Everrati Review: The Electric Restomod Company Behind the Porsche 911, GT40, and Defender EVs

Ask most people to name a European electric restomod house and they’ll say Totem or one of the Italian names. But the company actually converting the widest range of iconic vehicles — Porsche 911s, Land Rover Series IIAs and Defenders, Mercedes-Benz SL “Pagodas,” and even a Ford GT40 — is a British company most people outside the classic-car world have never heard of: Everrati.

Everrati’s pitch is different from most single-model restomod houses. Founder Justin Lunny built the company around the idea that almost any beloved classic can be reimagined as a zero-emissions version of itself, without losing what made the original special. The team is stacked with engineers pulled from McLaren, Rimac, Zenvo, and Bentley, and the company operates out of Upper Heyford, Oxfordshire — inside what it calls the UK’s “motorsport triangle,” the dense cluster of Formula 1 and high-performance engineering firms that also includes Williams and Red Bull Racing.

I’ve gone through Everrati’s full conversion lineup, the engineering behind its approach, and how the company compares to the other big names doing electric classic-car conversions. Here’s my full breakdown of what Everrati builds in 2026, the story behind the company, and where it sits against the competition.

The Story Behind Everrati

Justin Lunny is a serial entrepreneur with more than 30 years across fintech, automotive, education, and sustainability, rather than a traditional car-industry lifer. That outsider’s perspective shows in Everrati’s structure: instead of specializing in one platform the way Gunther Werks or Emory Motorsports do, Lunny built a company designed to electrify multiple different automotive icons using a shared engineering playbook.

Everrati has assembled a genuinely elite technical team, recruiting specialists from McLaren, Rimac, Zenvo, and Bentley. That pedigree matters — converting a 1960s Porsche or Land Rover to electric power without ruining what makes it feel special is a harder engineering problem than it sounds, and Everrati’s team has the credentials to back up the attempt.

The company has also built a B2B arm, “Powered by Everrati,” which licenses its conversion technology and engineering expertise to other manufacturers rather than keeping it exclusive to Everrati’s own builds — including a partnership announced with Dubai hypercar maker W Motors. It’s a sign the company sees itself as an EV-conversion technology business as much as a boutique car builder.

What Everrati Actually Builds

Everrati’s lineup spans four distinct classic platforms, each converted to a bespoke electric powertrain while keeping the original bodywork, chassis, and character intact.

Porsche 911 (964) — The Flagship Conversion

Everrati’s best-known build starts from a classic 964-generation 911 and swaps in an electric powertrain producing roughly 500 hp and 500 Nm of torque, with sub-4-second 0-60 mph acceleration from a 62 kWh battery good for around 200 miles of range. Available as Signature Coupe, Cabriolet, Targa, RSR, and ST variants, and built in California in partnership with Aria Group, pricing starts around £250,000 (about $325,000) before the donor car, which typically pushes the all-in total toward £300,000.

Mercedes-Benz SL “Pagoda” — The Grand Tourer Conversion

Unveiled in 2023, Everrati’s electric take on the iconic W113 “Pagoda” SL keeps the car’s elegant 1960s lines while replacing the inline-six with an electric powertrain and modern convenience features. Reviewers who’ve driven it have come away describing it as more usable and, in some respects, more enjoyable than the original combustion car — a claim Everrati leans into directly in its own marketing.

Land Rover Series IIA and Defender — The Off-Road Conversions

Everrati’s electric Land Rover Series IIA uses a 215-hp electric drivetrain with instant torque, retaining the original’s aluminum bodywork and off-road capability while adding modern cabin heating, heated seats, and a heated windscreen. Pre-orders opened in September 2021, and the lineup has since expanded to Defender-based builds, including a specialty variant designed for yacht-tender duty.

GT40 — The Electric Race Car Reimagined

Built in partnership with California-based Superformance, Everrati’s electric GT40 uses a twin-motor setup producing 800 bhp and 590 lb-ft of torque from a 60 kWh battery with 700V fast-charging hardware, reaching 60 mph in under four seconds and topping out at 125 mph — all in a car that, fully assembled, weighs just over 1,300 kg, lighter than a fueled-up race-spec V8 GT40. It even pipes in artificial V8 engine sound with selectable virtual gears in its Race mode.

Program Specifications at a Glance

Engineering Details Worth Knowing

Everrati’s approach leans heavily on treating each conversion as a from-scratch engineering exercise rather than a generic EV crate-motor swap.

Deliberately Under-Specified Batteries

Rather than chasing the biggest possible battery and range figure, Everrati has, in at least the Porsche 911 program, intentionally used a smaller battery pack to keep weight down and preserve the handling balance the donor car was known for — treating these as what the company calls “A-to-A cars” for spirited weekend driving rather than long-distance EVs.

A Multi-Platform Engineering Playbook

Because Everrati converts everything from a Porsche sports car to a Land Rover off-roader to a Ford GT40 race car, the company has had to build a genuinely flexible electric powertrain and battery-integration methodology rather than one bespoke solution per model — closer in spirit to Kindred Motorworks’ shared-platform approach in the US than to a single-marque specialist like Gunther Werks.

The Powered by Everrati Licensing Business

Everrati’s decision to license its EV-conversion technology to other manufacturers, including a partnership with W Motors, suggests the company is positioning its engineering know-how as a product in its own right — a meaningfully different business model from restomod houses that only ever sell finished cars.

Everrati vs Kindred Motorworks vs Lunaz

The most useful comparisons for Everrati are the other multi-platform EV-conversion companies rather than single-model specialists: Kindred Motorworks in the US, which I’ve already covered, and Lunaz, a fellow British company converting classic Range Rovers, Jaguars, and Rolls-Royces to electric power.

My honest read: Kindred is the value play of the three, with a Bronco starting under $200,000 and a genuinely standardized, higher-volume production process. Lunaz sits closest to Everrati in positioning — both are UK-based, both work across multiple prestige platforms — but Lunaz has stayed focused on Land Rover, Jaguar, and Rolls-Royce, while Everrati has pushed into a wider spread that includes a race car (the GT40) alongside road cars. If you want the broadest platform range and a company also selling its technology to other manufacturers, Everrati is doing something distinct from both. If you want the most affordable entry point into electric restomodding, Kindred remains the value leader of the group.

The Ownership Experience

Like most builders at this level, Everrati’s cars are effectively commissioned rather than bought off a lot — most models are listed as POA (price on application), with the final figure depending heavily on the donor car’s condition, chosen variant, and specification level. The California-built Porsche program, run in partnership with Aria Group, shows Everrati is willing to manufacture close to its customer base rather than insisting on UK-only production, which likely shortens delivery timelines and simplifies servicing for American buyers specifically.

Why Multiple Platforms Instead of One

Most of the restomod houses in this series pick one iconic car and go deep — Gunther Werks and Emory Motorsports with different eras of Porsche, Totem and Kimera with Alfa Romeo and rally history respectively. Everrati’s bet is closer to Kindred’s: build a reusable EV-conversion methodology, then apply it to whichever classic platforms have strong enough brand recognition and emotional pull to justify the engineering investment. The GT40 program in particular shows Everrati is willing to go beyond comfortable daily-driver conversions into genuinely difficult territory — electrifying an actual vintage race car chassis.

2026 Status

Everrati continues active development and delivery across its Porsche, Land Rover, Mercedes, and GT40 programs, alongside its growing “Powered by Everrati” licensing business. The W Motors partnership signals the company is expanding beyond direct-to-consumer restomods into supplying EV-conversion technology to other automakers — a meaningfully different growth path than any other company in this Car Builder Spotlight series has taken.

Verdict

Everrati is what happens when a company decides the real opportunity in classic-car electrification isn’t picking one icon and perfecting it, but building a transferable engineering platform and applying it everywhere the brand recognition justifies the cost. The results — a 500-hp electric 964, an 800-bhp electric GT40, a more usable electric Pagoda, off-road-capable electric Land Rovers — are genuinely impressive in their range if not always in outright specs compared to single-platform specialists chasing bigger horsepower numbers.

If you’re shopping for an electric restomod and want options beyond a single donor platform, or you’re a manufacturer interested in licensing conversion technology rather than building it in-house, Everrati is one of the very few companies positioned to serve both needs at once.
