Few cars hold the mythical status of the Ford GT40. Introduced in the 1960s to challenge Ferrari and dominate at the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans, the GT40 remains an all-time symbol of design brilliance and motorsport glory. Today, that legend lives on, as the electrified GT40 by Everrati. Redefined for the 21st century as a zero-emission masterpiece that preserves the thrill of its racing heritage while embracing the possibilities of modern engineering.
Why the Ford GT40 Is the Ultimate Classic Car for Electric Conversion
The GT40 was born to push limits. With its low-slung profile, lightweight construction, and race-bred dynamics, it has always been the perfect blend of speed and innovation. Those same characteristics make it a natural candidate for electrification.
The car’s aerodynamics and compact proportions align perfectly with an electric powertrain, while its lightweight chassis makes for an ideal platform for engineers to integrate advanced battery systems without compromising performance and weight balance. For an electric restomod, these attributes create a flawless foundation, allowing Everrati to deliver incomprehensible acceleration and handling precision that even the original Le Mans winners could only dream of.
Beyond performance, the GT40 can’t help but evoke emotion. It’s not merely a machine – it’s a statement piece that speaks of winning. Redefining this legend as an electric vehicle extends its legacy, ensuring that future generations can experience its essence without the environmental toll of combustion power. But don’t mistake it as replacing history. It’s about continuing it responsibly.
Everrati’s Electric GT40: Heritage Design Meets Modern Performance
Everrati’s approach to electrifying the GT40 is reverential, not just a rebuild.. Every vehicle begins with a meticulously restored chassis developed in partnership with Superformance. From this authentic foundation, Everrati installs its advanced proprietary electric powertrain.
Delivering over 800 horsepower and up to 800 Nm of instant torque, the electric Ford GT40 achieves blistering performance while maintaining the vehicle’s weight distribution. Engineers achieved this by positioning the dual-motor setup and battery modules to mirror the car’s original mid-engine configuration. The result is perfect balance, precision handling, and breathtaking acceleration that remains true to the GT40’s DNA.
The carbon-fiber body panels and aluminum architecture keep the overall vehicle weight close to the original’s specifications. Advanced cooling and battery management systems ensure uncompromised performance on road or track. In true Everrati fashion, CAD-designed components optimize every millimeter of the structure for strength and efficiency.
Performance figures are extraordinary: rapid torque delivery propels the GT40 from 0 to 60 miles per hour in under four seconds, all while producing zero emissions. The silence of electric power amplifies the raw connection between driver and machine. It’s proof that sustainability and adrenaline can certainly coexist.
Preserving Classic Craftsmanship in a Luxury Electric GT40
Every Everrati GT40 begins as a restoration of exceptional quality. Craftsmen rebuild the chassis, panels, and interior using original methods refined with modern precision. The cockpit captures the authenticity of 1960s racing design but introduces contemporary comfort and technology.
Custom-designed instruments echo the look of the original gauges while displaying EV-specific information such as charge status, power delivery, and range. Interior materials like hand-stitched leather, Alcantara, and carbon accents reflect both its heritage and refinement. Each detail is customizable, allowing clients to select finishes, stitching, and trim that align with their own personal taste.
Everrati’s mission is not only to electrify, but to elevate. The restoration process revives every facet to concours condition, while the electrification process makes it more reliable and functional. The conversion is fully reversible, maintaining the car’s long-term value and collectability. We believe it’s an essential consideration for connoisseurs who see their cars as both art and investment.
Driving an Electric Ford GT40: Experience Iconic Performance
Behind the wheel, the Ford GT40 EV delivers a driving experience unlike any other electric vehicle. The instant torque creates acceleration that feels endless, yet controllable. Weight distribution remains balanced and intuitive, preserving the exact steering feel and responsiveness for which the GT40 is renowned.
Without engine vibration or gear changes, the driver experiences uninterrupted engagement with the road. Regenerative braking recoups lost energy into additional battery power while preserving pedal feel, enabling precision control at all times. It’s as if the chassis is speaking; the suspension tuned to reflect both modern dynamics and the original’s racing spirit.
Everrati’s engineers have taken great care to preserve the emotion of driving. The electric powertrain is tuned to match the GT40’s original character with linear throttle response, poised cornering, and stability at any speed. This is a car that excites purists while inviting a new generation to appreciate automotive heritage in a sustainable form.
Owners often describe the sensation as familiar yet futuristic. It’s still a GT40: purposeful, visceral, and unapologetically beautiful. But it’s now whisper-quiet, capable of gliding through city centers with zero emissions, ready to explode with power at a moment’s notice.
