There is no word yet on what that performance will be, but if the Everrati 911 is any guide it could have as much as 493PS (373kW) – around the same as an original big-block MkII racer and rather more than a real GT40 in roadgoing form. Whatever you say about electric classic cars, slow they ain’t.
Superformance chief executive Lance Stander tells us: “While I will always love a V8-powered vehicle I am genuinely impressed with the lengths to which Everrati goes to maintain the weight distribution and character of the original car."
What’s next? Superformance also turns out licensed replicas (or continuation versions) of Shelby Cobras, Daytonas and Corvettes – more than 5500 of them since 1994 – so after this new Anglo-American tie-up, watch this space. Everrati electric restomods do no come cheap though, the electric 911 listing at £250k – plus the donor car.
One person who would perhaps have approved of the scheme is Henry Ford himself. He saw electric cars as the future – until he cleaned up with the Model T, that is.
