Everrati Reimagines the Last Air-Cooled Porsche 911, and It’s Stirring Controversy

With just 435 units ever produced—and likely far fewer still driving today—the 993-generation Porsche 911 Turbo S remains one of the rarest and most coveted 911 models. Spotting one for sale is nearly impossible, but Everrati offers an alternative: transforming a standard 993 911 into a Turbo S lookalike. The twist? Instead of the iconic air-cooled flat-six, it comes powered by an all-electric drivetrain. Yes, electric.

Everrati, a UK-based firm, is known for giving classic icons a modern twist by converting them to electric power. Its portfolio includes the 964-generation Porsche 911, the Pagoda-era W113 Mercedes-Benz SL, and several vintage Land Rovers. The company even offers an electric version of the Ford GT40—though, reassuringly, it limits this transformation to replicas rather than genuine originals.

Everrati Expands Lineup With 993 Porsche 911

Unveiled at this month’s Monterey Car Week, the new 993 Porsche 911 Founders Edition marks Everrati’s first venture into the final generation of air-cooled 911s—and it’s a beauty. Not only does it capture the timeless design many enthusiasts consider the pinnacle of Porsche styling, but it’s also crafted to a standard that rivals, and in some respects even surpasses, the original factory build quality.

As with every Everrati EV conversion, the process begins with a thorough inspection and complete restoration of the donor chassis, which the company usually provides. From there, Everrati fits its proprietary electric powertrain, designed to be fully reversible. This means the system can be removed, allowing the car to be returned to its original specification if the current or a future owner chooses.

A key part of Everrati’s approach is tailoring each powertrain to the specific model it’s installed in. This ensures the driving experience stays as faithful as possible to the original—just without the exhaust note or emissions. Much of this comes down to careful placement of components to preserve the car’s classic weight distribution. Thanks to extensive use of carbon fiber bodywork, the electrified 993 even tips the scales at nearly the same 3,300 pounds as the factory version.

Stronger Performance Than the Original

At the heart of the build is a rear-mounted electric drive unit paired with a limited-slip differential. The setup delivers an impressive 760 horsepower and 597 pound-feet of torque, enabling the car to sprint from 0–60 mph in just 3.3 seconds. That’s notably quicker than the original 993 Turbo S, which managed the run in about four seconds with its 444-hp twin-turbo 3.6-liter flat-six.

The electric drivetrain draws energy from a 63-kilowatt-hour battery, strategically split between the front and rear to optimize weight distribution. Everrati estimates a range of roughly 200 miles under mixed driving conditions. The system supports DC fast charging at up to 100 kilowatts, though it uses only a CCS connector. Under ideal conditions, charging from 20% to 80% takes approximately 25 minutes.

Production will be extremely limited, with only nine examples planned, and Everrati expects most to go to U.S. buyers. While pricing hasn’t been officially disclosed, it’s likely to carry a significant premium over the roughly $450,000 starting price of the company’s 964 EV conversions.
