appearing period-correct, are the custom Zuffenhaus forged aluminum three-piece “Fuchs” wheels._
_> Singer’s attention to detail carries throughout the vehicle… with a decidedly modern touch. State-of-the-art Hella bi-xenon headlamps reside within the headlight buckets, while a special lightweight air-conditioning system keeps occupants cool (keen eyes will notice that even the 911’s windshield wipers have been relocated to the optimal center-mounted “993” position). The audio system includes satellite radio, iPod, and Bluetooth connectivity. Navigation assistance is provided by a Garmin-sourced GPS._
_> The Singer 911 isn’t for everyone, and its still-unannounced pricing will reflect that exclusivity. Touted by Singer as “the love child of a 1967 911S, a 1973 911 Carrera RS and a 1996 993 RS,” the car is crafted for the passionate car enthusiast who is seeking a viscerally intense vehicle, surprising sophisticated, yet very reliable. It’s an emotional thing. **If the Singer 911 doesn’t drop your jaw at first glance, it probably never will.** _
> _Singer has promised Autoblog a drive and full review before the end of the year, so stay tuned._
