I just saw this on autoblog and love it. It’s basically an 80’s 911 given the resto-mod treatment
(staying true to the roots they made it better in every way).
\>400 HP (NA), carbon body, better interior, etc etc…
> [Singer Vehicle Design](http://www.singervehicledesign.com/) 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.

I wonder how much those mesh filters are killing air flow.

it’s 425HP, 2400lbs, and you’re worried about the mesh filters?

Probably very very little impact. I bet that mesh can flow 1000+CFM. Each cylinder is probably only looking for 300CFM max.

They look like inserts, I bet they pop right out of the trumpets. I bet that thing can go a lot faster than 170, too.
