So is this a singer/ps autoart on the cheap or is it an expensive bit of tat?

I've got to say I like the look of it but not sure I could pay more than a 997 GT3 for it.

It might be an awesome peice of kit snd very well made, but by Christ does it just look wrong.

The shape is all out of wack. It looks high somehow, like a 4X4 or a all-road volvo. Maybe its the wing profiles or perhaps the sills?

In any case, not for me.

Yes, its the wheels, too large in diameter making it sit too high!

There something wrong about the wings too though.

I don't mind it, but it's not got the stance of a Singer. Different arch profile to a Singer too.

If it's a PS Autoart then totally avoid.
Won't be anything like a singer etc proper build and at any time you wasn't your cash back you have fek all Chance.

Hideous! Cartoon proportioned wheels are a seriously bad joke.

We seem to think that it looks wrong.

We also bear in mind that it's 80 whopping K. For something with plastic wing extensions. And being sold by someone who can't be bothered to spellcheck his ad, makes one wonder.

Chancer comes to mind.

I quite like it. Although the wheels are too wide, it's riding too high and the front width/track needs to be narrower, looks too wide there to my eye

I kind of like it but it does look a bit weird and out of proportion from certain angles whereas a Singer just seems to look great.

Probably only like it because it's retro-esque plus the fact that my 996 is the opposite in that it looks wrong from most angles!

Agree!

Look at the hieght difference from the tops of the wheel arch to the top of the wing on the front and look at the top of the wheel arch to the bottom of the rear window on the back, it looks like horrible!

Also, look at the height of the bottom of the door compared to the bottom of the sill, its horrific.

£80k for a poor charicature of a Singer? No thank you!

It also looks as if the front and rear bumpers don't fit properly. The panel gaps are huge and uneven.

Here's another attempted Singer lookalike. It looks a lot better to me than the first one, but somehow still looks like an off-roader with massively oversized wheels. I think this one would look very nice on 15" wheels.

Interesting, I thought the first one didn't look too bad (apart from the chrome wheels) until I saw it next to the real thing.All the gear but (almost) no idea?

Talking of these, Nick Moss does a very tasty ST Replica that looks spot-on.

What do they drive like on those big wheels and tyres?

Front looks wrong and the rest looks thrown together IMO.

Go and look at the Singer pics, the details. Then make your mind up. Its all in the details.

At 80 bags it could be so much better. The car I could build with £80k!...

Horrible, and the Singer aint much better. Terrible fashion that soon will go away.

MTR has the right idea above.

The positive from this is it shows how perfect the Porsche design is.

A slap of fiber glass and filler can ruin it.
