  • Here it is, the Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer - Dynamics and Lightweighting Study (DLS, if you value your time). It’s the answer to the simplest of questions: “What if we pursued the ultimate, no-compromise air-cooled 911? And what if we touched it with a Formula One team?” But is this 500bhp, 9,300rpm restomod worth its £2million price tag? Well, we sent Top Gear’s Head of Car Testing, Ollie Marriage, to Wales to find out. Trust us, this one is worth cleaning your ears out and turning the volume up for.

    I lived in Germany in the early 1970's. . I remember as a kid standing behind a 911 on my bicycle staring at the duck tail spoiler . The car was parked at a small shopping center . The man that owned the car was standing outside one of the stores with a smile on his face realizing how fascinated I was with his fine automobile . It was a dark maroon light metal flake color . I was 7 years old . Funny how certain things stay in your mind .

      AF brat? I too lived as a kid in Germany for 3 years. So did my wife, she was a military kid too, although we certainly didn't know each other then. Anyway, I too recall seeing the occasional 911 and marveling at it. But I was there in the late 70s, so the Turbo existed (1974, if I am correct without looking) and I always wanted to see one but didn't. We must not have lived in an area where such a car could be seen.
      But oh, the memories. Now I live in Phoenix and people drive Lamborghinis to the grocery store. Times are so different now.

    This is absolute truth..for the past decade or so if someone brings up the cliche'question of "whats the first thing you'd do if you won a powerball jackpot?" My answer always baffles everyone, and here's what I say: "first thing I'd do is go find an old 70's-80's aircooled Porsche 911 in good driving condtion, but not pristine condition" Then when the incredulous looks and "why would you do that when you can literally have any car you want?" die down a bit I follow up with "then I'd drive it straight from Texas to the front door of Singer". Of course most people have no idea what I'm talking about, not even so called car guys...but I read an article about a Singer in some car mag about 10-12 years ago and have been hooked ever since. I don't even know if Singer takes walk in customers, but I'd make them tell me no in person. I would truly rather have a car like in this video than any new Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti...even a current 911 GT3. Simply gorgeous and an experience like no other.
