£200K ?!

seems very pricey and appears a bit bulbous in its shape.

indeed, it does not really fit for a 993 version.

I saw some nice builds on a special 964 version, the 30 jahre versions with the turbo body, one installed lightweight interior ala 964 RS and upgraded also brakes and engine, engine went to 3.8 and 345ps

Those 30 jahre 964 jubi versions look so cool with their mostly violet/purple color.

Horrid. No good angle on this, a shame given the almost perfect lines of the base car.

I know who commissioned it. It was a present for his Mrs. Didn't own it long for a few reasons.

in the Netherlands, now this one, I like that color and outside.











inside it looks like turbo seats?



based on a 1980 3.0SC

That's a great looking car. You didn't include a link, but I found it here from the dealer plates in the pictures, for more pictures and specs.

The 993 doesn't provide a good base for a backdating restomod, imho. The Kaege Retro for example is a magnificently executed car, but aesthetically it just doesn't work, just as the one in the ad doesn't work either ....

I think i have to agree with you, I watched Henry review the 993 based Gunther-works recently and a Singer it isn't.

What I like about the Gunther Works, although not my cup of tea, is the fact you recognise it as a 993 immediately. It maybe retro, but it doesn't try to be a car from the 60's.

Spotted this RSR replica/recreation/tribute (call it what you will!) at a local classic car meet last night. Anyone on here?

Hi, just spotted your post on my 1973 RSR tribute, hope you liked what you saw, it took 2years to build, all work carried out by myself other than application of final finish paint. Running on throttle bodies with Emerald K6 ECU.
Best regards
Nick

Singer's new Turbo. New. pics released.

I’d take this over the crass Guntherwerks abomination every time

Actually, I’ll take one these with a NA 4.0 engine tweaked to 450hp in Ferrari gelb or Signal orange.

100% with you. The GunterBerks is an abomination by comparison to this Singer 930.

Great effort! Well done, lovely bit of kit.

Be prepared to wait a long time for it.

60s?

[GTRene]

Singer does a good job again, makes me want one, although I think I like their older model more, this one is very lovely as well.

a bit 930/964 Turbo with a whale rear spoiler, but then refined, more smooth/nice/cool.

[Jamie Summers]

Interesting Singer have gone for a whale tail that looks much more like the early 70s or later 3.2 Carrera version rather than the 930/964 Turbo version that has the more squared-off edges to the rubber. Looks much better to my eyes......
