I thought it might April fools day, but no.

Not even a fancy electric motor, just a 2 litre flat 4

Absolutely bonkers.

Mmmmmm classy…

Trying to Singer a...Beetle?

Fantastic imo, and I could ever afford one i would snap one up without a second thought!

Looks like Alfa wheels, Tesla door handles, Audi TT door mirrors. More of a college design project than anything else. Can’t see anyone wanting one for £500k.

Nah, only kidding, as I imagine are the people who set up the website.

I’m guessing English isn’t their first language.

What a load of cobblers!

Sensible me says performance from the 2020s but crash safety standards from the 1940s doesn't seem like a good mix. But I like it and if it works well I'd rather have one than the Singer Porsche any day!

I suspect that if you have a serious business plan to make money out of a run of only 22 vehicles, the price is bound to look ridiculous by comparison with mass produced cars, even specialist ones. I am sure that they will find 22 buyers, so why not?

Interesting render, interesting to see what they look like in reality. Must be better looking than an Eagle E type, that always look faker than fake then try to get 840k for one.

Anyone else desperate to get a Milli Vanilli pun in? I'm all set with "Girl you know it's true!" but nobody with a suitable user name has joined the thread yet.

German registered company, so no, probably not.

Totally bizaree tbh. you've got to really want a modern day beetle to either want to buy it or actually spend half a million pounds on it. Very odd.
