What is it?
Porsche won’t sell an electric 911 for some time, if ever, but a British firm is offering you the chance to own one right now – if you have a 964-generation (1989-1993) classic and a desire to swap its flat six for a battery and motors.
Everrati has broader plans involving other classics, and this wide-body 964 is intended to show what’s possible and the quality and driving experience it aims to offer. The result might by worthy, but your view on whether the effort is worthwhile will be coloured by your takes on old 911s and electrification.
Our test car is powered by a pair of Tesla-sourced AC induction motors, which make a combined total of 500bhp and drive the rear axle through a common input shaft and a limited-slip differential. And as these motors are hung out behind the rear axle, this 964 remains rear-engined.
Finding room for 53kWh of battery cells was a tougher task. Most of it went into the engine bay, but there’s also a secondary site up front, with a high-voltage cable linking the two. In addition, the need to manage the temperature of the batteries means that, unlike the original, this 964 features water cooling, having radiators behind its front bumper.
Other changes include carbonfibre replications of the doors, bonnet, roof and rear deck and a retrimmed interior featuring Porsche’s own DIN-sized aftermarket head unit.
Unusually for an electromod, Everrati’s 964 also gets a CCS port under its former petrol filler flap to support high-speed charging. From the right charger, this can top up the battery from 20-80% in 40 minutes.

Dinocar?
Ah well.
The last word?
Pretty rich since you cant see the irony of what you've just written.
lambo58 the term dinocar you use refers to ICE vehicles in a negative way, so you are not a car fan you really are a P.O.S and have to have the last word every time.
Talk about a warped sense of perspective. So anyone who disagrees with your narrative of what you consider great is a troll. The mere fact that you cant place a rational argument makes you a what? To me what you drive and hark on about is pointless. You will never agree with me and vice-versa. Oh well. Carry on enjoying your racket mobile and we will see how long the EV fad continues as your ancient heap turns into one of lifes buggy whips. End of.
