At the price point it should have a work of art ti efficient exhaust system,at least it would then kind of look pleasing to the eye,or be able to admire the fabrication.

The interior trim isn't great at all. Creases all over the place showing awful attention to detail.

On their website, you could buy their 992 Sport Classic and a Lambo Huracan and still have change left in your pocket compared to that 993. No one would be daft enough to pay £500k for that, surely? eek

This is far more interesting to me than some gaudy backdate. Some proper thought and engineering has gone into this, rather than simply following the crowd with some aftermarket bolt-on parts.

Nerdy suspension alert...

Very good as you say far more interesting and better value than a wana be rsr with some sty interior and stitching,and no automatic pdk insight,very refreshing.
Not the first to have done it though,as i was speaking to and viewing car/engineer who was going to make kits commercially at rennsport,what is really good is the thought into the front,as the front is the weakest part of a early 911 not the rear where most folk pay attention to,the front always lets you down.
I have done alot to the front of my hillclimber,and have been looking at a multilink rear possibility,its a lot of work and cash though.The race engineer clearly knows his onions,would love to drive that to compare.
Thanks for posting.

Porsche 911 Electric – Turbo

This looks rather special. Perhaps the best Restomod EV I have seen.

Indeed it does, dripping with quality and engineering. Looks great value compared to Singer and high end Tuthill offerings IMO. Where my money would go it I was in the market.

I completely agree ... I took photos of very few cars at the Geneva motor show in march 2015 ... but this was one:



I was there to take a look at the new GT4 that I wanted to order !!



Very happy times when the industry was really buzzing ...

seen this one?

not bad for the money, also nice interior, ok the wheels, even for me could have been 1 inch smaller at least, but all in all not bad.















maybe make it a C2 and a supercharger 445hp

I keep thinking about ordering one,but i cant cope with the waiting,as you say the best of the bunch of expensive hotrods, probably the only one that will hold its money.
Lots of singers popping up for sale with the annoying poa,seems like folks are hoping to flip singers for a profit to avoid the waiting list,but not selling at the crazy asks.
Luv that ruf in green,shame ruf hiked the price bigtime inline with others.

Looks to be a decent car, but the rear arches / tyres look be a bit too fat.


Started as a poor backdate and basically had to be redone.

It’s an interesting read and undoubtedly the car is owed a lot more than it will go for on CC.

As you say big biceps will be needed!

99% of these wide arch builds never get the gaps quite right around the bumper to light clusters and the rear lids. It really hacks me off and to me I would be seriously questioning the person doing the work as to why if 1000s of man hours have been put into the build it’s not possible to get it just right.
