I just saw that and this

I think if I were ever to be in a position to get a resto mod 911, it’d be the gunther works or one of Singer’s new 930 themed ones.

I would be tempted to take the Tuthill over a Singer, lightweight and revy engine are pretty appealing, as is the slightly more authentic look.
Mind you, Singers are lovely. Probably have to have both!

TBH if I had the money I’d need to consider ordering a Singer in the first place I could afford to get all three

It seems like a conflict of interest with SInger, given that Tuthill carry out development work for them.

Tuthill's been doing these commissions for years, way before Singer existed.Jimexpl wrote: Sat Aug 20, 2022 4:27 pm It seems like a conflict of interest with SInger, given that Tuthill carry out development work for them.
See Kermit as an example circa 2007

Came here to post this. Stay in for the bit with Richard Tuthill driving it at the end.

Just watched it too, and passed it on to a few that will appreciate. Quite a thing, although if my experience of bike engines is any metric, you'll find that exercising an engine to 11k rpms takes some room.. although they at least took it to my fave "local" road to try

Wowsers. This is much superior to pretty much any Singer IMO. The Williams engine'd one probably has the engine to match, but aesthetically it can't touch this.

I reluctantly clicked on that over a bite of lunch. I'm not usually an enormous fan of restomod efforts. 
But.
Wow.
What an object.

Wow, though I'm sure Harris is aware of bike-engined cars like the Westfield Megablade with a higher rev limit.

Very nice.. I know they’re school mates but you can tell Monkey really likes that. And why wouldn’t he!? Looks an absolute blast and plenty of nuance to keep improving rather than being able to use all the performance straight away 
Don’t think they mentioned the price? And a full carbon body will be expensive.. incredible! What’s with the reverse gear? How is that better/lighter than normal??

I've seen $850k (USD) quoted elsewhere (around £675k). No idea if that is an official price.

Im presuming its some sort of electric motor (Maybe). He says in the video he wanted to keep the lightweight Porsche gearbox casing and used the reverse gear space to give another forward cog.IanF wrote: Tue Aug 29, 2023 3:05 pm Very nice..

I wonder if it is something very basic with a concept similar to the below.scotta wrote: Tue Aug 29, 2023 3:21 pmIm presuming its some sort of electric motor (Maybe).
