Half-century-old Porsches like the 1973 Carrera RS two.7 will often be worth huge income, but lately the interest in the collector scene has been focused on youngtimers like the 964 RS three.eight and its motorsport-trimmed RSR brother. So it is no surprise that it is to these models that Everrati turned for inspiration when constructing its most current electric showcase.

Just to be clear, the UK-primarily based electromod outfit didn’t convert a single of the 51 true 964 RSRs to electric energy. That would have sent Porsche fans apoplectic with rage, and wouldn’t have created considerably monetary sense either, provided that they sell for millions of dollars. Instead, it follows its usual plan of taking a stock narrow-shell 964 Carrera and junking the 247 hp (250 PS) three.six-liter flat-six for an electric drivetrain.

Though we haven’t driven a single of Everrati’s creations, we have driven dozens, if not hundreds, of 911s, like a 964 RS three.eight, and the engine is so considerably a component of the car’s identity that it is difficult not to conclude that you’d miss the commence-up shimmy, the off-beat thrum as you perform your way by means of the mid-variety, and the complete-on yowl that greets the rev counter needle when it rushes to headbutt the tach’s red zone.

You can not argue with the efficiency, even though: Everatti claims three.7 seconds to 60 mph (96 kmh), which is most likely close to a second much better than a true ICE RSR could handle. The combustion version created 297 hp (300 PS), and presuming this EV has the identical powertrain package as the company’s prior builds, it is most likely cranking out about 500 hp (507 PS). A 63 kWh battery provides an electric variety of more than 200 miles (322 km) and can accept each AC and DC charging.

But what tends to make this create distinction to prior Everrati creations, of course, is the RSR visual makeover. Wider, carbon bodywork covers 18-inch 3-piece HRE wheels and the interior is each luxurious and spartan, featuring Bridge of Weir leather for the front chairs and a sturdy roll cage exactly where the rear seats employed to reside.

Would we rather have an original gas-powered 911? Yeah, we would, but there’s clearly a steady stream of wealthy buyers who do want these type of conversions, and we suspect that most of them are not deciding on an Everrati more than an ICE Porsche, simply because they currently personal and take pleasure in employing a single of these, also.
