About Autobionics

At Autobionics, we don't simply modify vehicles—we engineer complete powertrain and vehicle systems.

Founded by Steve Austin, Autobionics combines decades of experience in mechanical engineering, electronics, software integration and vehicle development to create bespoke solutions for projects that demand more than off-the-shelf components.

Whether integrating a Porsche PDK transmission into a bespoke supercar, developing standalone transmission control strategies, designing custom driveline components or solving complex CAN communication challenges, every project is approached with the same objective: engineer the right solution.

Our customers range from individual enthusiasts building unique vehicles to specialist manufacturers and motorsport teams looking for expertise that bridges mechanical design, electronics and calibration.

What We Do

Autobionics specialises in complete powertrain integration and advanced vehicle engineering.

Our capabilities include:

  • Porsche PDK transmission integration

  • Standalone ECU and TCU development

  • CAN bus analysis and reverse engineering

  • Bespoke wiring harness design

  • Mechanical design and CAD

  • Custom drivetrain components

  • Prototype manufacture

  • Vehicle calibration and validation

  • Hub dynamometer testing and development

Rather than supplying individual parts, we focus on complete engineered systems where every component works together as intended.

Engineering Without Compromise

Modern high-performance vehicles rely on sophisticated interaction between mechanical systems, electronic control units and software.

Successfully integrating these systems requires an understanding of how every component communicates and behaves under real-world operating conditions.

That philosophy underpins every Autobionics project.

From transmission control strategies and torque management to custom flywheels, adapter systems and chassis integration, every solution is developed through testing, validation and refinement—not assumption.

Innovation Through Development

Research and development are central to everything we do.

Current development programmes include:

  • Standalone Porsche PDK transmission control

  • Advanced transmission calibration

  • High-performance powertrain integration

  • Hub dynamometer development

  • Custom electronic control systems

  • Vehicle communication networks (CAN bus)

Many of these projects involve solving engineering challenges that have not previously been documented, resulting in unique solutions developed entirely in-house.

Why Choose Autobionics?

Every vehicle is different.

Every project has its own challenges.

Rather than forcing customers into standard packages, we develop solutions tailored to the specific vehicle, powertrain and performance objectives.

Clients choose Autobionics because they need engineering expertise that spans multiple disciplines—from mechanical design and manufacturing through to electronics, software and vehicle calibration.

Our Philosophy

Engineering should be driven by understanding, not guesswork.

We believe that the best results come from careful analysis, rigorous testing and attention to detail.

Whether the project involves a bespoke road car, a motorsport application or a prototype development programme, our aim remains the same:

Deliver reliable, elegant engineering solutions that perform as intended.
