A dime a dozen in 2023, Porsche 911 restomods can be found on every corner of the internet and are dominated by stalwarts by Singer and Guntherwerks. Everrati is another name that will be familiar in automotive circles by now, but perhaps not for the right reasons. The British company specialises in conversions of classics into fully electric vehicles. Their latest project follows the same recipe and is a tribute to the 3,8-liter 964 RS.

Everrati’s approach involves replacing the iconic flat-six engine of the 911 with two electric motors situated behind the rear axle. To maintain the car’s weight distribution, the batteries are strategically placed both in the front and rear. This method aims to preserve the unique character that the 911 has maintained for over six decades.

While Everrati’s electric 911s are acclaimed for being enjoyable to drive and cost-effective, providing a zero-emission solution for the classic 911 look in a future without combustion engines, their latest model raises questions.

On this specific occasion, the British tuning company has been inspired by the 964 RSR boasting the 3,8-litre flat six. All of the exterior hallmarks remain including that sultry widebody and significant wing. Everrati’s version offers the expected under-the-surface changes, although likely better built and more environmentally friendly, boasting a 0-60 time of 3,7 seconds (approximately one second quicker than the original), the model may not be as visceral and engaging as its forebearer.

Under the skin lies an OEM-grade 63 kWh battery pack and battery management system. With OEM-grade high-performance electric motors delivering electrifying power to the rear wheels via a limited slip differential, the RSR-inspired version enables an emission-free range of more than 200 miles and 3,7 second 0-60 mph acceleration. – Everrati.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
