As lovely as natural Breasts--

Thanks to Singer Vehicle Design, you can get that 80's on the outside vibe, with new guts under the hood.

The Porsche 911 really is a thing of beauty.  These curves kill me like Pam Grier in her prime.  Two posters I had on my wall as a kid. For real.  Make's me want to nurse a bottle of milk. Damn.

Singer Vehicle Design rolled out its first prototype, plainly named the "Singer 911," at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance last month. Based on an '80s-era long-wheelbase 911 donor vehicle, the company strips each chassis to its bare shell for "reinvention" into what Singer calls a "celebration of the golden air-cooled era of the world's most important sports car."

Incontestable is its vintage Porsche 911 look. However, the Singer 911 is far from antiquated. The complete reincarnation includes chassis stiffening, new active aerodynamics, and a lightweight integral backbone structure and roll cage to improve torsional rigidity. Most interestingly, nearly all of the steel body panels are replaced by full carbon fiber composite bodywork candy-coated in Singer's exclusive "Racing Orange" paint.

Under the rear decklid is an air-cooled 3.82-liter flat-six sporting six individual throttle bodies. With a GT3 crankshaft and titanium connecting rods, the powerplant spins eagerly to 8,000 RPM. The engine sends 425 horsepower and 340 lb-ft of torque to a proper Getrag G50 six-speed manual transmission. According to the engineering team, the 2,400-pound Singer 911 will sprint to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds. Top speed is in excess of 170 MPH.

Very clever review of the Singer; am a fan of both the Singer and Pam Gier.

A very clever and originall review of the Singer (more so than the one we did) which just by the Pam Grier reference makes the car so soulful. I am both a fan of the car and Pam Grier and could see her kicking back in a Singer.

Perfectly true. The Porsche 911 is most beautiful in pre-1974 pre-impact bumper form But not an 80's vibe, but a 60's-early seventies vibe to me. But I get where you are going, of course... the natural, organic form. But for me it is pre-Reagan. And Pam Grier is fit for any decade.

This is truly a thorough, well researched and superbly executed concept
The true thinking man's Porsche.....that is if you are well read on the subject
As for Pam, well as the Harley guys say "if I have to explain, you wouldn't understand"
same goes for the Singer !
