Something for the weekend Sir? PH nail it with two highly desirable cars, both are epic for what we love about cars.....



And the Exige is Expensive ( the new Lotus Expensive, they always name their cars starting with E .. sniffpetrol do not pinch this idea!) but the Singer must be 4x as much.

Actually what is the cost? Place your bets....

I'm guessing $420 000.

Note that it is in same colour as one of Chris Harris' old 911's with same exotic suspension. So I think that input there is seen. We need a test drive, no not Harris, he will be biased. Bovingdon and Meaden will be fine ....

I'm guessing 1.7M

Its a 1990 Porsche....

if you want a classic 964 style singer do that too.

this is 500bph and 990kgs what a weapon

[p1stonhead]

Stunning.

‘Yours for eleventy billion pounds!’

No mention of price so probably will make the ~£700k GT2RS look like the bargain of the century

The what now?

Get driven half a mile a year for a service

[HTP99]

Just look at that rear view; what a stunning looking car.

Surely you can get your man's transporter closer to the show garage than that?
Doesn't each car have it's own exit with Bifolds?

These colours are properly minging.
And it's all a bit overblown for me. I'd prefer something simpler and less bulbous from them.
But they don't make cars for me so fair enough.

Those exhaust tips are awful...the rest of it is gorgeous

I agree the tips are horrible. Also exposed carbon on a car that's supposed to evoke the spirit of 70's Porsches looks so out of place. Ruins it for me as the rest is stunning.

I suspect you can change the tips and how much carbon is exposed for £300+k you going to have to pay to own this !

Mother of god.

£300k! Lol!

£1m+ easy I reckon. Maybe, it might dip under but I would be very surprised.

This is actually the car Chris Harris drove years ago on his YT channel. The "France" commission

[300bhp/ton]

Question. Are these sold as new vehciles? Very cool looking.

IIRC normal singers are done from ‘your’ doner car that you give them. This would probably just be a buy from new straight from them type thing.

Definitely can change them in that case!

[pichat]

Yes, nice, but a little carried away. The exhausts are from fiat or something.

Dunno how it will drive though? Zero ground clearance and must be stiff as a board

Looks to have plenty of ground clearance to me!

[RobDickinson]

Well according to the EV threads people only have one car and everyone drives for 600 miles a day so this would be a real ball ache as a daily...

[noble12345]

Baby blue or.. Apollo style Purple weave carbon with gold wheels please! Seeing as there is no price i will take both, but i dont want them for free, so to make myself feel better i will very generously give you 49p and a half eaten toffee apple.

Singer have finally made a caricature of the 911. That's one step too far IMO.

+911

I'm sure its a very nice toy, but on the wrong side of ridiculous.

Out of the total number made, how many do you guys think will ACTUALLY be used as "regular" cars. Regular as in, not giving a st about damaging resale due to putting "too many" miles on it?

Because I suspect the vast majority of these are investment vehicles masquerading as cars. Which is a damned shame.

And if we're talking about vehicles that have a high level of performance that CAN actually be used without worrying about resale, well, I'm sure there are plenty, if only one uses ones imagination (Ultima GTR has ~1000 kg and ~1000 bhp, so twice the power to weight ratio, and costs around £100k built from the factory to turn key specs).
