White over brown is a great combo.

Ignoring how crazy you all are with that funky brown. Swapping the black alcantara out on a GTS is just wrong.



Ok yes, the image is huge but that's just to emphasize how wrong you all are.

I would not order a brown interior on a car, particularly not with a white exterior, but it doesn't offend me

That thing is badass but I think I like the “standard” singer look better.

Sometimes I get the impression Singer is too showy and this 500hp number is an example of that. the actual acceleration times of the cars are not stupendous, which tells you it's too much focus on the peak number and not the area under the curve.

and they're starting to look a tad overwrought.
