+Ashton Murch Yes but give a fork about your 4wd Self driven boring ass automatic supercar. I hope your trying to troll because clearly you know nothing about cars. GET OFF THE EVO CHANNEL!
+MotorsportMonkey I think he was joking. Hence the remark in quotes. There's lots of TH-cam videos showing all the handiwork of Singer and it's clear the price is justified.
Meaden's last sentence was just spot on and beautiful. Combine it with the music and the last shot, and it got my eyes all watery and crap. Damn onions..
Truly an automotive work of art. When he says 4,000 hours go in to it (not including the cost of all the parts and a donor car), it doesn't even seem like a bad deal.
I love cars. I am obsessed with them. Old and new. I was born in Southern California and, in high school, I loved pulling my Volkswagen Beetle into the driveway to wash it on warm breezy day. Fast forward 15 years. I moved to NYC to be an artist. I am carless and it's killing me. I feel stuck. Trapped on this island with no way out. Rental cars are not the answer. They are lifeless. My only respite is to spend countless hours researching and dreaming about cars through this inflexible glowing screen. From the Toyota Prius to the Rolls Royce Phantom, all cars are noble expressions of human engineering, ingenuity, and creativity. For me, however, there is one car that sits at the apex of all others. If I can own just one automobile in the world it would be a Porsche by Singer, specifically the 911 Targa. I do not say this flippantly. Yes, the 911 Targa is a masterpiece at the level of Michelangelo's Pieta. It is rolling sculpture. Every curve, every detail is excruciatingly crafted. It is so beautiful that, upon a glance, Medusa herself would turn to stone. My hairs stand up on the back of my neck. My arms and legs go numb. My whole body trembles. I weep. In the end, I don't know how I will ever be able to afford a Porsche by Singer. Yes, like the author of this video, if I could choose just one car to own and drive for the rest of my life, it would be a Porsche by Singer. Now my dream becomes my nightmare...
What you believe is what you receive, if you believe you will never afford a singer you are right . Its quantum physics stuff take a look at Abraham Hicks and others .
Let's be honest, no one needs a car that costs $450k. If you're buying something that is a luxury, the "cost per whatever" metric is irrelevant. If I were mega-rich I would buy one of these first before I even contemplated a contemporary bonkers-fast car (Ferrari 458/488, Porsche GT3/RS/Turbo, Mclaren 650). Perfection.
+Jack Naylor Good luck finding a nice 964 for £20k! Unlikely in this new reality! But I agree with the sentiment and to be honest, engine aside which is a bit special in the SInger, my personal taste would be a less modified looking car. So a 964 made good is a nice idea.
I will never be able to afford one of these, but if I could, I would. I find the Singers just achingly beautiful, and I admire everything about the way in which they are conceived, designed and built.
I did. This video (that I saw, how lovely), gives you a price for the 300k version on the UK. All I'm doing is letting you know there's still a more expensive model. Forgive me for commenting on a video. :)
+mx19idlewilder +Alex Karim according to Shazam it's Cure Sleepless Nights by the Sleep Music System as can be found on iTunes for the full album 'Sleep Music - Best of 101 Songs for Sleeping'. And this just isn't a joke :)
Do the math: $450,000 at over 4,000 custom fabrication hours Singer is barely charging over $100/hour labor. In a field of custom and bespoke construction and materials that is an insanely great deal. Absolutely warrants the price of purchase.
Well done Mr Meaden. What a car! To me it would also be the car to have until my grave, just like you. The beauty, the sound the fantastic detailing make this so much more than just a car. All of these people that say, 'My GTR would monster it', well I am sorry, you have completely missed the point. Great review of one of man's greatest ever cars.
£450,000 for 4,000 hours work? That's £112.50 per hour - cheaper than most London main dealers labour charge and that's without parts! Seriously, this car is a work of art. See the /drive vid with Chris Harris and then make your mind up. As well as everything you can see, everything you can't see is - wiring harness for example - made the best it can be. Of course it's not the cheapest way to get from A to B, a regular 911 isn't either, but it is one of the best ways in which to do it. Def on my lottery win list!
I'll never be able to afford a fraction of one of these. I'm so glad some people can. Fuck they're beautiful. I want the Singer blokes to do really well. Anybody that loves a machine so much as to put 4,000 hours in to producing the most sublime product they can deserves to.
I really should get the magazine subscription again, once i get myself out of debt, vids are great but real car journalism is best expressed in the magazine format. I loved Chris Harris' writing when he worked there, but they have a real good collection of great writers
Since 993,the 911 is more and more bigger but it is not get any better looking than before. I think the 930 turbo is the best looking 911. SINGER just know it and make car like it. Simply perfect
+zaco21 I love trolls. Trolls that have nothing in their lives. Trolls that should, really stay under their little bridges. Unless however, they want to pop out into the real world and see how normal people behave...
Its not fair that this thing costs so much haha I'd do anything to have one. I dont know what it is about Singers but I think they're awesome. Im only 21 so its not like I grew up with what are now a day classic Porsche 911s but they're just so damn cool
Just shows that the best, or in other words perfection, equals the right amount, not necessarily the most which then equals too much. This Singer is obviously the best. I understand and share your enthusiasm 😎
I like Catchpole's style of narrative better but I think EVO us doing a great job despite being without Metcalf anymore. I always watch this and XCAR, Chris Harris,etc.
Build it yourself when you have the time let it take 10/15 years. It will be exactly what you want. Even Singer doesn't know exactly what you want........ You need to have the time though and most people that have the money to buy a Singer work so much that it's simply impossible to build it yourself. ( unless you marry a rich woman who loves you more than her shoes ).
For the absurdly rich who also happen to be 911 geeks, there's nothing better than this. But for most people who will ever be able to afford a true high-performance car to begin with, the factory cars are very, very nice. I'd love to just have a new Carrera 4S but, alas...
commanderalphanl Thank you so much! I’ve been looking for the name of this track since that video came out :o Watching this video again and again months apart just to see if someone found it in the comments! :D
The fact that they replaced most of the sheet-metal with carbon fiber, makes the price more sensible. Cars are about experience... so cost is relative.
I don't say this lightly, but this car is "perfection". Blown me away when it first came out couple of years ago, still seduces & fascinate me now. Though I would certainly pick a different colour combination.
The world is a better place with Singer Porsches in it
+555 Gear I have seen the green "Texas" Singer in person. All of the curves were simply elegant.
This car is meant for real enthusiasts, so please people stop talking about its 450k price.
+Hea Mees "yo but you can get a GTR for 100k and it will smoke this thing so bad"
+Ashton Murch Yes but give a fork about your 4wd Self driven boring ass automatic supercar. I hope your trying to troll because clearly you know nothing about cars. GET OFF THE EVO CHANNEL!
+MotorsportMonkey I think he was joking. Hence the remark in quotes.
There's lots of TH-cam videos showing all the handiwork of Singer and it's clear the price is justified.
QuickQuips I thought that was enough to be obvious. I guess not LOL
+Ashton Murch people are stupid
Any video about Singer Porsches is an instant watch.
I'd have this over any current Porsche.
You and everyone else :p
easy. driven old and new ones. this has the best of both x 1000
Meaden's last sentence was just spot on and beautiful. Combine it with the music and the last shot, and it got my eyes all watery and crap. Damn onions..
I call them allergies.
Truly an automotive work of art. When he says 4,000 hours go in to it (not including the cost of all the parts and a donor car), it doesn't even seem like a bad deal.
EVO films like this will always hold a special place in my heart.
Meaden's last sentence then that last shot with the music gave me chills...

I WANT A HIGH RES WALLPAPER OF THE ENDING SHOT!!!!
There is only one word to define this car. Exquisite.
I’ve been driving Porsches as my daily drivers for 40+ years and I feel exactly as you do. There’s just nothing better!
I never get bored of this video. There’s nothing contrived or showy, just great video work and an honest journalist talking from the heart
I've seen a couple of videos of them being built. to me it's basically almost everything we want to do to our own cars, as car enthusiasts.
Absolute dream car, Poetic review, great stuff thank you for this one EVO!
I firmly believe this is the greatest car in existence
What a stunning machine.
Also, what is this beautiful music, please?
Did you find it?? :)
Balance of power - Paul Mottram is the song name
Wow thank you so much have been trying to find it since this video came out
@sodazman, thanks you!! 8 years later!
it's like buying awesome automatic watch. Totally worth it.
Let's be honest, no one needs a car that costs $450k.
If you're buying something that is a luxury, the "cost per whatever" metric is irrelevant. If I were mega-rich I would buy one of these first before I even contemplated a contemporary bonkers-fast car (Ferrari 458/488, Porsche GT3/RS/Turbo, Mclaren 650). Perfection.
could never afford the 450k. Maybe buy a 964 for 20k and spend 50k on it to get as close as possible
+Jack Naylor Dear Jack, good luck finding a 964 for $20K
astrolee23 Dear Astrolee, I was talking about ££££
+Jack Naylor Good luck finding a nice 964 for £20k! Unlikely in this new reality! But I agree with the sentiment and to be honest, engine aside which is a bit special in the SInger, my personal taste would be a less modified looking car. So a 964 made good is a nice idea.
Yes Jack I was referring to £££, have a nice day.
+TechStyle It's 450k pounds... not USD
I will never be able to afford one of these, but if I could, I would. I find the Singers just achingly beautiful, and I admire everything about the way in which they are conceived, designed and built.
One of the most beautiful car+scenery videos on TH-cam!
And this would be the 'Low End' version, the modest 300k$. They make a 500k$ one as well. Worth. Every. Penny.
+Bruno Oliveira did you even watch the video?!
I did. This video (that I saw, how lovely), gives you a price for the 300k version on the UK. All I'm doing is letting you know there's still a more expensive model. Forgive me for commenting on a video. :)
+Bruno Oliveira didnt he say it was 480k?
450
pounds £
Super review from Dickie, as always. Like his style!
That first shot! gorgeous!
Anyone know where it is?
Peckam, London :d
+quornash I looked it up, now I don't want to go there xD
+quornash 😂😂😂😂
+quornash it's Brixton or Hackney isn't it?
Anyone know what that final piece of music is? Sounded great whilst appreciating the singer in all its glory
+Alex Karim
I also would like to know!!!

+Jurgen Wagenaar I appreciate your help but after listening to the preview on iTunes I'm not sure if that song name is correct!
Did you find it?? :)
@@TRAXXmusical Paul Mottram - Balance of power
High praise Dickie but well deserved. What a car....
£450,000! Jesus bloody Christ! There is no way it's worth that much as much as I love and drool for it.
My dream car, by a very long way. I didn't know they were available RHD or even in the UK.
Well that was one hell of an endorsement. These cars are the real deal, I'm not even a 911 fan but this car looks amazing.
Do the math: $450,000 at over 4,000 custom fabrication hours Singer is barely charging over $100/hour labor. In a field of custom and bespoke construction and materials that is an insanely great deal. Absolutely warrants the price of purchase.
Now, that is one stunning Porsche 911.
Well done Mr Meaden. What a car! To me it would also be the car to have until my grave, just like you. The beauty, the sound the fantastic detailing make this so much more than just a car. All of these people that say, 'My GTR would monster it', well I am sorry, you have completely missed the point. Great review of one of man's greatest ever cars.
Lovely film Dickie. Very special car.
Just amazing! I'm getting emotional by this fantastic piece of art
Small change left out of a million AUD. Singer has a good thing going on.
The aesthetic, and sounds are spectacular!
A masterpiece........

£450,000? Completely worth it, especially as you get to spec it however you like, every little detail.
Dream car! I so badly want a Singer!
I'll never be able to afford a fraction of one of these. I'm so glad some people can. Fuck they're beautiful. I want the Singer blokes to do really well. Anybody that loves a machine so much as to put 4,000 hours in to producing the most sublime product they can deserves to.
I really should get the magazine subscription again, once i get myself out of debt, vids are great but real car journalism is best expressed in the magazine format. I loved Chris Harris' writing when he worked there, but they have a real good collection of great writers
Aside from the Pagani Zonda and McLaren F1, this has to be the most exquisite performance automobile ever built.
I would spent the loot in a heartbeat if I could. These cars are enough to make a grown man cry.
Since 993,the 911 is more and more bigger but it is not get any better looking than before. I think the 930 turbo is the best looking 911. SINGER just know it and make car like it. Simply perfect
The most beautiful cars ever made.
Well done Richard! Emotive and educational....One day eh
+zaco21 I love trolls. Trolls that have nothing in their lives. Trolls that should, really stay under their little bridges. Unless however, they want to pop out into the real world and see how normal people behave...
EVO finally made a great review! Keep them coming.
absolutely stunning Singer, sadly out of reach of most .
😱😱😱😨😍😍😍
This car is a thing of beauty, i have to admit £400,000 is abit much for what it is.
YES. Dickie is back~
Goosebumps
what a classic, id love to own one for sure
Its not fair that this thing costs so much haha I'd do anything to have one. I dont know what it is about Singers but I think they're awesome. Im only 21 so its not like I grew up with what are now a day classic Porsche 911s but they're just so damn cool
This video is why i like cars.
Just shows that the best, or in other words perfection, equals the right amount, not necessarily the most which then equals too much. This Singer is obviously the best. I understand and share your enthusiasm 😎
Superb video guys! I share the passion about these restyled 911's.
And the shots at the end, they are utterly beautiful!
Maybe one day...
If Ferrari made a Porsche. Chris Harris video is really interesting. Great vide Evo.
EVO please put the link for the last song....!!!
The waiting time is like 2 or 3 years for this car if someone wants to order one, crazy but it worth the waiting...
Don't know what everyone is on about. It's good value.
+zaco21 True..it will most likely go up even.
Such a beautiful beast
I like Catchpole's style of narrative better but I think EVO us doing a great job despite being without Metcalf anymore. I always watch this and XCAR, Chris Harris,etc.
Oh my god....that shot at 5:25. Money shot. Do you have posters / backgrounds available?
A Singer 911 re-imagined with modern PDK would be the absolute icing on the cake!
+Vincent Gambini ahahahaha nice joke ;)
Beautiful machine
Great vid Mr Meaden.
Stunning
The ending of this video was just perfect.. Does anyone know the song?
Amazing.....could it not be possible to find old 911 (carrera 2.7,3.0 etc) and restore it and come out cheaper than buying from Singer?
My god what a wonderful thing it is. But the price is just so far out of reach for most of us. I'm joyful and sad at the same time.
Great video. Spectacular 911!
Lovely video, Dickie
Quite Possibly One of The Nicest Cars Ever Built!
Great review and production. Wish I could own one too.
This car is sooo beautiful! My favourite one is the blue one that is going to dubai!
911r is so expensive now I'd rather have one of these I think.
Build it yourself when you have the time let it take 10/15 years. It will be exactly what you want. Even Singer doesn't know exactly what you want........ You need to have the time though and most people that have the money to buy a Singer work so much that it's simply impossible to build it yourself.

Damn! So this is Dickie's be-all-end-all car?! Wow
Thanks for not letting Prosser drive it, he'd probably just whine about how it doesn't shift as fast as a 991 or something
I wish they would do this to the countach
Singer did a nice job but there are still many ways I see and know can be improved, especially design-wise.
Hey does anyone know the name of the music at 5:30?
Did you find it?? :)
Sadly, no.

wow stunning.
beautiful car... great video...
Just ordered 2.
+Lunar Cactus Can I borrow one for prom?
Sure, son.
On a side note what watch are you wearing I couldn't quite tell
The exhaust sounds has the same tones my 997 gt3 does. First time I noticed that! #mezger
I don't say this lightly, but this car is "perfection". Blown me away when it first came out couple of years ago, still seduces & fascinate me now. Though I would certainly pick a different colour combination.
Song name at the end of the video?!?!
Where was this done? Brecon Beacons in Wales?
That was awesome !!!!
