Which is your favorite Singer customized 911 Porsche? Why?
The Targas and That collab with williams
The one with the gorgeous yellow interior
@@CSum-em8jg Oh man, the taillights on the williams/singer and those gold dials are choice. Great picks.
@@joeduarte2335 I think you and the other commenter both picked the same one, the Williams Singer collaboration, truly beautiful. ua-cam.com/video/HU4iyYeVIc4/v-deo.html
The Williams+Singer..Have you heard how it sounds?
I just love watching this with the volume knob to zero.😉
“It’s just like building the car in your garage” says the dude who has never built a car.
Great car, in bad hands! Rich dud need to show him self in every video!! Why?! So anoying!!!
Wow, this guy really worked hard to place himself into the Singer story/company. He really wants to belong.
Cost breakdown: 600,000
Car build - 300,000
Having to deal with a douche customer - 300,000
Enjoy drinking your haterade lol.
Look, I LOVE cars. I’ve had some iconic muscle cars, sports cars and touring cars. None of them cost anywhere near $600,000 to build. $600,000! Think about that number for a minute. Jay Leno said it best, some car collectors have more money than brains. Guess it takes all kinds though.
Rob Dickinson of Singer said customers don’t have to have the gas cap in the center of the trunk lid on their Singer if they don’t want it there. They will put it in the stock location in the fender if you want. Totally up to the customer.
I know looks and design are subjective but, I really dislike the center fog lights. Jut why? It's not a rally car.
Yea me neither, nor the fixed rear wing. Other than that, i think the dark mencing look is really cool
Me too. And I don't like the baby whale tail spoiler. Would've been better with pop up spoiler.
Nice video and it is good to know that not-to-everyone's-taste-lights are actually there for some reason. :) By the way, 964s were made till 1994, not 1996. Cheers!
D’oh! You’re right about the end of 964 production. Our bad-thanks for keeping us honest.
@@gearpatrol No big deal, just wanted to let you know. :) To have the opportunity just to get near this car must be fantastic!
@@WheelNuts Director of Video here, it's the best butt feel car I have ever been in. People wonder why it's grail worthy or balk at the expense, this one is the real deal and worth every penny.
@@gearpatrol it is my dream car, money no object. Still, I am really rather happy with my 996 and keep saying one day... 😂😁
This is perfection. Can't get any better with a 911!
It has only one flaw, and for that much money it is surprising: the fixed wing looks awful....to me at least. If he wanted to go fixed he "should" have dune a duckbill....it just looks wrong. I had a 996 with a wing and the cars can take a wing....this one needs to be editted... Otherwise, perfect.
Mickey Sigrist Well, maybe Corvette? Save about $500K to boot.
4:50 The 964 wasn't made until 1996. 94 was the cutoff year. And lol at the differences being "subtle" with a stock 964
I don't know why but it looks more like a 912 than a 964. Probably starts as a 964 with 912 parts.
@@ogremair803 - It's meant to resemble the 73 Carrera widebody RSR
Really love what he has done with this beauty. Well except the deer lights but small detail.
A part of me admires Drew's attempt at pushing the envelope but, I wonder, how does one perfect perfection? In this case, how does one perfect a Porsche by Singer? As noble as it is to try, I don't think Drew's iteration is an improvement. The fixed tail is a bit of an eyesore. The rally lights ruin the hood-lines, and the choices for the woven interior doesn't really add much either. Overall, I prefer other Porsche by Singer variations. If you were to put Drew's "Sine Qua Non" up against "New York" or "Montreal" I would take those cars in a heartbeat over Drew's. Sometimes "Sine qua non" does not lead to "Audentes fortuna iuvat."
One of the most beautiful cars in the world 🇩🇪🇺🇸
So many out there and still completely agree.
One of the best finished vacuum cleaners in the world. That's always the impression I got driving an air-cooled 911 with all that fan noise.
simple and clean spec!
I think you guys need to say "bespoke" a few more times
Bespoke sounds better than custom...
Literally Shaking artisanal
600,000$ I’d be saying bespoke about every inch lol 😝 nice car but I’d most definitely buy a Gunther Porsche before this. Ppl that have bought the singer are mad.
Great video, Great car!
"I think" "I did"... after the video from petrolicious i tried to give this guy a second change.
but man... you didn't build this car! you could tell singer what you liked and they could do it for you.
give the company the credit for what they build instead of being so full of yourself for the choises you made.
beautifull car, awesome spec, i love the choices this guy made including the wing, the gearknob, the colour.
but man.. the "build" is not your accomplishment. you didn't do, you chose, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Enjoy the car, it is beautifull.
Looks so good
Nice, like a summer's eve.
Man! Drew’s come a long way from that 325 he used to cruise around in.
Brilliant thanks For The Lovely Video Stunning Car.
His profession? Being a son!
Isn't that a great profession? I used to enjoy it a lot until I needed some more cash flow!
Who cares, the man actually has taste. Other sons just get lamborghinis and shit.
Your debt is your problem............
Miguel Garcia what debt? You drunk?
Looool
Hey love the car, I’m wondering if you guys do custom builds like this one here
Beautiful
That sound!
We couldn't agree more. It's... it's just so good.
Wow wow!! Best street/race Performance and a beautyfull look!! No other car can bet him!!! This car is a ultimate race car with street licence!! And "Singer" make a very high end level job!! This car is better as the cars are new in 1990!! Respect "Singer" sensationel great fantastic job, one of the best 911 ever! One big problem have this car=the price is much more too high for me! and this made me very sad😅 i "love" this car soooooo much!!😉 best wish Reiner from Germany
loooove most all Singers....... buuuuut, the darker trim and blk wheels really takes from the vintage look of the nickel silver trim/brightwork ........this is not one of my favorite Singers...not even close
Dare I say that it looks drab....
Glorious
Absolutely amazing!
I’m happy to there’re people out there with the money and passion to create this amazing “machine”!!
I’m just thinking 🤔 maybe something like this could happen for the E46 M4.....?! 😉
I like your thinking... I had the exact same thought but for an E30.
Kai Teraci That would be absolutely amazing to give the E30 M3 icon this kinda treatment!
i think after 5 or 6 years from now there will be gen do the sam thing to e46 or e30 or e36
Error 404 : Bradley Hasemeyer not found
Great vid though 😀
Now they're 1.8M Absolutely Fine Art
Trillions like and best comment for you because you are best on Earth and follower respect you,we need videos in Real 120fps or 240fps 4K,8K and Sound in FullHD Surrounded.
Beautiful looking car !!! Not as Vintage aa some of the other singers but unique amd specisl like all the others
Holy shit..this guy really talked himself into justifying the price tag
His probably so rich money is no issue.i mean he's owned two singers
Anyone know why Singer is not classified as a vehicle manufacture considering what goes into these builds? I know they contract lots of stages out but they basically charge each customer as a Restoration service rather than a new vehicle. I wonder if CA regulations have something to do with it. Great video 👍
Wouldn't that require they actually create their own car from the body shell with a new VIN rather than the restoration?
Seems a cheaper route to restore for Singer.
Yes, you would face compliance issues if you got categorized as a "manufacturer"
vs a restorer or such. This compliance isn't CA specific though.
It just pice of art
What sre the tire sizes ftont and rear thks
First pedestrian looking Singer I have seen.
yup
I love seeing the expensive watch starter. Oooh the lifestyle...
Shit foglights is the takeaway.
Nice car
How come it has gold superlight style wheels in the thumbnail?
Has two sets of wheels, maybe one is for winter.
He’s laughing all the way to the bank.
Word of the day is bespoke. to speak for someone to tailor-make commission.
There are some stunning Singers out there. This ain't one of em
Two great companies with the name "singer", the Singer sewing machine and rebuilt Singer Porches.
Well done Drew! Drive it in good health my friend!
Very cool spec. I would've kept the brightwork and polished wheels, though.
some of the comments here make me think many have no idea what Singer is all about. You rather have a ferrari?...ok then u dont get it. etc etc etc Not the Singer Id choose...its a huge letdown on what this buyer specd out.
Beautiful car but not for $500k
What, you didn't want Wheels with that car?
Matt Farah talks about it with Joe Rogan on his podcast. 50k alone on raw leather materials before sew and install. The air-cooled engine took 250k to hit that horse power. Why? Over engineered motor + air-cooled engine master= worst HP/dollar finally everything is bespoke....................
@@MiguelGarcia-vj7oo that 250k engine was the 993 guntherwerks build, you could get a air cooled 4,1L racing engine for like 90k, so this wont be 250k, especially because there are not that many changes as i spoke to one of their employees
Not ok with the fuel cap dead center on the bonnet.
I don't know why but it looks more like a 912 than a 964. Probably starts as a 964 with 912 parts.
You have a long standing history with hitting deer on the racetrack so you installed rally lights? I am guessing he does some night rallying with that car.
Does this guy seem like a trust fund baby or is that just me?
He's not- he's a General Partner at Vintage Asset Fund Manager
According to his Linked In profile- he "specialize in the designing, procuring, collecting and spending management on alternative assets pertaining to luxury purchases as well as work with luxury companies to curate and provide above and beyond experiences for their high-net-worth customers and boost CRM efforts. Happy to take on new individual customers on a case by case basis for any of the above, and able to travel and spend extended periods of time should it be required."
Although- he may still be a trust fund baby- difficult to believe that he's acquired this much wealth just by playing with other peoples money as an investor.
Company Name
Dates Employed
Employment Duration
yjmsrv a typical son, he said that his father ownes a Singer....
@@yjmsrv That sounds to me more like he is. ;)
@@henning7923 I guess that's true- now that I think about it- he certainly is! Has to be really- Fund Manager of his own trust fund!
He is - His father is Mark Coblitz. VP @ Comcast.
$300.000 car + 300.000 branding.
964 was from 89 to Dec 93 with some 94 registered cars .... not until 96
$600k 🤣🤣🤣damn that's too fucking funny
Car is twice what my house cost..very nice but ill just drive my vette and keep imagining..lol
I dig Porsche. However, I could build an old Corvette that would eat a 911’s lunch for farrrrr less than $600K. ‘Murcia!
@@dirty69impala Indeed!!!!
Damn, must be nice to buy a house for $300k
Two years? What world do you live in? I have been waiting for mine for over four years.
Needs a single silver leaf stripe down one side front to back to add contrast and sport.
Porsche guys spot the long hood on a 964 right away . Also no 964 in 1995,96 that's a 993.
Nice car - the styling is not for everyone.
The stuff these guys are saying is sometimes cringy. I can’t hate- wish I had a car like this.
Thanks but I'll go and buy a house 🏡😊
He must use “I” and “I want” about 247,000 times….
The car is an afterthought.
carbon fibre chasis next
Includes task. Err
👍
This was an 8 minute video about coated nickel.
Nice ride and a dream car but the price diminishes its appeal.
To you
Those two extra lights on the hood..not possible.
Malkovich vibe
It's nice but it's not worth the price
Specially those fog lights on the hood.
They didn't let you drive it? Party poopers.
These people are nice enough to share there cars with us, and they get attacked not that anyone here really knows what the owner is like
How about Singer + RWB?
Ain’t worth $600k! C’mon maan! For that money i would get a Ruf Porsche which is way better than anyother tuned porsche.
Simple , just buy a ruf 👏
An RUF isn't a Porsche u twit.
RUF is a great consideration ....yesss! its not the same tho....... and I dont know what RUF prices are........ but RUF's vision and goals are not the same as a Singer.
@@itsjustpizza well I mean sure RUF got his own manufacturing rights etc etc ...but its kinda a porsha ..lol....right?.....kinda.....
I can see why the mega rich will pay the premium to have everything be 'perfect', but frankly I think it's possible to make 95% of this experience for half the price.
I know the philosophy is to cherry pick the best components, and therefore the owner is smug knowing it's 'the best', but I don't think the body looks better, just different.
Also 11k tach when it redlines at 8k is sort of dumb, sorry. I get the reference to Spinal Tap, but Porsche is about function over style, isn't it?
RuyLopezQB6 It is indeed, but still it’s a nice little reference.
Beautiful yes. $600k no way.
I hear ya......but if u add up the hrs its not like Singer is ripping you off.
Takes longer to build this than a home 😥
Twinsies?
Very Cool but Sorry Singer is just not for me. I’ll stay with my 991.2 Turbo S design.
Tell me where to get me one ??
Peter. Hatch California
Great beautiful cars, but not at 500k!
There’s a line of people waiting to pay for these cars. A lot of people with a lot of money out there.
This is his second Singer? Did I hear that correctly? If so, must be nice 🤦🏻♂️
That's a 964?? Wtf
Just FYI, the differences between a Singer and a "regular 964" are so drastic to anyone that knows anything about porsches, you'd really have to be a noob to mistake one for the other. You gotta do your research before you film bro.
cool story bro
Second 2 and I left the video...
You had time to make a pointless comment
Those tiny lights up front ruin it, it's like what's the point? Does he think they look "cool' 🤣 some guys try too hard
To be fair, he did indicate that they're there because he's hit multiple deer in the past. I.e. to increase nighttime visibility range.
Oof....a lil over half a mil? Car needs to be 1200hp with CF everything.
The whole body is carbon fibre
I know it's not my car and the owner has specced it to his tastes, but those spot lights ruin the whole look of the car imo. They look like an afterthought.
“Everything is overpriced”
Thats an opinion. If you want this quality, this name and can afford rolling art then you will pay
the leather in these builds are probably ~50 000$, if you want that perfect custum build you have to pay for it
dont forget that the employee probably spent 500 hours building that car, its expensive but understandable tbh
@@HustlerTrickipedia The standard number of hours that Singer quotes for one of these is 4500+. I.e. more than two person-years of _just_ labour, before you spend a single dollar on parts.
Title should be: “Daddy’s Money buys Singer Porsche for Silver Spoon Son”
For 600 large, they should be 24 karat gold plated at the minimum.
Nice car and well-built and well finished, No Doubt. But about three times the price of what it should be. This will die out when all the high-tech yuppies get paid what they're really worth.
Very nice car just remove the middle headlights please. It kills the character of 911
Not letting the person who is profiling your car drive is kind of a dick move.
Those spotlights are hideous
Nope!
beautiful car, but the idea that this thing cost upwards of 600k is stupid.
raul salas It could cost less, but I think it’s all the choices the owners made for the car that raised the price so high.
The ultimate Porsche 911 is not a Porsche , it"s a 2017 RUF CTR or N/A RCR.
600,000 for a gas cap, a tach that goes to 11,000 and a little nickel plating... No thanks. Love the old 911 but this is a little much... This guy keeps saying he did this, I did this.... No, no you didn't.
