First Drive: This Porsche 911 by Everrati Turns an Air-Cooled 964 Into a 500-HP EV

Explore the electric Porsche 911 restomod built by Everrati, a British company specializing in EV conversions of classic cars. While restomodded 911s are now commonplace, Everrati’s version stands out by replacing the air-cooled flat-six engine with an electric motor, battery pack, and single-speed transmission—creating a vintage 964-generation 911 with a modern, emission-free twist.

The author, a passionate fan of air-cooled 911s, initially approaches the drive with skepticism. However, the experience proves impressively smooth, quiet, and fast—delivering 500 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque with a 0–60 mph time of 3.7 seconds. The car retains a classic aesthetic and driving feel thanks to a thoughtfully restored interior, custom gauges, and subtle tech additions like a touchscreen and smartphone integration.

The car’s handling is firm but composed, aided by adjustable coilovers, carbon fiber panels, and weight-saving measures that give it a near-original rear-biased distribution. Regenerative braking blends well with the 964 Turbo’s brakes, though the artificial-feeling power steering slightly detracts from the experience.

Built on donor cars with automatic transmissions (to preserve rare manual 964s), the conversion is fully reversible—but it’s unlikely any owner would choose to revert. Most buyers haven’t owned air-cooled Porsches before; they want the classic look without the maintenance or quirks of vintage ICE powertrains.

Ultimately, the Everrati 911 EV is a beautifully built, high-performance daily driver or canyon carver, appealing not to purists but to a new kind of enthusiast—someone who values vintage style and modern convenience over the original’s mechanical soul.
