    Singer Vehicle Design 911, via hotwheels. Friends, let us contemplate why this is awesome. Yes, it has 400hp and yes it’s modified up the wazoo and there’s a half cage in there and that billet filler cap in the centre of the bonnet is capital-C-cool. (That C may also stand for caricature, but let’s leave that aside for now.) But that’s not why this is awesome. It is awesome because it is full of joy. No-one phoned in the original 911. There was no box-ticking, there were no focus groups and above all there was no half-arsed market research that showed that 15% of people thought they needed a special clock on the dashboard to time their once-a-year track day jaunt.
