## Resource

In this episode of MotorTrend’s The Inevitable, we visit Singer Vehicle Design’s headquarters in Torrance, California, for an in-depth conversation with Singer founder Rob Dickinson and CEO Raj Nair, former Ford executive and Multimatic leader. The discussion spans how Singer scaled without sacrificing craftsmanship, why quality trumps speed, what it takes to run a low-volume automotive manufacturer, and why analog driving experiences still matter in an EV-dominated world. Rob and Raj also share insights on hypercars, motorsports, customer obsession, and Singer’s future—from Porsche 911 restorations to Willow Springs Raceway.
