Kaege Retro Porsche 911: The Joker
And somehow it’s now offered for sale? Didn’t expect that…

Always nice to see an enthusiasts expression of what they want in a car. However, this is a perfect case in point of perhaps why? The 993 is perhaps arguably the best looking of all the 911s. My tastes run to Ferrari and more classically styled cars from Italy. That said, even I find the 993 a stunning design and have owned a 993 Cabriolet Twin Turbo. So when I saw the donor car, a particularly rare and beautiful violet colored 993 and realized that car no longer exists and is one lost forever now there seems to be a real loss there. On the one hand Singer using the 964 makes total sense to me as I never found them attractive the way a 356 or 993 or early 911 is. I agree the chassis is light years ahead on the 993, but the 993 is a beautiful car in its own right and I’d prefer to see that car celebrated and enhanced rather than irreversibly attempted to make look like something it never was. Just my $0.02.
