They've been teasing this car on Instagram/the interwebs for a while now, but they've finally debuted the finished product at Goodwood.

Absolutely amazing, in every way. The attention to detail that Singer maintains on all of their builds is something to behold and this one goes to another level, in my opinion. That tach.....
Also that engine...real 6 speed with 500 NA HP at 9k RPM? Yes please.
I can't wait to hear it.

This truly is incredible. I've always loved Singer cars.

Yea, if I was going to be picky, the rear fender flares could have been executed with better flow. I really don't care for RWB Porsches.Big Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Thu Jul 12, 2018 6:40 pm other than the rear looking like a fucking RWB 911, I like it lots.

Im in love with it. Missing seat and all. The level of detail and thought in this thing is
I could just never fork over the money. I'd have to have an epic amount of fuck you money to blow $2m in a car.

One of my clients at work has a Singer (the Philadelphia car) and is currently commissioning a second car.
A few weeks ago we had Singer bigwigs our at the store with one of their “shop” cars, while they took an order from the owner and another client.
It was the single most amazing vehicle I have ever seen. The attention to detail is beyond phenomenal on these cars and they are truly works of art. The level of depth in the paint. The stitching in the interior. The grain of the leather. The exposed shift linkages. The Swiss watch-like gauges. The amazing engine and intake.
I’ve been lucky enough to be in, behind the wheel of and around some incredible machinery in the past year, from a 918 to a Pagani. They all pale in comparison to the way these things are crafted.

I feel like I'd be afraid to drive something like that, but maybe not if I could afford to buy one in the first place?
Those things are cooler than any current Porsche for sure.

Absolutely. I was shocked to read in that jalopnik article that they plan to make 75 of these things. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Thanks for sharing, fled! I'm sure it is even more ridiculous in person. A car like this certainly transcends into a different category with the craftsmanship that goes into it.fledonfoot wrote: ↑Thu Jul 12, 2018 10:06 pm One of my clients at work has a Singer (the Philadelphia car) and is currently commissioning a second car.

If anyone is interested, it does seem like they are hiring for quite a few positions. I wonder if they are trying to ramp up production? I saw an unrelated comment earlier in the week that said they are currently at a 3 year wait list.

I'm just not a fan of tacked on fender flares on CARS. Fine on trucks and SUVs, but doesn't work for me on cars. I understand I'm in the vast minority.Big Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Fri Jul 13, 2018 9:28 amApparently you and I are the only two on the fucking planet with this opinion.

I'll admit, they went a bit way to retarded in recent years. The early stuff was a lot more mild.

Makes sense. If you've got a line out the door, might as well make use of it.
