seems like a silly place to put the filler cap.  gas drips on the paint seem inevitable.

i like how the guy kept most of the stuff  very stock loking from a distance but updated everything tastefully without making it gaudy.

very nice job.

I thought the same thing.

all of the body panels are carbon fibre, i wonder if that's part of the reason?

i thought the orange one they originally displayed was much nicer color.

love the idea of this car, modern engine in a classic shell.  do wish it was aircooled though.

but for the price, i think i'd rather find me a 930

It is.  That's the classic air cooled boxer motor.

Which generation? A hotted-up 993 motor?

(If it said in the article, I missed it.)

Drivetrain
The Singer 911 utilizes the most evolved air/oil cooled 911 engine from the 993.  However,
the goal with the stock 3.6-liter engine was to develop it into the most modern rendering of the air/
oil cooled engine concept.  With the help of U.K.-based, Ninemeister, masterminded by engineer, Colin
Belton, and constructed in San Francisco by famed engine builder Jerry Woods Enterprises, the stock
3.6-liter engine is rebuilt to displace 3.82 liters
