Retrofit: Everrati Delivers Its First Electric Porsche 911

The Californian company Everrati, specialized in converting combustion cars to electric, has taken on the Porsche 911 Type 964.

The debate is eternal and will remain so: is it a sacrilege to transform the mechanical heart of a so-called legendary car into an electric one? The anti-standers will condemn the ecological approach, while the proponents will praise the initiative for blending the past and the present. It’s hard to reach a definitive answer.

The first client of Everrati to receive a transformed Porsche 911 Type 964 is none other than Matt Rogers, co-founder of the home automation brand Google Nest. We could see here a change in trends among wealthy entrepreneurs after years of enthusiasm and hype for Tesla. Its CEO, Elon Musk, is highly divisive and criticized within the United States and Silicon Valley, but the shift to electric remains inevitable. Now, those with the means want to combine aesthetics, rarity, and environmental consciousness. Another form of demagogy, but such has been the world for millennia.

A happy owner

“ I am thrilled to receive my delivery and be the first in the United States to own an Everrati 911 (Type 964),” said Matt Rogers. I’ve been a big fan of the 964 since I was young, and as we rapidly enter the electrification era, I’m excited to immortalize this iconic machine. It perfectly captures the spirit of the times, being sustainable and environmentally conscious while maintaining the character of the air-cooled Porsche era. What sets Everrati apart is its expert ability to redefine a classic with a next-generation powertrain, while preserving its original essence. I went from being an Everrati customer to an Everrati investor, and I am proud to be part of Everrati’s growth in global markets.”

Founded in 2019 by Justin Lunny and Nick Williams, Everrati extensively modifies vehicles that pass through its workshops to ensure they are perfectly coherent in terms of behavior and active safety. In the case of the Porsche 911 “Signature Widebody,” the Californian company replaces the 3.2-liter flat-6 260 hp engine with a powertrain delivering 500 hp and 500 Nm of torque. The energy is stored in a 62 kWh battery with an estimated range of about 320 km.

Oh, we almost forgot: the starting price of this Porsche 911 Version 2.0 is $270,000… excluding options and taxes. Shhh!
