This is it. Peak automobile. A million dollar Patek Phillipe on wheels.

No mention of price, but probably on par with the original McLaren F1, which went for $800,000+ some 20 years ago, and is commanding $15 million plus today.
Yeah, that thing is basically perfect. I don't like the gauges much, but it's all picked by the buyer so you can get whatever you want.
I heard $1.8 million for the price.

Wouldn't surprise me a bit, and I'd still call that a solid investment. I bet all 75 are sold.
Ugly imo. I'd prefer a more stock style with upgraded materials and parts.
So do they buy 75 of those Porsches, modify, and sell? Or do they offer up this design/package to anyone with that specific model of Porsche?
The attention to detail is amazing. Pagani is the only other car maker at the moment that comes close.
Not a fan - excess for the sake of excess in the chase to make something into something that it isn't + little in the way of value or achievement.

Ugly is a bit far, but I prefer a stockish 964's looks for sure.
I'm also not crazy about how sports cars designed to be driven have basically become automotive real estate holdings. When the Porsche bubble pops it will be a great day for driving enthusiasts.

I agree, the F1 comparison was that the Singer will surely go up in value. This is meant to be driven.

Best stick with a Camaro then.

IDK man... if Singers are investment grade, Singer-Williams is like a Treasury bond with a double digit return.
I do miss the days when random F1 engineering firms would partner with humdrum mainstream manufacturers, like the Clio Williams. This is not like that though....

Gladly - early second gen Camaro looks better and has a better motor (queue the 911 LS/LT swaps, but I'll go easy for now ;)).
After reading that wiring harness costs $30k, one has to know knew things were off the rails for the sake of being off the rails.

Pretty sure they are making the entire body out of CF in house
