Two new Porsche 911s by Singer revealed. You want them

If there’s a car as desirable as a Singer reimagined Porsche, we’re yet to find it. More than 40 of the things have been completed since 2008, each taking between eight and ten months to finish. They are very special things indeed. Which is why it’s with great pleasure and much want that we bring you news of its two latest projects. Granted neither of them differ greatly from any other Singer, but you know, we’ll take any excuse to gawp.

This one is called the ‘North Carolina’ (for its eventual home, after Singer displays it at the Amelia Island and Palm concours this month). The colour? ‘Blood Red’. Yes. 

It’s a 4.0-litre six, with a six-speed manual ‘box, Brembos and suspension by Ohlins. 

Inside it’s black leather (electrically adjustable, no less) Recaros and all the normal Singer accoutrements. All very nice. 

But this one’s a bit more ‘us’. It’s called the ‘Florida’ - again, after where it will be kept when the owner takes delivery.

It’s based on a 1990 911 (making the North Carolina car a year younger), and is finished in a colour Singer calls ‘Hemingway Blue’. 

Mechanically, the two don’t differ. There’s the same 4.0-litre six, the same six-speed manual, the same Brembo brakes and Ohlins suspension. 

But the owner of Florida has gone for something a bit racier in the cabin. Those are Singer’s track seats, trimmed in beige leather and suede. 

OK folks, which one do you prefer?
