I've seen an Eagle Speedster and a Singer, I don't think you could say the Singer is better executed. The Eagle looks special, its clearly not a standard E-Type, but for the majority of people a Singer is just an old Porsche.

Each to their own. Eagle doesn't even blip on my radar. I completely appreciate that they're fastidious about the craftmanship but the base car is the problem - it carries none of the cachet of a 911.

Really the E-type doesn't have the cachet of a 911? what world are you living in??

It's stunning in a way that no ropey old 964 (apart from the DLS Turbo) could ever hope to be. The 038 builds on this and the 039 knocks it out of the park.

It really doesn't. As venerated as the E-Type may be by some, it's not nearly as well-recognised and revered as the 911.

what world are you living in??

The real world. Where Singers are in huge demand at ludicrous pricing because, well, they're epic.

May be Porsche should start producing their own „singer“ cars.

The car companies should think about why Restomods became so popular, there’s obviously something wrong with modern cars.

It's pretty obvious - modern cars are produced to meet modern requirements in the broadest possible sense to maximise appeal to as wide a customer demographic as possible. The "enthusiast" market is niche.

I don't think there's anything wrong with modern cars but I do feel that restomods' appeal lies in that they bring a classic car experience without that old car feeling.

Thank you very much for your explanation, I agree with you

We still have enthusiast cars, but they’re still not as popular as restomods.

I guess they underestimate the emotions proper engines can produce.

For once I think AI got something right.

Neither car is objectively "better" as they excel in different areas: the Singer 911 focuses on a modern, customizable, and high-performance version of a classic Porsche 911, while the Eagle E-Type offers a bespoke, classic Jaguar experience with modern performance and legendary styling. The choice depends on whether you prefer a modernized classic sports car with extensive personalization options (Singer) or a refined and powerful recreation of a design icon (Eagle).

Singer 911

• Pros:
  • Modern performance: Can achieve performance levels comparable to modern supercars.
  • Extensive customization: Offers deep levels of personalization, allowing owners to create a unique car.
  • Modern engineering: Benefits from modern engineering enhancements, often in collaboration with companies like Williams Advanced Engineering.
  • Modern reliability: More reliable than a truly vintage car due to modern mechanical components.
• Cons:
  • Less of an "original" experience: While it evokes a classic, it is fundamentally a restored and heavily modified modern car.

Eagle E-Type

• Pros:
  • Iconic styling: Based on the universally acclaimed Jaguar E-Type design.
  • Bespoke craftsmanship: Each car is built to order with bespoke components and upgrades.
  • Engaging driving experience: Features highly precise handling, powerful modern brakes, and a special connection between the driver and the car.
• Cons:
  • Higher cost: As a highly bespoke creation, it is often more expensive than the Singer.
  • Potentially less practical: The focus is on a classic driving experience, which may be less comfortable or practical for daily use than the Singer.

Which one should you choose?

• Choose the Singer 911 if you want the ultimate modern, customizable take on a classic sports car that can be tailored to your exact specifications and offers modern performance and reliability.
• Choose the Eagle E-Type if you are captivated by the E-Type's timeless design and want the thrill of driving a modernly engineered recreation of that icon, with a focus on a pure and visceral classic driving experience.
