My company makes the carbon fiber body panels for the Classic, 2 things: 1) it's still in production (though winding down and surely all spoken for) and 2) not sure about the DLS but the center fill fuel cap is an option on the Classic, we make different parts based on a center fill vs side fill configuration.

I used to visit the Singer Shop in Los Angeles before they went to this insane level. They were still super above par to detail, but they had just switched from Cosworth motors to Pink motors and the cars were selling for $300K, not millions. They were a group of great, friendly guys and even let me sit in one of the cars undergoing their customisations. I still dream of owning a used early Singer with a Cosworth motor.

[@hent1438]

I've been following Singer's Porsche builds for quite some time, and they are truly works of art. Regardless of how many pictures or videos you see, nothing will match seeing one in person. They are absolutely stunning. The build quality of these cars are incredible.

​ I say the same thing. It is a beautiful car. It is phenomenally perfectly redone to be a work of art. But, for someone to buy this at 2 million dollars that means you have passed up dozens of also amazing cars for less. I also, like you don't get it.

Bravo on this comment!😁 There's a lot I don't like on the DLS: the ducktail, the (stuck-on looking) arches (fenders in US, I think?), the rear lights, the black bits on the exterior... and I think the interior is overdone. But this is so much more desirable than your average 'hypercar' (GMA T50 aside). This one's a horrible colour, though. And black wheels with a silver line around the outside? Yeeeuch.

[@bok..]

LOL

[@julianevans9548]

Those black carbon bits on the exterior would look much better body-coloured, and the arches would look so much better if they just blended in with the rest of the car. Can't see why either of those choices would be a necessity.

[@SiyxmTTS]

A friend of mine paid 2.4 for his DLS. Can’t begin to describe how well finished the car is. Everything, literally everything (nuts, bolts, washers, etc) is very very important and very well finished. It was like looking at a new car that’s based on an older one, like Porsche re-imagined the 964 with one last hurrah. I’ve spent countless hours around the DLS, the longer you spend looking at it, the more little details you notice, the LED front and rear lights that are so well made, you’d think it was made buy Porsche themselves. Changing the gear felt like using a bolt action rifle, it only goes certain ways, so hard to explain, but I still remember the feel of it so clearly. Other things to add, the car comes with a roll cage built into the A and C Pillars. FIA Approved, you can literally race the car from the moment you get to the track. Oh, and the engine, my god is that a piece of perfection. Being passenger, you’re met with all these whining noises and a firm suspension set up, you immediately understand the car will handle amazingly round some medium speed tracks, but the engine felt tame in its comfort mode, the moment the engine goes into its sport mode, the engines spins up so fast you’re lead to believe you’ve got a GT3RS engine in the thing, what old engine in an old car spins up that quickly? Once the engine is in track mode, it was the most electric car I’ve been in, 9,000 rpm redline screaming in your ear, the traction fully off it becomes a handful. You need serious testicles to want to tame the DLS, you average driver can’t cut it, you have to be at one with the throttle, the weight transfer, knowing when to change gears for optimal acceleration. I may never get a DLS, but god knows what that DLS done to me.

[@clu4u]

Porsche Short Shift kit does this as well. I had one fitted to my 987S and my 981 Spyder came with it. I’d do a single mass flywheel as well.

I had a '73 911S back in 1978.(I was young,25) It was a factory wide body/wheels and the engine was tweaked as it had an 8200 redline. No ac, but it did have a sunroof. The car was light, very loud, it was quick! I loved that car. Real love! Silver, red leather. Besides it's amazing suspension(not for comfort)and rev happy engine..the smell of the leather could only be found in 1970-'73 Porsches. Many times I would wake up in the middle of the night, go into the garrage, and just sit there, close the door. It was heavenly!

You'd be wrong about that last. Not all Singers are garage queens. The guy who went to Singer to request what eventually became the DLS program bought _two_ of them, but he didn't ask them to make such an incredibly performance optimized version of the car (and pay through the nose for the privilege!) to not drive them 😉

[@Cloxxki]

Singer: "I bought the crappiest 911 on eBay and made it into a $2M Singer DLS."

[@williammorris3334]

My favorite part of this whole review is Doug cracking on the silly center fuel filler! He’s totally right of course, it’s an answer to a question no one asked, just a hey that’s cool add-on, but Doug can point out the quirks in the funniest way! Love me some Doug reviews!

[@MattWinkler1]

Singers are absolutely exquisite and probably objectively the best, but I really have a soft spot for the 70's Dakar rally 911s too...

[@Jailhouse_Chris]

Check out the Dakar one off they did. Bonkers, and the guy was apparently going to actually race it! Not sure he actually ever did.

[@terrygoyan]

I saw a Singer DLS at Sonoma Raceway today. Absolutely stunning car. I couldn't believe it was just parked in the VIP lot. Spent about twenty minute photographing it. Don't imagine I'll ever see another one. It made the Ferrari's and Audi A8's in the parking look plain in comparison!

[@Phil99six]

Great review! I prefer the looks of Singer “classic”. But that’s kind of a moot point since I don’t have a few million to spare 😂

[@braedenjohnson2040]

The things I’d do to be a passenger in one of these, let alone drive it

[@triggeredddd]

I've waited so long for you to do a Singer review!!!

[@Jaq365]

Doug is the kind of guy that says "I just want an old worn car that I can beat on", then looks at what is parked in his garage at home. 😄

[@brickclickcat2893]

Little known fact: Singer was started by the frontman of the 90s band Catherine Wheel.

[@chavagol121314]

I saw it in Top Gear several years ago. I love it, but since then I have heard very little about the brand again. there are some videos on youtube but none with the level of detail that doug can achieve. Thanks doug

[@masivids1696]

i was at singer hq in 2014 back when they had no hype. nice to see how far theyve come

[@didaccaball7516]

it seems as if Pagani reimaginated the 911! I can appreciate some Pagani style in there. Congratulations to Singer & Williams.

[@Axelstudio_]

No doubt my favourite review of all the 911s on this page. Thanks for the great coverage, Doug

[@jbrown7403]

Doug’s comment about how this was built in the UK confused me because I thought they were all built in Los Angeles.

[@bwofficial1776]

He's reviewed every trim level of 911 from the past 25 years so he has to broaden his Porsche coverage. Doug denies it but he's absolutely a Porsche guy.

[@odasosd4454]

Doug the type of guy to sponsor himself

[@tomek816]

Doug the type of guy to work for multiple companies inventing quirks and features in order to present them to us in the videos.

[@arda_]

I still think the original Singer form is the most beautiful one. All of the special editions are cool but they are too exotic. While still not cheap, the OG is where it's at IMO.

[@nr1416]

💯💯💯

[@jshumphress13]

Same. I'll take a Classic over the DLS. I need may need a few more zeros in my bank account first though.

[@matt-lang]

The Porsches reimagined by Singer are IMO the perfect "modern" sportscar. They do such an incredible job with these vehicles and the results are absolutely amazing.

[@jackjacobs2960]

The way that singer logo danced in the light. Chefs kiss

[@juiceda6]

I wasn't a fan of Singer for the price, but this is on a different level or craftsmanship... ❤

[@User.Joshua]

I am so happy that companies like Singer exist. The details are everything.

[@edselsugay4768]

One of the cleanest engine bays I’ve ever seen.

[@chatmaigre]

it's brave of Singer to tackle customizing an icon, because without good taste, it's immediately irreverent. and there was born a creator, a stylist, a Hermès of tuning. hats off sir. +1👍Hermès n'est pas choisi au hasard.... 😉

[@RobertCekus]

2 Millions are too much for an old Porsche from Singer. Much too much.

[@AiyvenBelson]

I agree tbh

[@rks5457]

Yep. It takes a weird place in the car collector market. It's a restomod customized for the buyer at an extremely high price point. I feel like the person who buys this definitely wants to drive it. I find it questionable when people think this car will appreciate in value as it's not really a classic. They could make limited versions but I just don't see that being a wise decision as the price point is already limiting.

[@iancordell4718]

Great video! I really do have a question. For someone with less than $10,000 to invest, how would you recommend we enter the crypto market? I am looking at studying some traders and copying their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally. What's your take on this approach?

[@peterwilliams4506]

She is really a pro, for the last month I have been making 9 BTC and using her trading signals

[@scottshah2483]

I and my brother have been trading with Ms Letton Deb. For over a year and I've made good profit of $86000 that's not much but I'm happy with the progress, I don't have to look for jobs anymore

[@sophiawatson9001]

Wow can't believe you guys also know expert Mrs Letton Deb

[@sophiawatson9001]

Trading with her has been the best decision i and my husband has made this year

[@sophiawatson9001]

My only regret is not starting up earlier.... I and my husband can't wait to cashout tomorrow and reinvest

[@johnlummis5119]

It is NOT worth $2million in any way ,shape or form

[@aaroncortez8347]

I would understand 150k at most.

[@rks5457]

Terrible value. You'd have to REALLY want to drive a classic Porsche restomodded to perfection to pay that much. I don't see this being a collectors item like people think. I don't see how this thing can appreciate all that much as it is basically a gutted classic.

[@jarrinmcdowell8568]

Shout out to singer company. When customizing a customer car for a that person. Truly truly show you and why the price point is worth it. For that price tag I want to feel like I hand built the car damn near.

[@Bonnevillerunner31]

Doug’s the type of guy to give a Singer a 9 for quality 😂

[@delias17]

I’ve been watching Doug’s videos for years now, but this one is particularly special. It’s on a whole nother level of perfection

[@colinwan7452]

"Checkbook enthusiasts". A great phrase I heard to describe the kind of people who buy this kind of car. Yeah, of course I'm envious and wish I had that kind of check book!

[@overbuiltlimited]

Doug the type of guy who books a drive of an extremely rare custom Porsche and drives it on busy, arrow straight roads around town.
