CLASSIC CARS

THE BEST MADE BETTER The Porsche 911 is, for many, the finest sports car ever made. Thanks to Singer Vehicle Design, the best just got better. Singer takes Porsche 911 964s (sold between 1990 and 1994 and the last of the air-cooled 911s) and totally rebuilds them. A new engine and transmission means new brakes (to cope with the power) and bigger wheels. This in turn means carefully shaped new arches. Conceived by serious 911 lovers, this is the ultimate expression of a classic car reborn. Verdict: Wow. As Jay Leno put it , “this is not a car you let a valet park.” $350,000; singervehicledesign.com
