There is no combination of words in the English language capable of describing how much I want this car

[beurksman]

I love the honesty of the guy: "The cooling is from the GT3-RS, the water-cooled model. We spent 5000$ making it look pretty but it's basically a 300$ part"

[davidescajeda]

I've kept you in our prayers, for amazing support and care you received while at the hospital. And your speedy recovery Mr.Leno...I'm thankful you are out and about, and enjoying your classics cars once again! God Bless you.

Im not a huge Porsche fan but wow I can see what a beautiful masterpiece this is. And that man has a passion that only a few other have. A true artist

[WiredGunSlinger]

I wish Rob would go back on tour.  He's an amazing singer.

[Hofflern]

Singer, creating Porsches with true love for them. Put heart and soul into a car and the results are just... great.

I love cars. I am obsessed with them. Old and new. I was born in Southern California and, in high school, I loved pulling my Volkswagen Beetle into the driveway to wash it on warm breezy day.

Fast forward 15 years. I moved to NYC to be an artist. I am carless and it's killing me. I feel stuck. Trapped on this island with no way out. Rental cars are not the answer. They are lifeless. My only respite is to spend countless hours researching and dreaming about cars through this inflexible glowing screen.

From the Toyota Prius to the Rolls Royce Phantom, all cars are noble expressions of human engineering, ingenuity, and creativity. For me, however, there is one car that sits at the apex of all others.

If I can own just one automobile in the world it would be a Porsche by Singer, specifically the 911 Targa. I do not say this flippantly. Yes, the 911 Targa is a masterpiece at the level of Michelangelo's Pieta. It's sculpture meets open air motoring. Every curve, every detail is excruciatingly crafted. It is so beautiful that, upon a glance, Medusa herself would turn to stone.

My hairs stand up on the back of my neck. My arms and legs go numb. My whole body trembles. I weep.

In the end, I don't know how I will ever be able to afford a Porsche by Singer. Now my dream becomes my nightmare...

[MKIEVA]

Can't describe the level of respect I have for Jay on how it's is able to convey in words the experience of such an exceptional car.

Love ya Jay.

BIG "Catherine Wheel" fan!
Super happy for him.
Jay gave a glowing review.
Thanks to both of you!!
All the best.

[JohnAlanSlavin]

This is incredible. It's genuinely beautiful - you might go on and on about performance and whether or not you'd have this or a new 911, but this isn't supposed to be an alternative, it's a designed to complement other 911s. You'd take this out now and then and every single time you'd feel like a king. And I would wager that anyone who owns one of these owns at least one other 911 as well. As Jay said mid way in "this is fanaticism."

[roykonvalinka]

There was a huge group of singer 911s at the monterey historics this year and oh my god they were amazing. I get chills when i think about seeing them in person. They are insanely expensive but worth every penny.

[Borderline]

You can sleep in a car, but you can't race a house.

[MultiTerpen]

Hands down, the most perfect and beautiful porsche I have ever seen.

[ConservativeGangstR]

Jay really conveyed well what Singer is all about. A man can only dream of owning one of these masterpieces.

[Tcxr]

Rob is what makes cars amazing. He knows the car he loves and has such a zeal for it that he can make a person (like me) who does not care about a 911 care. You can see his love and excitement about the car throughout the entire interview. 

[MrPhattdirty]

Jay ordered his own two days after this was recorded.;;;

[aquateen]

"Sell your house and buy this car." Well said, Jay. Well said. Dickinson and Singer really knocked it outta the park with this design. Fantastic.

[TheGeorge]

Although I am by no means a porsche expert, I can't help but think of how Singer could do wonders to an old and tired 993, arguably the greatest air cooled iteration of Porsche's 911 of all time. With it's sumptuous curves and small delicate frame, the 993 could represent the basis of Singer's progression to a newer generation of 911's. That being said, the porsche 964 has proven to be quite a successful foundation upon which to build such an amazing specimen of a vehicle.

[WizzRacing]

This guy just stole my soul!

What a wonderfully built car. I think Porsche would have approved and even wobbled a bit at the detail, attention to balance and materials used.

If I was to find $500k laying around for a vehicle to enjoy and admire this is what I would buy. I would love one in pearl white and black accented trim.

I'm still drooling. Damn you Jay...

First thing I thought was 917.  Not because of the Gulf blue and orange paint but because of the valance under the front bumper.  It looks like the air intakes of the Long Tail 917, my favorite.  Love the engine plenum and matching fan blades.  The interior is magnificent.  The car is Perfect.  A modern vintage Porsche.  More jewelry than car.
