    I agree this may make the Singer the worlds most desirable car. If a Pagani is fine jewelry in automotive form, this is a fine Brioni suit.

    Wow, the performance of this new Singer should be quite lively given the fact that the largest current engine offered by Singer is 390 H.P. and that model goes like hell. I wonder what the new 500 H.P. version will weigh? If it's only slightly heavier than the current car, it should experience a huge bump in performance.

    Interesting to note also that Hans Mezger was involved in developing this new 500 H.P. engine.

    I was told (by somebody who's having a "regular" singer built and inquired) that it's 1+mm...

    A million is so much for a toy. It's special though. Powerball here I come...

    I suspect the engine will come with other goodies (suspension, even more big $$ weight saving bits) so that it's not just a singer with more power but a qualitatively different car.

    I guess it's not cheap working with a company that has a large presence in F1 racing...especially when they are not working with any significant economies of scale.
