British Firm Electrifies Classic Sports Cars For America

There was no shortage of electric restomods on display at SEMA this year. Gateway Broncotransformed the original Bronco into an electric off-roaderand afully electric Honda S2000gave the popular Japanese sports car a new lease of life. We'll be seeing more electric restomods on the road soon because Everrati Automotive is expanding to the US. Based in the UK, Everrati specializes in restoring iconic cars and futureproofing them with electric powertrains.

Everrati's retail expansion to North America comes in response to increasing demand for electric restomods in the US. According to Everrati, many of the company's recent sales were from US clients.

Back in July 2021, Everrati partnered with Superformance, a US manufacturer of 1960s-era continuation sports cars. The two companies joined forces to build thefirst electric Ford GT40. However, the UK technology company is perhaps best known for itselectric Porsche 911that beat Porsche to the punch. Based on a 1991 964-generation model, Everrati's electricPorsche 911produces 500 horsepower and offers a range of 150 miles. Everrati also sells electric versions of the Land Rover Series IIA and Mercedes-Benz W113 SL 'Pagoda.' With an increased presence in the US, we won't be surprised if Everrati adds electrified versions of classic American performance cars like the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Corvette to its lineup.

To expand its global presence, Everrati has appointed Amit Chandarana as its Strategic Advisor. Chandarana has previously worked in marketing roles for Fiat Chrysler and Toyota and will be tasked with "building the company's sales and marketing platforms and client-facing presence in the region." Formula E's Commercial Director David Warren is also joining Everrati as a Board Advisor.
