    Beautiful cars but almost seem to stray too far from what made Singer originally special as perfecting the air cooled 911.

    For some reason this one doesn't sound as great as the previous Singer DLS from last year's Goodwood.

    One of the few times that the Singers will be seen on the road, albeit a closed one.  These cars are destined to be put away in collections.

    Guess they were still fully opened exhausts and these ones are homologated? Still sounds insane imo.

    I thought Porsche did not like Singer as they are competing for the same clients.

    Not even close.

    A Singer is 1.8 mil. Nothing Porsche sells cost that much.

    And Porsche hasn't offered an air-cooled car for almost 25 years...

    Re: Singer 911 DLS...

    The original Singers were about 400-500k USD I think.

    They can not sell these engines anymore due to emissions regulations. I wonder why replacing the engine in a 964 chassis doesn't trigger any emissions control regulations in California. I think a new Singer will never pass TUV in Europe, or am I wrong?


    Re: Singer 911 DLS...

    Technically they are not new cars so they pass based on the 962 regs in place back then.

    The very first ones were between 300 to 380k...then jack up the price to 500K range with the 4.0L

    That's how it works in US, but maybe it's different in Europe.

    And the 4.0L in the DLS multiplies the price several-fold...

    Re: Singer 911 DLS...

    vintage restomods in germany to pass registration have to have at least emissions as was or better than when originally released to market.

    plastic windows also cause issues for road legality.

    uk is much more relaxed and basically anything goes.


    Re: Singer 911 DLS...

    I think $300k was the sweet spot. Now they are getting too cartoonish. Overwrought is what is on the top of my tongue. Like some mix of retro Pagani and 70s 911.  Makes me want to just restore to original condition.  Even some of the Magnus Walker cars are looking more interesting
