Everrati creates electric homage to ultra-rare Porsche 911 3.8 RS

Combining motorsport-inspired looks with electric performance, the 3.8 RS tribute is said to be Everrati's most driver-focused 911 to date.

Everrati has pulled the wraps off its latest electric restomod 911, which recreates one of the rarest and most valuable Porsches of all.

Like Singer Vehicle Design, Theon Design and others, Everrati uses a classic 964 model as its starting point. Its new project pays homage to the legendary 3.8 RS, an ultra-rare special edition from 1993.

In keeping with the RS it seeks to emulate, Everrati says the new model will feature lightweight upgrades and a greater focus on driving enjoyment.

Wing and a prayer

The original Porsche 911 3.8 RS was designed for use in motorsport. Just 104 cars were produced, with 49 in racing RSR spec and 55 for the road. Power came from an enlarged flat-six producing 300hp – 40hp more than the standard 3.6-litre 964 RS.

Everrati’s homage is based on a restored, narrow-bodied 964 Carrera, before adding an RS-inspired carbon fibre bodykit and 18-inch HRE alloy wheels. There are Carrera RS badges, too, although you’ll note the obvious absence of twin exhaust tailpipes.

On the inside, the rear seats have been removed. There are lightweight buckets trimmed in Bridge of Weir leather for the driver and passenger. A rear roll cage is installed, too.

Electric performance

Powering the Everrati is a 63kWh battery pack, which drives the rear wheels via a limited-slip differential. The Oxfordshire-based company claims a 0-60mph time of only 3.7 seconds. An original 964 3.8 RS requires 4.9 seconds to reach the same speed.

Tractive adaptive suspension is fitted, and the Everrati offers AC and DC fast charging capability. With a full battery, the car’s range is said to exceed 200 miles.

As with its other 964-based conversions, the new RS homage will be produced by Everrati’s production partners, Aria Group, in Irvine, California. The company has seen plenty of demand for Porsche restomods, with lead times now stretching up to 12 months. 

Everrati Founder and CEO Justin Lunny said: “This exciting new addition to our range of redefined and electrified 911s is without doubt the most driver-focused yet.

“Paying homage to a legendary model from three decades ago, our new ‘RSR’ gets pulses racing with a host of lightweight enhancements, resulting in an unrivalled experience that combines the best of classic design with modern, zero-emission performance.”
