Stunning Singer at DK…

[166 MM Barchetta]

In my poverty stricken, never afford it opinion I think this is the best one I’ve seen, very jealous of whoever takes it…

I think it’s the detail on this that won me, the steering wheel and the gear lever that match outside and interior so well.
I’m sure many will dislike but opinions are like aholes, everyone’s got one and everyone uses them daily….

[Pflanzgarten]

The options list on that

Not a million miles away from how I'd spec a 911 regarding colours but they really look badly proportioned to me these days. I think the originals can just about get away with it, maybe with some less wheel " and a lot less tyre stretch but unfortunately I think the look is getting dated.

I can honestly say I think in ten years plus these will look like the B+B Porsches and Koenig Ferrari's that were "cool" in the 1980s.

Looks great (if you like green)
I wonder why its for sale after only 5.9k KM's.

[GTRene]

wow, that interior, thats my most favorite leather interior color, just wow, Imagine having such interior in your own car.

hm, I'm gonna download some of those interior pictures, its on my bucketlist now :-)

[DeejRC]

So, am I the only one who thinks that interior is a complete mess then?

for me its one of the best I've seen (my taste) luckily most have different tastes, otherwise everyone would like the same, then it can get boring

[darreni]

Wow, that’s fabulous. Yes please.

[IMI A]

Amazing.

Love the interior.

As above, wondering whether the DLS is ‘over wheeled’ and over wheelarched.

[MDL111]

Like the colours a lot but it is a bit much in some respects - looks a bit cartoonish and the green roll cage / some of the details are a bit too coordinated for me if that makes sense
Would obviously still love to own it but prefer the original design / classic or whatever they call it now
Still one of my regrets that I did not order one in 2015 when they were still semi affordable and the waiting list was not years and years

[IMI A]

It is a little a standard Singer with all the DLS bits underneath in that colour combo would be amazing.

[cypriot]

That is hideous. The DLS is not a pretty car, and the interior is a mess. But what do I know? Fair play to the owner though! would love to know what the asking price is now.

Pretty much my thoughts, a very expensive way to ruin a car.

The last one they had for sale (from a PHer) only had about 50 miles on the clock.

I imagine the ‘overs’ they will get might be a reason.

It’s not a “Singer”…..from their website

The product of Singer’s painstaking effort is a Porsche 911 restored and reimagined by Singer. Out of respect for Porsche, and to respect Porsche’s trademark rights, this incredible machine should never under any circumstances be referred to or described as a “Singer,” “Singer 911,” “Singer Porsche 911” or a “Porsche Singer 911,” or in any other manner that suggests that it is anything but a Porsche 911 that has been restored and reimagined by Singer.

Clearly Porsche are taking a more authoritarian view because that’s a definite change of tone…….

Think it all went wrong when they released that Dakar “one off” that Tuthill were involved with which got a massive red card from Porsche.

I've always found it strange that Ruf and Singer can operate with such ease. Nice that they can though I love that they express their own vision for a 911. I'd love a Ruf RT 12 R, CTR Anniversary or DLS turbo study

No.
Too much 'pond weed' green

[GTRene]

I really really love the interior, for me one of the best ever seen, big want.

So I just went back again to the website and saw a pricelist, hey interior, saw interior and a 17k price, hm I thought, 17k I could order such somewhere in the future if I buy a Porsche 911 again...

then I read more, huh, that was also about the interior... further, hm also, further ... it was all about the interior, then such price is euh, a lot around 100k or so (not really counted).

here> my short day dream is broken

Ruf were (along with Alpina) the manufacturer in German law, at least in the eyes of the TUV. If you bought a Ruf direct from the factory as a new car it would have Ruf, not Porsche, as the manufacturer on the VIN plate. I believe this was helped by Germany having reasonably short periods of design copyright, certainly compared to Italy. It was one of the 90s racing games that only had Ruf based 911s in it, when the publisher couldn’t do a deal with Porsche.

Singer is different in that they are modifying already registered cars.

[hornbaek]

Completely over the top. When Singer started some 15 years ago they made beautiful cars never compromising the originality of the base product. Now they are just getting vulgar. Obviously it is up to the paying customer, but I think that they have gone too far in customisation.
