Everrati Debuts Its First US Built Porsche 964 911 EV Conversion

Electrified Classic

The UK-based company known as Everrati has been churning out all-electric versions of various classic vehicles for some time now, models from the likes of Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover, and Ford/Shelby. In the Porsche realm, it covers a pretty wide spectrum of 911s, in fact, ranging from regular narrow-body models to wide-body cars, Cabriolets, and the 964 generation. This particular 964 911 EV is also a bit special in that it's the very first one built in the U.S., too.

Stunning Machine

Finished in Miami Blue, this 964 is certainly a stunning car to look at, and one that few would guess was all-electric - if they weren't around to hear it moving silently, at least. However, it's certainly not stock underneath that bright blue paint, as it sports carbon fiber bodywork to go along with a host of modifications completed by Aria Group in Irvine, California, with the process of the EV powertrain installation being overseen by Everrati itself.

Some Clues

Few would guess that this isn't just some normal 911 by looking at it, save for a few modifications to the bodywork, but there are some clues inside the cabin - a power flow gauge, a custom shifter, and other EV-related instrumentation, all wrapped up in a neatly, expertly-done interior reminiscence of finer restomods.

One Big Difference

The main differences between this 964 and a regular 911 from this generation, of course, stem from its powertrain. That consists of Tesla's electric motor paired with a 53 kWh battery pack, good enough for a solid output of 500 horsepower. Despite this, Everrati manages to maintain the 911's original driving characteristics, however.

Just Like ICE?

In fact, Everrati claims that this 911 EV touts a 40/60 weight distribution - just like its ICE counterpart - and it even weighs anywhere between 40 and 70 pounds less, depending on the configuration and options buyers choose. This particular build has a steel roof rather than a carbon fiber unit so that the owner could have a sunroof, but that also adds mass, as one might imagine.

Swift Performance

Regardless, performance is indeed swift, with 0-60 taking a mere 3.6 seconds, according to Everrati, though it obviously doesn't offer up the visceral satisfaction of an air-cooled flat-six. There are some benefits one gains by giving that up, however, such as instant torque, better-than-stock acceleration, and the ability to "fuel up" at home, coupled with less maintenance, to name just a few.

Not For Everyone

Obviously, a 911 EV isn't for everyone, and there will certainly be people who consider such a thing to be blasphemous. However, Everrati doesn't exactly build these cars en masse, as each sports a price tag north of $300k - making it more of a rich person's toy than a daily commuter that one will see populating the roads during their early drive to the office.
