Innovation at EAG
Leading Automotive Engineering Excellence
At European Auto Group (EAG), innovation isn’t an idea — it’s our foundation. As the global leader in exotic car gated manual conversions, we combine cutting-edge engineering, advanced manufacturing, and precision craftsmanship to redefine what’s possible in modern automotive performance. From Ferrari and Lamborghini manual conversions to custom prototyping and CNC-machined components, our Austin-based facility pushes the boundaries of automotive design and technology.
Pioneering Engineering & CAD Development
Our in-house engineering department is the core of EAG’s innovation. Using advanced Computer-Aided Design (CAD), 3D modeling, and engineering analysis, we conceptualize and engineer solutions that meet OEM-level standards — and often surpass them.
Our CAD team develops:
-
Full mechanical assemblies
-
Custom shifter mechanisms
-
Pedal boxes & linkage systems
-
Transmission conversion components
-
CAN-bus communication solutions
-
ECU logic for manual transmission functionality
By combining precision drafting with real-world testing, we ensure every component performs flawlessly under demanding driving conditions.
Advanced Prototyping, 3D Printing & Composite Development
Innovation requires rapid iteration — and our facility is equipped to prototype faster and more efficiently than traditional manufacturers.
EAG utilizes:
-
High-temp & carbon-reinforced 3D printing
-
Metal 3D printing for complex geometry
-
Multi-material composite development
-
Mold design & production
-
Rapid functional prototyping
These capabilities allow us to validate designs, test fitment, confirm tolerances, and ensure perfect alignment before we ever cut metal — resulting in superior reliability, performance, and repeatability.
Precision CNC Machining & Manufacturing
Our state-of-the-art CNC machining capabilities allow us to convert engineered concepts into precision-built components. We manufacture parts in-house using aerospace-grade materials including:
-
Billet aluminum
-
420 and 440C stainless steel
-
Chromoly alloys
-
High-strength carbon composites
EAG’s CNC department produces:
-
Gated shift plates
-
Shift towers & housings
-
Pedal assemblies
-
Transmission brackets
-
Custom bushings & hardware
-
Full mechanical conversion kits
Every component is machined to exact tolerances, ensuring factory-level fitment and longevity.
