Leno Drives the Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer

Leno finally gets his hands on one of Singer Vehicle Design's meticulously restored and optimized air-cooled Porsches. Could this be the best 911 ever? Many tend to think so, but be prepared for the steep price of admission to this exclusive club. Enjoy the full video from Jay Leno's Garage.

Have you been part of a 911 build? If you have I am guessing you might understand me...

Each 911 has it's good, bad and ugly side... and when you get to know them and love them you start to except the package. Yes, you want to improve on the package... but to me Singer goes over the top with their reengineering.

To me what they are doing is not revitalizing the soul of the 911 but a soul transplant...

It's beautifully designed, great work and an amazing piece of engineering but it's not for me.

I kind of agree. There is very little of the original car left plus they don't really capture any specific decade of the 911.

But... everytime I think of getting a vintage car, that is usually the result I come up in my mind. Therefore, the price tag I think is pretty well priced considering the amount of boutique engineering that has gone it.

Plus I love the colour schemes on offer.

What GrayTT says is true. Yet, I would love to drive and feel this car. Often.
