Quite simply, the most beautiful sports car I have ever seen. Ever. Congratulations on a superb job!

Absolutely incredible- ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE, what a masterpiece this is. Congratulations to all involved.

The black dino is something else. Wow, just wow.

loved the 246 on first sight in 1970's thanks for sharing

I feel the same way about the wheels on his car that I feel about Marmite, as if that meant anything. This guy does everything I would do if I could. Excellent video. Thank you very much for sharing this.

Now this is very special... A beautiful car, and not just a pretty showpiece. Geniune driving ability too.. Fantastic!

My first dream car period! The mechanical modernization just made me dreaming about owning one! Wish me luck in winning the Power Ball!

That exhaust note gave me an eargasm!

Absolutely stunning piece of “re-engineering”. Bravo 👏🏻 Took me back to the early 1970’s, I worked on & drove Sir George Dowty’s personal pilots Dino. I was heavily into Minis back then and that car blew my mind. This one would probably cause it to implode !! Absolute joy to watch and listen to & a comment section devoid of stupid, ignorant remarks. Thanks for sharing 👌

Same car as on Jay Lenos garage and I utterly love it. Dream car.....wow.

Brilliant , Beautiful and practical, I love it, all power to you Mototechnique !

The Brits are simply the finest classic car techs in the World, bar none! Simply incredible engineers! If I ever win the Lottery this is going to be my first purchase! No budget constraints! Simply the sexiest Ferrari ever built. No 458 or 488 for me! Thanks guys for this exquisite piece of engineering magic! 👍🏻

Agreed, also singer and out law porsches are designed by an english men.

I've never really wanted a Ferrari (other than an F40) but that Dino is utterly beautiful.

Lots of commenters are in love with how this engine sounds, and rightly so. Here's the deal: Ferrari V8s use 'flat-plane' crankshafts (FPC), which have a totally different cylinder 'firing order' than the usual 'cross-plane' V8, so they produce a distinctly different sound. Ferrari's V8s are, of course, sophisticated and high-revving engines. This combination makes that glorious noise. Historically, FPCs were reserved for racing engines, as they produce uncomfortable vibrations that are difficult to tame. But modern noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) mitigation techniques, like active engine mounts and so forth, can refine the feel of a FPC V8, so they are becoming more common in regular production engines. The Ford Mustang GT350, for one example, has a FPC. It's reported that the upcoming super-duper C8 Corvette will also have a FPC.

David Lee's car. Amazing.

Such an awesome car! The only thing I don't like are the wheel arch flares. I think it would look better if they where curved and blended in.

I’d hardly noticed them.. I think it was an option at the time to have the cars with or without..

Achingly beautiful car. There are several cars out there that I would give my right arm for. Aston Martin db5, Ferrari 250gto, audi r8 etc etc. But this just does it for me.

From what I've read elsewhere, apparently the Dino is a few hundred pounds lighter than a US spec F40. That's somewhat of a surprise and rather commendable indeed. Because I, like many others, have never been a fan of the oddly-badged runt, Dino. I didn't realize that much of the reason why is because of its gutless 6-cylinder motor. This upgraded motor definitely establishes a significant, monster-level amount of respect in comparison. Fantastic handmade work. Just beautiful, unobtrusive, functional engineering. Mobile, very loud art. That Motec ECU could manage the turbos if he wanted to install those as well. hehehe Maybe 550hp pushing behind a 2400lb car. That would be interesting... or exciting... or both

It's amazing how few details can improve Dino's aesthetics so much, this car wouldn't look out of place next to a Miura. However I think it would need Ferrari wheels. F40 wheels or 288 GTO wheels would fit better.

So David Lee called it Monza Dino Evo 3.6, with the 3.6 badge on the engine and in the back. David Lee never disclosed the factory that helped made this happened, but wanted to sell the same car 25 times (probably for a higher price than his own 3.6 Evo was made). Now the factory came out to claim that they made the Evo 3.6, the car looked 99% the same but without Dino gt badge in the back and no "3.6 Evo" on the engine. Same gear and engine and everything. Hmmm... Great car, but I keep my opinion about the people involved.

Kevin O'Rourke, at Moto Technique Limited, said early in the video that they had the room to upgrade the tires & brakes due to the extra space in the wheel wells. I think he must have been referring to the extended lip on the outside of the fenders. While taking into consideration the small car that this is, the better solution is to find room to tub the inner fenders much like the "resto-mod" shops do when they upgrade to larger, wider rubber. If Kevin had taken the other route, and "swelled" the flair of the fenders, it probably would have substantially changed the beautiful profile of the original body. It would be a very delicate balancing act, finding adequate space under the fenders and still preserving the beauty of the original shape. I have to agree with Vincent T. at the top of the page though. As much as I admire what Singer has done creating a fabulous upgrade to the original 901/911, I'd take this piece of artwork any day! Aside from all of that... I WANT ONE!! ;^)
