Ricardo Signs Deal to Support Singer With Bespoke Manual Transmissions
13.2.2025 11:00:00 EET | Business Wire | Press release
Ricardo, a global strategic, environmental, and engineering consulting company, has signed a deal to supply bespoke, manual transmissions to Singer’s operations in the US and UK.
The transmissions will be exclusive to Singer and will initially be available to owners who request Singer’s Classic Turbo or DLS Turbo restoration services for their Type 964 Porsche 911.
Singer arrived on the automotive scene with their Classic services in 2009. Since then, the company has developed restoration services allowing owners to personalise both naturally aspirated and turbocharged cars. A Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer is a rare machine, bringing together iconic design with twenty-first century engineering and material science.
Ricardo’s design team will ensure that the transmissions meets the exacting, high performance needs of Singer’s clients. The focus is on delivering an H-pattern transmission able to accommodate the additional demands that a turbocharged car places on the drivetrain. Designed to seamlessly integrate into the existing chassis, the transmission will enable smooth, engaging gear shift operations despite the increased torque and power demands.
The transmissions will be manufactured and tested at Ricardo’s state of the art Midlands Technical Centre in Leamington Spa, UK.
Richard Guest, Managing Director of Performance Products at Ricardo, said: “We are delighted to be working on this significant multi-year project, supplying Singer in the UK and US with a series of transmissions that will support the growth of their customer base. The passion and detail that they demonstrate through these vehicles is a great match with the drivetrain expertise that Ricardo can provide. We look forward to supporting the Singer team on this project and building on our existing relationship.”
Mazen Fawaz, Chief Strategy Officer, Singer Group, notes: “Our approach is always based around execution without compromise. This leads us to seek out and collaborate with the best in the world. An exceptional, truly engaging, manual transmission is an essential part of the remarkable sports cars that we pursue, on behalf of some of the most discerning drivers in the world. We look forward to continuing this pursuit in collaboration with Ricardo.”

Exein Unveils Next-Generation Runtime Security to Protect the AI-Native World23.3.2026 15:00:00 EET | Press release
Exein, the global leader in runtime cybersecurity, today unveiled Photon, a preemptive breakthrough solution that blocks cyberattacks at the point of execution. Designed for the AI-native world - where digital and physical systems are now inseparable - Photon marks a fundamental shift in how critical infrastructure protects itself. Unlike traditional cybersecurity solutions that detect threats after compromise - typically operating in user space and relying on a cloud network - Exein’s Photon operates directly inside the kernel, preventing malicious execution paths before they can run. By blocking attacks before the point of execution, the technology dramatically reduces latency and eliminates entire classes of threats before damage occurs. If malicious instructions cannot execute, the attack itself cannot take place. This advancement establishes a new category of runtime security designed for systems that cannot be disconnected: physical AI and IoT environments, autonomous AI agents,
