And that is because that is what Everrati does. It takes the engine out of the car and transplants an electric motor instead. This story, though, is the story of a 964-generation Porsche 9111 RSR 3.8.
The Germans only built 51 of these, all featuring a race-ready configuration, rear-wheel drive, and was turbo wide-bodied. Today, the RSR lettering is only available for race cars.
Made in partnership with specialist car manufacturer Aria Group, the electromod sports a hand-built carbon fiber body, which is built around the frame of a regular, restored 964 generation Porsche 911, with no ‘RSR’ lettering, launched back in 1993, and features a new aero package.
The aero package includes the larger rear spoiler inspired by that of the 964 RSR, but also a redesigned front splitter, positioned lower.
In the name of weight saving, the car seats have vanished, a roll cage and lightweight front seats showed up instead, Bothe wrapped in the world’s lowest carbon leather from the company’s partner Bridge of Weir Leather. Everrati still keeps the cabin under wraps.
Everrati futureproofed the model. An electric motor puts this relectromod in motion via a limited slip differential, making it run from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 kph) in 3.7 seconds. A Gen2 OEM-grade 63-kWh battery pack allows it to drive as far as 200 miles on a single charge.
The Porsche 964 RSR 3.electromod is equipped with the TracTive elactronically cotrolled active and adaptive suspension. It rides on 18-inch HRE wheels replicating the original RSR units that the model inherited from the wide body 9111 Turbo of the era. The powertrain in its second iteration, so we can expect more refinement and upgraded performance.
There is, of course, a modern twist to this conversion. Apple CarPlay connectivity is on board. The vehicle can be recharged either by AC or DC fast charging. There is no info on the charging times, though.
The new model was designed and developed at the company’s global headquarters in Oxfordshire and will go into production with Everrati’s partner, Aria Group, based in Irvine, California, before it goes on sale worldwide.
There is no information on pricing. But keep in mind that an Everrati body is a 290,000-pound ($369,090) affair, plus the donor car, we can only expect more this time.
With the RSR, Everrati extended its lineup, which already includes the Porsche 911 (964) Coupe, Targa, the world’s first electric 911 Convertible and the G-Series based on the ST-inspired model. A Ford GT40 and a Mercedes-Benz Pagoda are also in their portfolio.
