Chris Harris Drives The Porsche 911 Reimagined By Singer - Dynamics & Lightweighting Study
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
This is the video we have all been waiting for. A proper deep-dive into the creation and drive of the Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer - Dynamics & Lightweighting Study.
Chris takes a walk around Singer's production facility in the UK, showcasing the total build process, from carbon-fibre shell to the finished article at the end of the production line.
As is traditional with any 'Chris Harris Drives' video, we then take the car for some sideways action around Llandow Circuit.

Singer being in LA sure takes advantage of applying hollywood artistry/attention to detail with real/hardcore engineering--as they use a number of fabrication firms here that also work in the live entertainment/SFX/theme park world (as I use them too from what I found). Surprised Chris doesn't have a pad in LA, those rolling hills and fields sure remind me of those in Solvang and Vandenberg sans the B-roads of course.Just beautiful and perfect for the car at hand.

Heather Vincent (19:37) No shout outs by Chris (which is totally fine for the actual video itself - Chris seems a very gracious man - I'm sure he bought her the finest box of Belgium chocolates, or the like, on her birthday). Only a post credit, there for all time, as 'Thanks'. Well, Heather... Thank you! I love your work
Just a piece of art on wheels. Beautiful.
That road is amazing even in an MX5. Can't imagine how magnificent it would be in a Singer! The side road to Machynlleth is pretty good as well.
Hard to quantify the tangible feeling this video gives you, the car is absolutely incredible on every level!
This green colour is absolutely perfect but those wheels are f------ beautiful. What a thing of beauty.
What an absolute icon. The car and Chris. We’re lucky to live in times where this exists.
A true work of art! If I'm ever in a position to get something like this, for myself, I most certainly will do it.

By far this is the best collecting cars video with chris in it that I've watched so far, it's like he was narrating the birth of a newborn baby and his upbringing while being just geeky enough for the few nerds like us
Pure joy, driven here with masterly control and a car produced by those who really know things! Fabulous, thanks Chris to you and your team! Beautifully filmed to by the way.
Fantastic video! Chris Harris+Singer is automotive perfection. I love a car where every part is a jewel. I'll never be able to own one, but it's enough just knowing these cars exist.
Every time I see a Singer, time stops and I find myself transfixed on the details. You can see the "everything is important" philosophy across every square inch of every car they produce. The whole team should be very proud of what they do.
This video brings back so much nostalgia for me! About 10 years ago my friend introduced me about this sick Porsche he saw at the auto show and i looked up on KZread and I fell in love with how beautifully reimagined this porsche is. I wanted to hear the engine roaring but there wasn't any yet on KZread. Couple months later, I finnally found a video of original Singer being driven on the road and it was you! Chris Harris driving the original singer on the California coast and i fell in love with it even more. 10 years later I'm still here on the other side of screen watching "porn" Chris Harris driving Singer with beautiful roar of engine. Thank you so much Chris.
Chris Harris' first Singer drive video is still one of my favourite videos of his. Then he did the big in-dpeth interview with Rob Dickinson, which is still really interesting. I didn't know Chris was involved with the development of this drop dead, top of the line, all out, give it everything Singer 911. But it really does make sense. Everything about this work of art is exquisite, but the idea of a functional, air cooled, 24 valve motor is very, very impressive. Fantastic work. Oh, and fook me. That sound.
This is what happens when technology and talent greatly combine with the ultimate ingredient, which is love. You can see how everyone involved loves this project. And since it came from the heart, all of it exudes something special. I have just finished the video and am still contentedly grinning. Well done, everybody. I really do wish I can at least see one live one day, let alone be in one!
That is just about the most beautiful car I have ever seen ! I've loved Porsche since I was a teenager and this one is everything I've always wanted in one..
Fantastic video, Chris Harris and Singer go hand and hand, well done Chris !
A masterpiece of an old school design combined with modern engineering and style....outstanding.....utterly outstanding!
I absolutely love it, air-cooled, naturally aspirated, lightweight!!!
What a masterpiece - just totally stunning!
Drove that road many times in a works van and can only imagine the fun he’s had in the singer 😂
I’m going to watch this again and again. Absolute dream car driven by the man you want to see driving it
Everthing is Important... ...the fastodious atention to detail, the impecable craftsmanship, the ode to perfection, the emotional exuberance, the drama... As a piece of ART this car is Baroque on wheels. Velásquez would be proud !
I love cars, as I get older I just really love Porsche, especially when it's the ultimate. Latest version, 997, youngtimer, restomod, backdate, "reimagined". Heaven. ❤️ Singer. ❤️ 911

Can I just ignore the beauty of the car for a sec and say the photography in this video is absolutely stunning. The heel'n'toe shots. the interior/exterior slide shots, the drone shots everywhere but especially at the chicane on track where it seemingly just misses Chris tearing through. Throw in the sound of that engine and it's a feast for the senses. Oh and Chris is pretty cool too.
After driving and very much enjoying my purchased new 964 l started hearing about and seeing videos about the Singer "reimagined" 911. I would have probably just remained curious until l met a gentleman who owned one as l started to ask him about it he said "you need to drive it" . That day l made the arrangements to ship mine off. The build quality exceeds anything else l own (17 cars not counting daily transportation) by miles. As Chris pointed out it's still an old 911 but improved to a level of perfection that can never be matched by a production vehicle. I love Porsches, l have a unrestored all original 69 911, a 68 912, 59 356 Super 90 and a leased 2023 911 as my daily but because l've had the Singer in it's old life and now reimagined not to mention all of the things that had Chris ranting about driving it make every ride an event. It wasn't until l took it on a track day l really got to appreciate that engine, my God it's so linear and refined. Mine is running a soft set up because l planned on driving it alot and l have. It should last the rest of my life, l've put 20k miles on it and have no hesitation of adding many many more.
Singer, Chris Harris - guaranteed quality every time Love this
Good Lord, this car is absolutely GORGEOUS. And that engine. *Le Chef’s Kiss” I just love Chris’ reaction at 18:58. To me, it shows that he really loves all things cars and the littlest things about them bring him great joy.
Ahhh, the sound! I absolutely love this car
Saw a Singer at the FoS, an utterly gorgeous jewel of a car. Fantastic review by Chris H. I just want one so badly
Great to see these being made in the UK now, the quality and fastidiousness to every element make this thing desireable on another level, the passion behind it, its art.
This really takes me back to the old autocar video of the Chris's green 911 'Kermit'. The same enthusiam and vibes from Mr. Harris. Love it!
Superb, Chris Harris. As always. You make me smile.
What a wonderful Environment to Film. Great job
The car is super amazing and exactly what I wanted after having four 80's Porsches in the 80's and 90's. The challenge is the price which in my opinion is astronomical. In the 80s and well into the 90s, you could buy nice Porsches for relatively little money. The 70s Porsches were cheap in the 80s and the 80s Porsches were cheap in the 90s. Today, all Porsches are expensive and many who would like to have such a car and have the knowledge cannot afford it. It's a pitty, but oh my, it's satisfying to see Chris Harris enjoying this amazingly beautiful air-cooled 911.
Chris Harris and a singer in one place? What a time to be alive!
Quite possibly the best car video I've ever seen.. What an amazing car.. Simply Stunning 💚👌🏼
What a priceless jewel of an expression, of a true automotive icon. The close up of the tachometer required a bib to catch the drool lol. As a blue color owner of a “mundane” Boxster S and also having learned to drive in a ‘70’s Porsche I can say that Porsche just “gets it”. If you have the chance own one, even if it’s just a lower priced model, do it.

I like and probably even _love_ quite a bunch of cars and dream about owning this and that (reality: I drive a '97 C280 Estate), but the Singer 911 is the only car on earth that I truly adore, especially as someone who is generally deeply touched by aesthetics and quality craftsmanship etc. Very much looking forward to the next 20 minutes. Edit: beautiful video, amazing car and so cool to see that it was shot where I've actually been myself some three weeks ago while on my little 5-week-roadtrip around the UK, coming from Germany. If I ever win the lottery, I _will_ go mental and order a Singer, and I will love, drive and keep this car until my very last breath. Works of art! Fuck yeah!

We've all been waiting for this. Well done gentlemen. I am sure when you got the trimming bill for your own green 911 homage you little imagined what has happened with the Singer DLS. What's most heartening Chris is you have retained the nose pressed to glass, magazine thumbing, tech obsessing enthusiasm for the driving machine. And whether it's this or the 205 Rallye, the 512M or the 2CV that enthusiast's excitement pours through these videos. Looking forward to the AX GT video.

I just went to a car show with all kinds of exotics. This car was there, unless there's another green one around. Ended up being my favorite car there. Absolutely beautiful.
