Everrati Automotive Limited* today said it has a new partnership with Aria Group** to make electric Porsche 911 conversions, aka 964 series, for the US market. Aria has manufacturing plant in Irvine, California, with extensive low-volume manufacturing and composites experience. Today’s announcement follows the recent establishment of Everrati North America in Calabasas, CA.
Everrati’s product range is now available in every major market, it claims. “Surging demand for Everrati products globally is being led by sustainability-conscious millennials and Gen-Z buyers who demand an iconic car from decades such as the 80s and 90s, and demand EV power over ICE,” Everrati said. Everrati buyers are also traditional car collectors with “a passion for the latest in automotive technology… there is one common thread, all Everrati customers are car enthusiasts driven by a desire to enjoy beautiful icons sustainably and responsibly.”
Everrati restores and modifies – aka restomods – existing classic and iconic cars for its customers to enable them to be used and enjoyed in a lower carbon world. Everrati does not manufacture vehicles. Everrati is not associated, approved, endorsed or, in any way affiliated with the manufacturers of the cars it restores. All brand names, logos and crests, along with any other products mentioned are the trademarks of their respective holders, of course.
The 911 (964) by Everrati consists of Coupe, Targa & Cabriolet models in narrow body, wide body and officially-licensed Gulf Editions. Its flagship Signature wide body has a 500-horsepower, 500-Nm EV powertrain with a battery pack capable of delivering an electric, emission-free driving range of up to 200 miles and sub-4-second 0-62 mph acceleration times.
*Everrati™ was founded in 2019 by British entrepreneur Justin Lunny and automotive specialist Nick Williams. Both car enthusiasts from an early age, they became “increasingly conscious of the wider impact combustion engines have on the environment.” Everrati was launched with the vision of restoring iconic models from an earlier era and converting them to electric propulsion. Everrati’s model line-up consists of electric versions of the Porsche 911 (964) Coupe, Targa, Cabriolet in Pure, Signature, and Gulf Signature Editions, Land Rover Series IIA, GT40 in partnership with Superformance including officially licensed Gulf Edition and Mercedes-Benz W113 SL ‘Pagoda’. Everrati designs, develops and builds its cars from a facility in Upper Heyford, Oxfordshire.
**Aria Group has expertise in low-volume, high-end vehicle engineering and manufacturing, supporting world-leading OEMs and restoration specialists. It has direct experience creating vehicles for both Singer Vehicle Design, and Radford Motors (with its Type 62-2). Aria Group claims to use “the latest production techniques and technologies, with quality and precision at the core of its operations.”
