Ricardo Signs Deal To Support Singer With Bespoke Manual Transmissions

The title of this post, is the same as that of this press release from Ricardo.

These three paragraphs give more details of the deal.

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.

I owned two Porsche 911s. The picture shows my 1969, 911T on the Isle of Skye.

I last heard of it about thirty years ago and it was still going strong in New Zealand.

Are Classic Cars The Future?

Seeing that top-class engineering companies, such as Ricardo, are getting involved, does it mean that rather than drive around in soulless electric cars, drivers will prefer something more interesting.

The Singer web site, certainly has lots of images of Automotive Pornography.
