Everrati completes build of first electric Porsche 911 964 for US market
Porsche 911 964
Everrati Automotive, one of the foremost technology companies specialising in the redefining and futureproofing of automotive icons through the integration of cutting-edge electric vehicle powertrains, has completed the build of its first 911 for the US market. Featuring a state-of-the-art OEM-grade electric powertrain designed and developed at the firm’s global headquarters in Oxfordshire, England, the full build of the redefined 964 has been carried out to the highest standards by Everrati’s technical partner, Aria Group, based in Irvine, California. Regular readers will recall our review of Everrati’s 964 Gulf Signature Edition EV, which graced the cover of the January 2022 edition of 911 & Porsche World. This proved to be our biggest-selling issue of the year, highlighting how interest in converting classics to electrification is at an all-time high, even if Porsche purists baulk at the idea of a once aircooled model now running on battery power.
Whichever side of the fence you sit on, there’s no denying automotive electrification’s continually evolving engineering is truly fascinating. Aria Group has peerless expertise in low-volume, high-end vehicle engineering production supporting world-leading OEMs and reimagination specialists, an arrangement which enables Everrati to manufacture on both sides of the Atlantic — with multiple 964 models in build, demand for the British brand’s products is surging in North America. The first completed US-built cars are now ready for delivery and signify Everrati’s continued growth in all global markets and momentum as a go-to creator of dream car electrification, a reputation bolstered by the popularity of the company’s Range Rover Classic, Land Rover Defender, Land Rover Series, Superformance GT40 and Mercedes-Benz W113 SL ‘Pagoda’ EV restoration builds. “It is a huge milestone for us to see the completion of our first US customer car, which will now undergo final pre-delivery testing before handover to its owner,” says Everrati founder and CEO, Justin Lunny. “This is both a sign of our rapidly growing presence in markets around the globe, especially North America, and a representation of the shifting paradigm in car ownership for a conscious, progressive, and responsible generation of classic vehicle enthusiasts.”
LEADING THE CHARGE
Everrati’s Signature wide-body 911 is based on a fully restored 964 featuring carbon-fibre body elements and a fully electric powertrain with a 62kWh battery pack and advanced power management system, capable of delivering an emission-free range of more than two-hundred miles and the sprint from rest to 60mph in less than four seconds. Combined AC and DC fast charging is key to the high-tech specification. “Our Signature 911 is a truly sustainable supercar. I’d like to thank Aria Group in showing just why it is the leader in low-volume, high-end vehicle engineering and production,” Lunny remarks, whilst revealing the owner of the first US-built Everrati 911 specified the car in OEM Mexico Blue over Bridge of Weir Dark Blue leather. Bronze HRE split-rims also feature. To find out more about Everrati’s range of electric classic cars, head over to the company’s website, which can be found at everrati.com.
