    Blueflame, have you considered the new colour Bamboo metallic (I think that is it's name?). Here is it is a PTS on 991.2 targa and it looks like it will be a regular offering on the facelifted Macan as there are pictures of it going down the production line on the web.

    The color on the Macan is Mamba green

    Whoopsy:

    It is indeed a impressive project.

    It will be going off on auction Oct 27th.

    My guess is it will easily go over a million dollars. Maybe even 2.

     

    Even at my top end I still under value the car by a good 50%!

    2.7Mil Euros is 3.1M US. 

    Sometimes it's hard to put a price on a 1 of 1. There won't be any comparables.

    It isn't matter if Singer can do restorations better than Porsche, at the end of the day it's just a Singer, not a Porsche. Even if it is considered a Porsche, it is only a restored 964.

    At Rennsport Reunion, Porsche cars are grouped by kind in the parking lot, guess where the arriving Singers got directed to? The 964 lot, same as every other restored 964s, there isn't a Singer lot.

    That 993 doesn't look much different from the original cars but I agree, Singer uses a much more simplistic design, no doubt and the tech is probably newer.

    My favorite "classic" Porsche is still a 964 RS I saw once many many years ago. The car looked 100% original with the exception of the exhaust system (had a very thick single exhaust pipe). The "secret" of this car? It had a RS Tuning tuned 964 Turbo engine with over 450 hp. This car was so fast (not only straight line) and sounded amazing, can't forget it. Kind of a Singer predecessor if you want. Smiley

    I assume an american bought the car, does somebody know if you can make this car road legal?


    Re: Porsche Project Gold - the 993 turbo S re-imagined by Porsche Classic

    I wouldn’t get this car over a Singer, not even close...

    Was he the Singer or the guitarist?

    Some people here tend to forget that the money spent for the above car is donated, I personally wouldn’t mind paying that sum in those circumstances. I donated some of my money already, that’s why I didn’t buy it. Smiley


    Re: Porsche Project Gold - the 993 turbo S re-imagined by Porsche Classic

    Singer is Fabulous.

    Period.

    it's the stuff of dreams.

    All this drivel about pedigree by nay sayers is immaterial.

    Nothing in the current Porsche line up ignites passions like a Singer, this uber expensive gold garage queen included. 

    End of discussion.

    Mike drop.

     


    Re: Porsche Project Gold - the 993 turbo S re-imagined by Porsche Classic

    Umm ... has anyone paid $3.1MM for a Singer, which is just a restomod 964?  No.

    Singer for sure and probably playing guitar. I spend interesting time with the guy while he was presenting his car in UAE. he is a nice guy and passionate about Porsche.

    Singer's are Porsche's dialled up to 11 (which you can see in the rpm gauge) there is nothing even close in the market ! Porsche owners who are pissed about driving into a different parking lot surely have a very small........ego......

    Re: Porsche Project Gold - the 993 turbo S re-imagined by Porsche Classic

    I love Singers too, and I know Rob personally. 

    I love looking at one, driving one, seeing one, but I will never pay for one,.

    At the end of the day, it's just a Singer, not a Porsche. Actually not even, Singer is not classified as a manufacturer like Ruf, so it's a Porsche modified by Singer.

    Details Rob do is on par with Pagani, but that's also another brand I wouldn't pay money for.

    What would you drive if you could just have 1 Sportscar ? ( and I mean drivable every day) Even if you say the Turbo Exclusive (which is fantastic) it's nowhere close to a Singer product.

    Yes it would be the Exclusive.

    Apart from a few items, the Exclusive trumps the Singer in practically every category.

    AWD vs RWD

    607HP vs 500HP

    Modern interior with Nav screen vs well, old interior without nav screen

    PDK vs manual

    Comfortable and supportive 18 way seats vs race buckets lined with top shelf material

    Airbags vs no airbags

    Modern crash structure vs 1990s crash standard structures

    Singer cars are toys. Period. Owners of them have numerous cars and no owner of a Singer will drive it every day, there is just too much compromises. They are taken out to be driven once in a while.

    as much as I agree to the above you're still sitting in a mass product with every option ticket maybe - but to me not comparable to the craftsmanship of a Singer. As to the TurboS itself I have to agree that nowadays maybe the best Porsche product Smiley (and that from a NA fan Smiley)
