    Maybe it’s EVs making us yearn for classic and obnoxious ICE again, or maybe it’s just Generation X feeling nostalgic as it watches its amassing 401Ks, but Reagen era hedonistic sportscars are enjoying a renaissance that most any of us can get behind.

    Take the Ferrari Testarossa. In any other era, a car with those cheese grater intakes on each side would probably be considered extreme, but sitting next to a Lamborghini Countach the Testarossa struck a toned down and almost subtle pose. Add in a factory color yet rare paint like Rosso Metallizzato and it looked even more reserved.

    FYI, there’s just such a car right now at Graham Rahal Performance. If you’re seeking a unique car from this era, this one definitely qualifies. Unlike today, paint to sample services in this era were pretty few and far between, making rare shades such as this one a great get if you want something tailored from the 80s era.

    Why We Love It:

    The DLS formula for Singer reimaginings is a remarkable thing. Launched in 2018, it created perhaps the ultimate specification for a classic 911, complete with all-carbon bodywork and 500 horsepower 4.0-liter flat six developed by Williams Advanced Engineering. The car was both incredibly expensive and very sought-after, making for years of waiting to get one or prices in the millions if you can find one (see above).

    Should you wish to skip the line, Graham Rahal can help assist with this Dark Oliver over Antique Tan example. The black-painted Fuchs-like wheels give it an extra unique appearance even amongst other DLS where exposed silver star protrusions are the typical finish applied. That’s all a very tasteful mix, though there’s a premium attached. Check out the link above for more information, photos and contact details.

    When covering these creations from Singer, we usually like to keep track of the Commission or title name given to the car. We’re not seeing one on this car, nor in the listing so if you happen to know then drop us a line or share it in the comments section below.
