They released - as is customary - a digital render of the W13 first of all. And it's back from black to silver for the (once more) Silver Arrows. The reigning constructors' champions - and winners of eight of those titles in a row - unveiled their new car on Friday February 18 at Silverstone. We have all the latest of the cars who have launched so far and details on those that are yet to come.

With the first pre-season test beginning on Wednesday February 23 in Catalunya, F1's launch season is now in full swing. Will Mercedes have stolen a march on everyone else? Will Ferrari rise back to the top and contend for the championship? Or will another team surprise from the midfield? The new cars are, in effect (and in theory), simpler-looking, with fewer of the ugly aerodynamic accoutrements that blighted the aesthetic appeal of the previous generation of cars. Not just because of how 2021 played out, with Max Verstappen pipping Lewis Hamilton to the title on the very last lap, but because of the enormous regulation changes that come into effect. The 2022 Formula One season is the most anticipated in recent memory. With the launch season in full swing, Telegraph Sport takes you through the new F1 cars (and liveries) of the sport's new era Is this a sign that Singer is moving away from one-offs and into low-volume production? Time will tell.F1 2022 cars: The latest car and livery launches for the new season Singer has also opened a new shop in Oxfordshire, England, right next door to Williams F1, to build each car as it’s commissioned. Each example will be tailored to each owner, so prices will vary wildly, but you can expect each to fetch high six-figures. Only 75 of these beauties will be bestowed upon us and as for pricing, per usual, it’s on request. Where upholstery usually acts as the primary aspect of the interior design, here it’s merely a complimentary accent to the bare composite and metal bodywork throughout the cabin. Blood-orange leather covers carbon fiber seats and the transmission tunnel. Extensive use of magnesium, titanium and carbon fiber brought the total weight of the car down to 2,180 lbs, or about 200-pounds lighter than the current Miata.Īnd as with any 911 reimagined by Singer, the interior is a thing of beauty with the help of Williams F1, this one is a minimalist masterpiece. If you guessed “yes, many could be,” you’re right. The donor 1990 Porsche 964 was then pored over by the obsessive geniuses at Williams F1, who considered every component to determine if any could be re-engineered and/or rebuilt lighter and stronger. The result is a 500 horsepower, naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six that revs all the way to 9,000 rpm - a work of art, all its own. The engine itself is built from the ground up as an air-cooled engine for the 21st-century, with no expense spared. Well, the wraps just came off the car, and it may be Singer Vehicle Design’s crowning achievement. Earlier this summer, it was announced that Singer Vehicle Design was partnering with both the Williams F1 engineering team and the famous Porsche engine designer and engineer Hans Mezger to create a reimagined 911 powered by a custom built air-cooled flat-six.
