Singen-D: CLK GTR Roadster Xj220,996GT2RS, edit with links
 
I finally visited the Auto Salon Singen, the biggest cardealer/carinvestor I've ever seen :shock: I'ts only 1-1.5 hours away from Zürich, but so far I never managed to go there :bah:

some of you have been there, and it's simply amazing. The Porsches and MB aren't even good enough to get a covered place, there was also a Maybach 62 on outside display :lol:
Inside the showroom, there's large section with vintage cars ( I'm working on these) and some of the rarest cars you can imagine.

CLK GTR Roadster #3 alone is worth the visit
several F's (F40, 612, TR,............)
Jaguar XJ220
996GT3 R 600 Gemballa
996GT2 RS
Diablos, Gallardos, F430 Spider
Gemballa GTR
AM's, bunch of bentley, RR,...

the place is full of cars, hence taking picture is not easy.

this car is strange, SZ in general but ugly from the front IMO...

Fantastic pictures man. That looks like the greatest showroom/dealership in the world right there.


What's the story on the GT2RS? Did someone take a GT2 and strip it down to RS spec?

hamlet 12-28-2006 09:07 AM

Well done man! 8)

What do you mean with actual? the current models (997)
Yes, this is the previous series 996, but I'm not sure if the new 997GT2 already excistes ?

ViperASR 12-28-2006 06:39 PM

nice pics. I think he meant was the 996 GT2 RS actually made? or did someone take a GT2 and make it an "RS". And no, there is no 997 GT2 yet as far as I know.

TT 12-28-2006 06:58 PM

If this isn't the dealer of our dreams!

i'll join you guys, it's also very close from my place and i haven't been there for a while

nice pics!!!!

hmm, the 996 GT2 RS is for sale for more then 2 years now, i wonder why nobody wants to buy it (apart from the price).
the wing is really great, looks awesome!!! it's a gemballa wing, the used a lot of gemballa parts to build this car. the garage which build the car is in the town i live, posted some information about it some time ago --> http://www.porschegt2.ch/

will be released soon, there are a few pics around of a model which has to be be the final one more or less..

pterps 12-29-2006 06:18 AM

Well done StMoritzer, I visited them 8 years ago, I would love to visit them again it's an amazing collection!

Stoopie 12-29-2006 06:45 AM

Lol I don't know why but I just LOVE that rear spoiler on the RS :D

ViperASR 12-29-2006 01:24 PM

^^^
I dont, its a bit excessive, although it does give homage to the "whale tail" on the 993

novass 12-29-2006 03:48 PM

Great pics ST!! I wish my garage looked like that place!

stmoritzer 12-29-2006 07:34 PM

^don't know :hmm:
there are shifters on the steering wheel on the other side ?

dons5 12-29-2006 11:21 PM

ya thats what I meant i know there is a Porsche GT2, I just didnt know they made an RS model of it, which they dont right?

martin100 12-30-2006 04:53 PM

Thanks for the rare CLK-GTR roadster pics! It really has to be a dream to be there, but it´s very far from my home. But if i should be around that area someday i´ll know where to go first :D

komotar 12-30-2006 05:13 PM

nice pics, the CLK is just stunning, but I prefer the version with the roof.

How many roadsters were made? seven?

I know they once stole one normal one in switzerland and they found it in slovenia, near the croatian border... in a backyard covered with sheets...cops thought it was suspicious , lol

Nice pics - that's a place I'd like to go someday... :D

No, all CLK-GTRs have that gear nob. They are SMG boxes with shiftbuttons on the steering wheel. The CLK-GTR I saw had the same dinky knob and it took me some time to figure out what was going on.

stmoritzer 12-31-2006 06:35 PM

^no problem to get in, if you ask first they let you take pics as long as you want :wink:

let's see if we can organise a german-speaking meeting there sometimes in 2007.

Then - having the gear knob like that is absolutely pointless... :roll: :?

It's to put reverse gear :wink:

yeah me too - but the major problem is I guess where to do it

I would say: 24h around the nurburgring -> 10th june 2007 :)

isn't the 10th of June a sunday :hmm:
don't think the dealer is open on sunday :oops: :wink:

let's see in a couple of weeks, I'll try to organize a JW-meeting ...
got the card of the dealer, will contact him to get maybe a special "welcome" or so :wink:
