The first call every Porsche enthusiast who wins a lottery should make, is to Singer.
Can't recall last time I heard Tiff curse like that. I like it.
You realize he said "bucking bronco", right?
@@jamesshives5679 I don't think he did..
Great job Tiff and Fifth Gear for coming to Los Angeles to meet Rob Dickinson and rip around the Streets of Willow Springs in that gorgeous Singer Porsche. I met Rob several years ago when he was just getting started and he was the nicest guy, uber Porsche fan and super pumped about his love for Porsche's and making something truly unique. For many of us Porsche owner's we want the best parts Porsche makes, so being year specific is not always a priority.Singer has done just that. The best of the best all around. Attention to detail is off the charts and this looks, handles and drives better then the early models. keep up the great work!
Love it. Tiff's still #1
Fifth Gear is the only one, show us how Singer 911 really good, thanks Fifth Gear& thanks Singer !
Check out Chris Harris' short documentary of it, it's the best.
This ones an absolute beauty. Thought i must say, the car is much better described and talked about, when it was featured in Top Gear.
Astonishing video
10/10
The Fikse Wheels ZF look perfect on that amazing Singer Porsche!!!
I would do anything for a singer 911!
MyMMC Never say that, never...
KIMOA it *IS* a singer
Suuuperb!!! THANKS!
Amazing work.
Whaooooo beautiful, im in love for this cars !
Prophetic,.. expect resto-mods to take off in a big way!
Great job man from Indonesia! Semoga kapan2 ketemu hihihi 😄😄
Sweet machine....
👍 YEH~! DRIVING CLASSIC PORSCHE 911 SHOULD BE LIKE THIS WAY ! DRIVING FAST AND CONTROL IT, FEEL IT, ENJOY IT, AND MAKING A LOT FUN WITH CLASSIC PORSCHE 911 !
True, but also tiff is a fucking pilot, a real race driver...
sweet !!
My favorite car in the world.
What I wouldn't give for one.
Buy a cheap 964 or 993 and take it to a good Porsche specialist and you will have an amazing looking car.
bighands69 but but....its 250000$ for the upgrades :(
He always has that hat on....in every interview.....ever....
One of this art is in Indonesia. Hope i can see it. Amazing
I lust for this.
Now they have crossed 💯
Handfull for Tiff, probably kill us mere mortals.
steveobarnes He is pushing it well beyond the limits... Unlike Tiff, most of us aren't ex-racing drivers and would be idiots to take the car anywhere near that level. Driving any car at that level would probably end in disaster for 'us mere mortals'. Even the idiot-proof Skyline GTR isn't a 'crash-free' car. Lol xD
steveobarnes this video was from way earlier in the product line. they have done a lot of fine tuning since then. check the recent chris harris review
Hopefully they will get the suspension tuned better
❤️🔥
Where did this show go? Loved it and it's not on anymore
car can be used on track but its a road car. Wonderful at that
I loved fish gear I wish it would come back
I wonder if the cars new owner/customer had any say in this?
anyone know the song at 5.15?
Willow springs, wow; Motor trend channel =D
I would like to know what the weight balance is
How much does it weigh? 🤔
I've been a huge fan of air cooled 911, I wonder though does it mean if the car is in traffic and not much air is being sucked it into the engine it would overheat? In another word how does the engine manage to suck enough air to keep it cool during idle or city driving in a hot city outside of Europe.
We went on a roadtrip once and during a traffic jam the engine got quite hot, luckily the traffic jam was over soon enough so we didn't run into problems.
+Will Johnston You've obviously never driven an air cooled 911 on a hot day in traffic
+Will Johnston oh I'm sure your head studs and valve guides are saying the same thing
1993 model?
Pop, squat, and steer it.
Indonesia ????
This or the Eagle E Type?
I would not be able to make a decision!
Eagle E-Type, it's even more exclusive and elegant
Simon Cowell has got an Eagle speeders the lucky fucker
Both
Give me one and you'll have a car in Brazil. :D
Love the car, but I wouldn't want that gas cap in the middle of the trunk lid. Totally screws up the line. Some may like it, but not me.
Indonesian buyers are going crazy nowadays!
I would get a GT-4 and stay modern, I get it people like the nostalgia, but my $$$ would go somewhere up to date. Cool car though.
nice car for the rich . Did you actually say it might be the best 911 in the world?
back when Singers were $250k to order....they go for $500k today at least
Porsche 911R is based on this guy' s idea
Tiff vs randy pobst!!!
*****
They are two different types of divers.
try this car on the road thats what it was made for
@ 4:14 He says riding a fucking blaha blah coner :p
+Bruce Illest I think he said "riding a bucking bronco" actually, but I thought the same thing at first!
I'd love it if Tiff would actually try to drive it fast instead of going sideways in almost every corner.
Its a great day when you see an original 73 Datsun or old BMW ,or 1943 straight 8 American car ,that's what I live for
looks like a beetle wearing comedy spectacles - wouldn't touch i with a bargepipe
gimme the new Cayman GTS any hour
I love Singers ...but they are simply too expensive :-/
Porsche Did 911
lol
Coming from Chris Harris's Review to this video is like downing a bottle of Scotch and then having a sip of Green Tea. What the hell is this shit?
I disagree - Needell is a better driver, great power slides. But Harris is better at getting Dickinson to talk about the car.
I'll buy one in the future with customization where it looks classic but have all the modern technology inside. XD
i like porsch
It`s not a RESTOMOD,they`re rebuilt 964`s.
EVILSPAWN1003 True. They have taken a "modern" late 80s, early 90s 911 and make it look more old-fashioned on the outside and more old-fashioned on the inside, yet they've made it more high tech at the same time. All a weird mixture really!
TassieLorenzo I don`t think it`s "weird". They`ve taken the best chassis from the watercooled era and the best looks from the watercooled era and mashed it together to a "best of" kinda thing. I`d buy a Singer 911 over almost any modern supercar if i had the money
+EVILSPAWN1003 I think you mean Aircooled...
Gary Bowditch I think you`re 100% right lol. How the hell did i get that wrong,TWICE! The Singer is just..... wow! The alternative would have to be a 918,McLaren P1, LaFerrari or some crazy,hyper-million bucks stuff for me NOT to take a Singer.
EVILSPAWN1003 Well I suppose. Ultimately the Singer is a copy and **not a real** long-nose 911.... The real long-hoods will always have a higher value and be more special. forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads13/IMG_1970+9111210825465.jpg Mmmmm... Porsche 911, the real version of "genesis" the pure, original 911.. closest to the 901 prototype :)
This or RWB ???
Oh no you didn't.
I would be pissed if I was the Indonesian guy
+Rick Ross I am sure they got permission first. The show will buy some new tires.
+Rick Ross Yeah I hate when my car is featured on an international television program.
+Rick Ross Might not be an important info, but the owner of this Singer has been using it every weekend lately...
WHY DIDN'T THEY PICK THE 993 BASE? It handles better
I think it is quite bigger.
because the founder wanted them to be more simple with less driver aids etc.. the 993 has more clever suspension and some other driver aids that the 964 doesn't have :)
ThePlayahans Thanks. I needed that info.
But wouldn't it have been better to take the chassis and throw away all the wires? I think it is beyond doubt that the 993 has better fine tuning in handling, more complex suspension but basically better kinetics. The car snaps less, it is still oversteery, but more progressive. Couldn't they just use that chassis and discard all the electronic aids?
Probably because the 993 is without doubt more expensive than a 964.when singer started out the 964 where super cheap.secondly it is not as acceptabel to chop up a 993 according to most porsche antiuast.
potatis97
Perhaps. But have you checked how much a Singer costs? A pristine 993 costs a small fraction of the total amount.
Singer puts over 4,000 hours into this 250K -911? I agree with Rob/Singer, that's nutty. For that price I buy the Ferrari 488 GTB, hands down. I like my 911 which looks better than this featured 911. If someone paid me 250K for a 911, I would also love to sell them to rich idiots.
He doesn’t appreciate cars at all.
I think all this stuff ,Is the biggest load of horseshit ever ,Either drive the original car as it was meant to driven and was driven or your a poser and no car lover ,AND yes it has no brakes the handling is questionable ,That's called driving a vehicle ,But I love the people say but we saved the car it would have rusted and not saved ,Well good ,I like cars as they are and There are heaps of great new models
Drivel.
And I think this is the most pure love letter you could ever make for a car.
I believe that this is how Bützi Porsche would've designed the Porsche 911 back in 1963 if he had the technology available.
Your entitled to your opinion
***** Singers ARE matching number late 80s/early 90s 911. They take the original 3.6 engine and have it sent to Cosworth to be rebuilt into a 3.8 L . They are just made up to look like early vintage 911s. THey are actually late model air cooled 911s with late model air cooled engines. So the numbers STILL match!!!
So basically he took some awesome old Porsches and destroyed them with his stupid modifications.
Do you understand the English word "scrap" or the English phrase "spare parts"?
Looked like everything except destroyed and stupid to me.
Nanorisk You go save some vintage cars then genius ,Scrap ,read a book
chris doyle What is your point? Please speak human language. I merely stated the fact that some of these parts might come from donor cars that are not in working condition and/or damaged beyond repair. No one needs to be a genius to figure that out.
Ok I will speak French ,The amount of Porsche cars that are rusty and beyond repair ,Is less than 5 percent and all the parts are available ,The factory wants all the old cars running until, the money runs out and I predict 2040
As good as Tiff might be in his racing past, he has to have the WORST driving style of any tester.
As for the car, well.....haters gunna hate, theyre just jealous they can't afford perfection
Shame I'll never own one. My 912 will have to do
That is the beauty of a light weight car it can be thrown around like that and still compete with more modern cars. No doubt he was encouraged by the TV producers to drive like this.
