1991 Porsche 911, Reimagined by Singer - Jay Leno's Garage 

@First Last Performance wise? Some Ferraris are faster, some are slower. Emotionally? Sentimentally? This car makes cry tears of joy everytime I see it. It is essentially Porsche perfection, and that makes my inner Ferdinand happy.

@First Last This is a very specific thing. If you're not into air cooled Porsches you probably won't see the beauty. Of course Ferraris are special, and there's a lot of them that could absolutely compete and demolish a Singer, but this a special thing. It's meant for a fanatic (as Jay Leno said), same way a 250 GTO will probably make your knickers drop, this makes every Porsche fan giggle with joy.

@First Last Depends on your budget I suppose. I know German car prices are a bit mental, but generally you will find Audi's are cheaper. I don't know how insurance works over there but I assume an Audi or a Mercedes is quite expensive for a first car. Most importantly, don't listen to random people on the internet. Get in one, try it out, see what speaks to your heart, cause at the end of the day, you must like it, not the person waiting for the bus judging you.

$500,000

Beurksman- The intake is from a watercooled gt3 .its still an air cooled motor

He's mocking that it cost $4700 to make it look...pretty.

@@nssherlock4547 he get's that.

beurksman That’s a Straight/True Answer.

A $ 300 Porsche part, what a deal....

There is no doubt I feel your frustration. This is more than a dream car!

These are some beautiful words, my friend.

Thank you.

You should be a writer. You have a very elegant way with words and sentences, and the way you get so descriptive. The way you feel about this Porsche while I love this car as well, is the way I feel about the 95-99 F355 Ferrari. Gorgeous.

Beautiful words, friend. I'd like to share my experience here, too: I love automobiles. Mostly classic ones, some new. I was born in Northwest Araçatuba city (530km from Sao Paulo City-Brazil). I have always been the best in school, super smart and intelligent, but things changed. I had a big depression for 7 years (from 15yrs to 22yrs). I felt I lost everything, I was not the best anymore, but I still got something in me that keept me going (thanks to one japanese Life Philosophy). I moved to Sao Paulo (capital) when I was 22, and I'm 26 now. I've been travelling around the world, been visiting more than 8 countries, and I'm going to japan for the third time. I'm working on what I love for the past years (i'm self taugh 3d artist) and I have big projects with big clients. But, I still have no car. Brazil suffered a big crisis in the past years, and things were not great, super inflation, democrats ruining the country (for 13 years) and so on. Also, cars in Brazil have ridiculous taxes, like, a Ford Fusion costs 40,000 usd, and a classic Porsche targa, around 120,000 usd. If it's hard to get a regular car, imagine for a sports classic one. The less I have, is the more I want. I've never been so determined as now. So conscient as now. It's 00h30am on a saturday and I'm listening this video while I work. I'm doing 10x more than a average brazilian would do. I really want a Porsche 911 reimagined by Singer. Be blessed you are in US. Free market, makes it easier. Our frustantion, is certanly taking ourselves further. Change your mind, and you can change your environment you live in.

Catherine Wheel was a criminally under rated band. A unique, sonically melodic band that I was able to see live, and selfishly, glad that they didn't become "huge" and go the way of say...Coldplay. Rob Dickinson rules!

Funny and true

Been there.

Are you talking about that movie or video of that guy who lived in his Porsche??LOL

Unfortunately a Singer costs a lot more than the average house. Starting at $300K plus the donor car. BTW does anyone race a Singer?

My new favourite quote

Cereal Killa totally

Porsche 911 R?

Best looking car in the history of the world.

Might? No, it is the perfect car.

And then they make the DLS

+jean-michel HERBERT Cool, I hadn't heard that before. Are they done with it yet and is there any details available?

+jean-michel HERBERT proof?

+jean-michel HERBERT Lucky so and so! If I were him I'd do the same thing.

+jean-michel HERBERT well that was two years ago when this video was uploaded, so if he did he should have it by now. I haven't heard a thing however. I would think he would have posted it on the website.

+jean-michel HERBERT You all fell for THAT one! :) - Indeed, I would have bought a bespoke Singer instead of some of Jays other stuff, but then I'm not Jay! tastes differ.

LOOK FOR THE GREEN , SINGER 9 1 1 ! ! ! FORREST GREEN .

Yep. If I won tonights $30 million lotto, I'd be flying over to Rob and handing over a deposit. Probably for 2 cars! People whinge and moan about the Singer Porsche saying it's sacrilege to modify a 911. Why? There are thousands of cars that just sit in garages all around the world collecting dust by owners who don't give a shit. Magnus' STR was sold at such a high price because someone jumped on his bandwagon just so they could say it was Magnus' car. He's a cool bloke and I like his builds, yet it's been done before and that STR was not worth $300k! As Rob said, it's all about marketing for the mildly eccentric MW. A lot of people would be very surprised at how cheap a good 911 is to buy and modify. I know because I have a 912 I'm restoring now, and I'm far from rich! Singer is obviously out of the reach of most people, but for the Porsche enthusiast like me, it just doesnt get any better than a Singer. I'll take mine in Slate grey thanks Rob, right hand drive and delivered to South Australia please! No matching luggage though thanks

leesmartin Definitely. I liked Jay's video on Magnus Walker, when Jay didn't seem too impressed when he was looking at the fake louvered rear windows, and Magnus said they were just for looks. Also, I think it's funny when Magnus talks about some of his 'custom' work, including drilled door handles - no Magnus, Singer is 'custom' work - you're just a man with a drill

I was just about to mention Chris and his review. He spent a little more time in Rob's shop and his driving style is a bit more "enthusiastic" but both reviews touched on the absolute obsession that Rob's people apply to this creation. The only way I'll ever have one will be the result of a VERY nice day with the "Power Ball Investment Program!!!" OK, we can all dream a little bit. ;^)

Actually James May did a segment on the singer years ago.

Do you like it more than the Ruf CTR though?

Portabledexter . The Yellowbird was a completely different machine. It was a super hardcore stripped out race car for the street. Apples and oranges.

airlopez21 Those are man hours...10 people, 400 hours each for example.

I’m sure your Chrysler 300 would be fine

Antoine Jameson Yeah. Which would you rather have? A fully tricked out Singer made exactly to your personal preferences, or a 918? Remember, you'd never be able to get close to the 918's limits on the street... we can only go so fast in the real world. I know it's not really fair to compare the Singer to the 918, they're totally different animals. The 918 is one of the fastest cars in the world right now and is loaded with technology that is suitable for the space program, while the Singer is more of a peice of jewlrey you can drive. Which one would it be? Here's another question... Mclaren 650S, Ferrari 458, or Lamborghini Huracan?

Honestly, I think I'd have to go with the 918. When I think about tricking out the Singer, all I can picture is making the interior as much like the 918 as possible. And then I think about that dual lifted exhaust, firing out blue flames in racing mode and... yeah, I just want it. This would feel like a consolation prize. The best consolation prize possible, but still.

Antoine Jameson How about the McLaren 650S vs Ferrari 458? How do you feel about the McLarens in general, the 12C, the new 650, the P1... I honestly think the 650S is the best all-around sports car on the market right now.

Hmm... I think the 650S is ugly as hell (except in black), but performs like a beast. The 458 is sexy as hell, and performs much the same (especially the Speciale). Given McClaren's reputation for performance over comfort, I'd probably side with the Ferrari here (exhibiting loads of both, as it does). BUT, my actual answer is sort of "neither", because I cannot stand those flappy panelled gear boxes. Make it a true manual, and I'll take the 458.

What about the Lambo Huracan?

Just remember to have it serviced by a master and keep it wound up!

Rolex is self-winding

And what with that fitted suitcase set you'd be all set.

KryzMasta You can order it with a roof rack and a leather suitcase if you order the Touring version. So that's easy enough.

evenflow919 theres a big pine tree next to the driveway,just in case,

Send Kylie Minogue along with it Santa baby. On the other hand, on second thought, just send the car.

If had the means I'll get 5 in different colors

HE WILL BRING YOURS RIGHT AFTER HE DELIVERS MINE !

+TyGuy The Dog His brother is the lead singer of Iron Maiden..... No doubt he's coked out!

+cromulentparty Bruce Dickinson was never a druggie, he is an airline pilot now, so to say that he is the reason his brother is "coked out" is unsubstantiated.

+TyGuy The Dog Only somebody who's only seen coked up people in movies would think that. That's not what it looks like.

+TyGuy I get a little fidgety when I'm nervous too and I've never touched coke.

+cromulentparty theyre actually cousins, not brothers.

Riles07 Only $400K? Bloody hell, I'll take three.

Riles07 It's O.K., I was just having a laugh about the price of all these cars, and the fact I will never have any chance of owning one. Have a good weekend. :-)

Jay Leno's car collection is just nuts. I also noticed that beauty.

GrecoRoman123 parts

oversheads

It would be pretty good if the workshop and utilities were free, no shop or employee insurance, free upholstery, free paint, free ....

Spend $350,000 on an airplane to fly to vegas, above traffic. That's even better.

I've done this to my 90 S2 Cabriolet.

that´s a singer with the best of all 911 in one ,i would prefer this to a real porshe they feel perfect, and reconized by porshe

He's just nervous........or on crack!? :)

He's the carbon fiber guy....They call him, " Carbon Commando "...for some reason.

manstersr no he's just british.

I imagined he's just horrified by Jay's driving, and what will happen to him if he has to tell their Dubai client what happened to the car.

he's hooked on this car!

The ultimate Porsche lovers car! :D

But before that happens somebody already swapped those beautiful wheels for some gold plated ones....

pit32s: And they will ask Rob for diamond-plated shifting knobs as well.

Especially now as they are manipulating the price of oil down... lol

they have so much money they have to give to the world free oil
