Electric conversion specialist Everrati has released its most driver-focused creation yet in the shape of a homage to the legendary Porsche 911 964 RSR. 

Based on an original 964 donor car, the new car features a state-of-the-art electric powertrain and a 63kWh battery good for 200 miles of driving. We don’t know exactly how much power the Everrati has but we do know it’s all sent to the rear wheels via a limited slip differential and it’s enough to get the car from 0-60mph in 3.7 seconds - a full second quicker than the original. 

Just 51 examples of the 964 RSR were built in the early 1990s, making the race-ready factory car one of the rarest variants of that generation. 

To create its homage, Everrati took a previously restored narrow-body 964 and went on a mission to lighten and strengthen the car. All-new carbon fibre bodywork includes a larger rear spoiler inspired by the one on original RSRs and a new front splitter, while lightweight 18-inch wheels from HRE replace the original rims. Inside, the rear seats have been removed completely and replaced with a roll cage, while the front seats have been replaced with lighter sports seats wrapped in Bridge of Weir leather. 

Everatti is tight-lipped on how its model compares weight-wise to the original but says that weight distribution is comparable to the 1990s model. 

Under the eye-catching skin, the 964 RSR tribute is far more technologically advanced than the car that inspired it. The latest Gen2 version of Everrati’s battery and power management system brings improved cooling and a more refined version of its drive controller, and the chassis has been upgraded with electronically controlled adaptive damping - a major leap forward from the original car's passive adjustable setup. 

Everrati has previously created battery-powered versions of the Porsche 964 Targa, Land Rover Defender, Ford GT40, and the “Pagoda” Mercedes-Benz W113 SL, as part of what founder and CEO, Justin Lunny, calls its mission to “preserve the legacy of iconic vehicles while advancing the transition to sustainable luxury mobility”.

The RSR tribute features carbon fibre aero elements and a pared-back interior
