Regular Singer costs between $400-$600k. This one starts at $1.8M, only 75 will be made, and they are all sold already. Ridiculous in my opinion. But if I had $1.8m lying around, I'd be a buyer. On the second hand market, will be very interesting to see what they sell for. I imagine a very, very lofty premium.

so that puts it well into the territory of the P1, Laferrari, p918, Koenigsegg one:1. I love the singer but idk if it's worth as much as those cars...

It has a third pedal, therefore in my world, it's eleventy billion times cooler than those things. The real issue for my fantasy scenario is whether it would displace an F40 or Macca F1. And honestly, yes, probably so. The Singer is just about perfect.

Ha, no glass. I'd just park a chair right in front of it and make vroom vroom noises while passing imaginary peasants.

Yeah, true. But to get any one of the cars you listed, you have to have been considered a VIP customer to that brand and then have been 'invited' to purchase one. I'm sure with the Williams Singer, it wouldn't have taken much to become a VIP Singer customer, meaning the cost of entry is much lower.

But yeah, LaFerrari, that thing is beautiful.

Old 911s are the most overrated cars ever and air cooling piston engines in a car is the dumbest thing ever. Even if I had unlimited income I wouldn't buy one of these.

This is just one of those litmus tests to differentiate people with taste from people who THINK they have taste. Evidence shows the first group is outnumbered massively by the second.

I assume you also either don't have a watch or have something with a battery?

There may be a few watches, and quite a massive battery collection around here but that's another story.

I like air cooled 911's and dumb engine placement. I'm glad a marginal rock star has found a way to take even more of my money than Porsche did. You not wanting one just helps me, keep convincing the others.

All that and we didnt get to hear it run?

Is it necessary to slam the door to get it to close?

Hate the exhaust tips.

The exhaust itself is great, but the weird inserts could be easily dropped.

That puts it in perspective, thanks for sharing. In the video they appeared to stick out a bit far for my liking.
