@First Last Performance wise? Some Ferraris are faster, some are slower. Emotionally? Sentimentally? This car makes cry tears of joy everytime I see it. It is essentially Porsche perfection, and that makes my inner Ferdinand happy.
@victortodea52635 жыл бұрын
@First Last This is a very specific thing. If you're not into air cooled Porsches you probably won't see the beauty. Of course Ferraris are special, and there's a lot of them that could absolutely compete and demolish a Singer, but this a special thing. It's meant for a fanatic (as Jay Leno said), same way a 250 GTO will probably make your knickers drop, this makes every Porsche fan giggle with joy.
@victortodea52635 жыл бұрын
@First Last Depends on your budget I suppose. I know German car prices are a bit mental, but generally you will find Audi's are cheaper. I don't know how insurance works over there but I assume an Audi or a Mercedes is quite expensive for a first car. Most importantly, don't listen to random people on the internet. Get in one, try it out, see what speaks to your heart, cause at the end of the day, you must like it, not the person waiting for the bus judging you.

I love cars. I am obsessed with them. Old and new. I was born in Southern California and, in high school, I loved pulling my Volkswagen Beetle into the driveway to wash it on warm breezy day. Fast forward 15 years. I moved to NYC to be an artist. I am carless and it's killing me. I feel stuck. Trapped on this island with no way out. Rental cars are not the answer. They are lifeless. My only respite is to spend countless hours researching and dreaming about cars through this inflexible glowing screen. From the Toyota Prius to the Rolls Royce Phantom, all cars are noble expressions of human engineering, ingenuity, and creativity. For me, however, there is one car that sits at the apex of all others. If I can own just one automobile in the world it would be a Porsche by Singer, specifically the 911 Targa. I do not say this flippantly. Yes, the 911 Targa is a masterpiece at the level of Michelangelo's Pieta. It's sculpture meets open air motoring. Every curve, every detail is excruciatingly crafted. It is so beautiful that, upon a glance, Medusa herself would turn to stone. My hairs stand up on the back of my neck. My arms and legs go numb. My whole body trembles. I weep. In the end, I don't know how I will ever be able to afford a Porsche by Singer. Now my dream becomes my nightmare...

Beautiful words, friend. I'd like to share my experience here, too: I love automobiles. Mostly classic ones, some new. I was born in Northwest Araçatuba city (530km from Sao Paulo City-Brazil). I have always been the best in school, super smart and intelligent, but things changed. I had a big depression for 7 years (from 15yrs to 22yrs). I felt I lost everything, I was not the best anymore, but I still got something in me that keept me going (thanks to one japanese Life Philosophy). I moved to Sao Paulo (capital) when I was 22, and I'm 26 now. I've been travelling around the world, been visiting more than 8 countries, and I'm going to japan for the third time. I'm working on what I love for the past years (i'm self taugh 3d artist) and I have big projects with big clients. But, I still have no car. Brazil suffered a big crisis in the past years, and things were not great, super inflation, democrats ruining the country (for 13 years) and so on. Also, cars in Brazil have ridiculous taxes, like, a Ford Fusion costs 40,000 usd, and a classic Porsche targa, around 120,000 usd. If it's hard to get a regular car, imagine for a sports classic one. The less I have, is the more I want. I've never been so determined as now. So conscient as now. It's 00h30am on a saturday and I'm listening this video while I work. I'm doing 10x more than a average brazilian would do. I really want a Porsche 911 reimagined by Singer. Be blessed you are in US. Free market, makes it easier. Our frustantion, is certanly taking ourselves further. Change your mind, and you can change your environment you live in.

This is incredible. It's genuinely beautiful - you might go on and on about performance and whether or not you'd have this or a new 911, but this isn't supposed to be an alternative, it's a designed to complement other 911s. You'd take this out now and then and every single time you'd feel like a king. And I would wager that anyone who owns one of these owns at least one other 911 as well. As Jay said mid way in "this is fanaticism."

Although I am by no means a porsche expert, I can't help but think of how Singer could do wonders to an old and tired 993, arguably the greatest air cooled iteration of Porsche's 911 of all time. With it's sumptuous curves and small delicate frame, the 993 could represent the basis of Singer's progression to a newer generation of 911's. That being said, the porsche 964 has proven to be quite a successful foundation upon which to build such an amazing specimen of a vehicle.

Yep. If I won tonights $30 million lotto, I'd be flying over to Rob and handing over a deposit. Probably for 2 cars! People whinge and moan about the Singer Porsche saying it's sacrilege to modify a 911. Why? There are thousands of cars that just sit in garages all around the world collecting dust by owners who don't give a shit. Magnus' STR was sold at such a high price because someone jumped on his bandwagon just so they could say it was Magnus' car. He's a cool bloke and I like his builds, yet it's been done before and that STR was not worth $300k! As Rob said, it's all about marketing for the mildly eccentric MW. A lot of people would be very surprised at how cheap a good 911 is to buy and modify. I know because I have a 912 I'm restoring now, and I'm far from rich! Singer is obviously out of the reach of most people, but for the Porsche enthusiast like me, it just doesnt get any better than a Singer. I'll take mine in Slate grey thanks Rob, right hand drive and delivered to South Australia please! No matching luggage though thanks

Antoine Jameson Yeah. Which would you rather have? A fully tricked out Singer made exactly to your personal preferences, or a 918? Remember, you'd never be able to get close to the 918's limits on the street... we can only go so fast in the real world. I know it's not really fair to compare the Singer to the 918, they're totally different animals. The 918 is one of the fastest cars in the world right now and is loaded with technology that is suitable for the space program, while the Singer is more of a peice of jewlrey you can drive. Which one would it be? Here's another question... Mclaren 650S, Ferrari 458, or Lamborghini Huracan?
@dzarsos9 жыл бұрын
Honestly, I think I'd have to go with the 918. When I think about tricking out the Singer, all I can picture is making the interior as much like the 918 as possible. And then I think about that dual lifted exhaust, firing out blue flames in racing mode and... yeah, I just want it. This would feel like a consolation prize. The best consolation prize possible, but still.

Antoine Jameson How about the McLaren 650S vs Ferrari 458? How do you feel about the McLarens in general, the 12C, the new 650, the P1... I honestly think the 650S is the best all-around sports car on the market right now.
@dzarsos9 жыл бұрын
Hmm... I think the 650S is ugly as hell (except in black), but performs like a beast. The 458 is sexy as hell, and performs much the same (especially the Speciale). Given McClaren's reputation for performance over comfort, I'd probably side with the Ferrari here (exhibiting loads of both, as it does). BUT, my actual answer is sort of "neither", because I cannot stand those flappy panelled gear boxes. Make it a true manual, and I'll take the 458.

The Singer Porsche was nice but I couldn't take my eyes off the Bugatti 57SC Atlantic in the background! It's so beautiful, rare and expensive, selling for over 30 million dollars at an auction in 2010. So yeah, kinda forgot about the Singer there for a while! :P

Riles07 It's O.K., I was just having a laugh about the price of all these cars, and the fact I will never have any chance of owning one. Have a good weekend. :-)

I had a 1993 Amazon Green 964 and I wish I never sold it. All the car magazines dismissed the 964 when the 993 came out. Now all of the car magazines flipped it around saying 964 has the best steering/ driver feel of all Porsche's. Same goes for Ferrari 348. Now its all about feel. I love the color combos of all the Singer's that I have seen. Great Video.

One important thing we miss in modern day cars : thin A pillars. Today most cars have fat ass A pillars. But this, its just brilliant...i would say ' Its Reborn'

Problem is they crashtest cars today and set high demands on what they have to do good etc so everything has to be designed for safety first if you don't make small ammounts like this or newer more exotic cars.

HachiZenki You get more strength/weight out of a larger diameter tubing than going to a higher spec material. Either BMW or Merc was actually experimenting with an A-pillar that had an explosive charge in it that would go off in a rollover and expand the diameter so that they could get away with a smaller profile during the rest of the car's lifetime, giving the benefit of better visibility without sacrificing safety. Google on "expanding A-pillar".
@Markle2k9 жыл бұрын
HachiZenki Every single car on the new car dealer's lot these days has an explosive charge in the steering wheel hub and another in the passenger's dash aimed right at your face. And perhaps a few in the doors to keep you safe in T-bone collisions. And, if you are going to put a car shiny-side down on the pavement, it's probably a write-off. So, your suddenly 'hydroformed' A-pillars are probably not an issue from an aesthetic POV.

A complicated mechanical watch is the only thing that feels as mechanical,as analogue and as engineered as a Singer 911. No other car comes close, utterly brilliant.

At $350k with 4,000+ man hours in the car, you're looking at $80-90 per hour worked. Subtract the cost of materials and the additional overhead of running a business with things like workspaces, marketing, insurance, etc and you end up with a significantly smaller hourly rate. I'd say that pricing is quite fair to be honest. These guys clearly love what they do because only that could produce such an amazing result.

Im not a German car fan to any extent, every things too 'cold' and clinical (I much prefer the soul of British and Italian cars with the Astons and Ferraris and so forth) BUT this is absolutely beautiful and perfection to every meaning of the word, I'd give up my house, auction my kidneys and sell my girlfriend to own it... well for that or the Jaguar E type Speedster. If Jay was a real car-guy he'd have handed over his bank details there and then. Simply stunning.
