100% agree with you, Matt....the Singers are much more my style.

Definitely. The Singer Porsches have all of the beautiful simplicity of early 911s, with just the right amount of aggressive looks and upgrades. The personalization choices on Singer Porsches is amazing- mild to wild, and everything in between.

Anyone know if GT Spirit is making an M4 GTS? They nailed the E92 version of the GTS. It´s one of my favourite models,so
I´d love to have an F82 M4 GTS as well.

Thanks Gavin! :okay:

Yes, I know of the Minichamps one. I have´nt seen one IRL but I´m not sold on the overall look of that model. The wheels look a bit too big. And the whole car looks very low. GT Spirit usually nail the wheels, stance and overall appearence. I´m not too fussy about the model having to be metal and have opening doors etc. I just want correct proportions and good finishing.

(I guess I will be banned from here now :o :lol: )

Haha, I think you're safe for expressing your opinion here. It's other diecast sites where that's frowned upon.

I agree with you. I think the Minichamps model looks fine overall, but I think a GT Spirit model would have just a bit more finesse, especially with the wheels, stance, and proportions. They usually do a fantastic job.

As much as I am a resin naysayer, I'll concede the win to GT Spirit on this one. I'm not sure why the hood fitment is so bad on the Minichamps.

Sent an e-mail to GT Spirit asking if there was any plans to make an F82 GTS. And I recieved the answer below...
Dear Sir,

I've well received your mail and I transfer your suggestions to the competent service.

Thanks for the interest you show us.

Bien cordialement, Best regards, Freundliche Grüße, Cordialmente,

At least they know I´m interested. Haha! :lol: But.... :fingercrossed:

Definitely not perfect but it's not too bad..I was able to get one for about $110 Canadian (75 euros). For that price it's not bad. I rather the wheels be too big than too small!

Some of the models will be Diecast, priced around 79,90€. I am curious and looking forward to them :-)
