You’re considering an electric Porsche 911 (964) conversion, and now comes the exciting part: deciding exactly what your 911 should be. A production car limits you to what the factory offers. Commissioning an Everrati 911 puts you in control of nearly every significant detail, from the variant and body style to the interior, paint, and powertrain. This guide walks you through each decision and what it means for your finished car.
Choosing Your Electric 964 Variant
Everrati builds the 964 in three distinct variants, each reflecting a different idea of what an electric 911 should be.
The RSR: Motorsport Heritage
The 911 (964) RSR pays tribute to the race car that defined 911 performance. Choose it if you want aggressive aerodynamics, enhanced suspension tuning, and engineering built for spirited driving. The RSR reaches 60mph in 3.7 seconds, and its regenerative braking rewards precise inputs. Lightweight carbon fiber bodywork nods to its racing roots while keeping weight close to that of the original car. This is the variant for drivers who care more about how a 911 performs than how quietly it blends in.
The Signature Wide Body: Visual Impact
The 911 (964) Signature Wide Body makes an entrance. Flared arches, a planted stance, and purposeful bodywork give it an unmistakable presence, and the wider track improves handling rather than just changing the look. Battery modules are arranged to mirror the original car’s weight distribution, so the 911 still feels like a 911. Expect up to around 200 miles of range paired with instant electric torque. This variant suits collectors who believe great design should speak loudly.
The ST: Minimalist Performance
The ST strips away everything unnecessary. Lightweight construction, refined suspension tuning, and focused engineering create a direct connection between driver and road. Lower weight helps the ST make the most of every charge, and sub-4-second acceleration pairs with lively, communicative handling. Choose the ST if you believe that less often delivers more, and that a pure driving experience beats a maxed-out spec sheet.
Choosing a Body Style: Coupe, Targa, or Cabriolet
Your body style affects more than how the car looks. It shapes the entire driving experience.
Coupe
The Coupe is the purest expression of the 964. Its fixed roof delivers maximum structural rigidity, which translates into sharp, immediate responses to your inputs. The closed cabin keeps the focus on the drive itself. For drivers who prioritize performance and handling precision, this is the natural choice.
Targa
The 911 Targa is the versatile middle ground. Its removable roof panel offers open-air enjoyment without the structural compromises of a full convertible, so you get light and fresh air while keeping most of the Coupe’s rigidity. Choose the Targa if you want options: roof off on beautiful days, roof on for spirited drives.
Cabriolet
The Cabriolet is a lifestyle choice. It offers full open-air driving and the complete sensory experience that comes with it. The convertible top adds a little weight and gives up a degree of rigidity, but in return you get nothing between you and the sky. Choose the Cabriolet if open-air driving matters more to you than ultimate handling precision.
Interior Customization: Making It Yours
The original Porsche interior is a starting point, not a final destination. Your electric 964 is an opportunity to create a cabin that reflects your taste and how you plan to use the car.
Upholstery Materials and Colors
Choose materials and colors that feel like your own:
- Leather offers timeless appeal and develops character with age.
- Modern alternatives provide durability and lower maintenance.
- Colors range from period-correct hues that honor the original to contemporary palettes that reflect your personal style.
- Two-tone combinations add visual interest, while a single color keeps the cabin clean and simple.
Your choice affects how the interior ages and how it feels to spend hours behind the wheel.
Instrument Cluster and Controls
Modern digital displays replace the original gauges while keeping a period-correct appearance. Everrati’s custom five-gauge cluster honors the original layout while showing the information an electric drivetrain needs. For the steering wheel, some owners keep the original 964 design for an authentic feel, while others upgrade to a modern wheel with better grip and feedback.
Seat Customization
Original Porsche seats are surprisingly comfortable, but they can lack the support that spirited driving demands. You can choose custom covers that preserve the original shape while adding contemporary comfort, or fully custom seats that give you complete control over materials, colors, and ergonomics.
Storage and Modern Convenience
USB charging, modern climate control, and contemporary audio, including Apple CarPlay, can be integrated while staying in harmony with the 964’s early-1990s design. These upgrades stay invisible from the outside while making everyday use far more practical. Hidden storage keeps charging cables and other essentials out of sight without disrupting the cabin’s visual coherence.
Choosing an Exterior Color
Color matters more than any spec sheet suggests. It affects how the car photographs, how it looks in different light, and how it makes you feel every time you see it parked.
Classic Porsche Palettes
Grand Prix White, Guards Red, and Midnight Blue are heritage colors closely tied to Porsche’s history. Silver Metallic and Black are timeless and sophisticated. These colors age gracefully and hold their appeal across decades.
Contemporary Alternatives
Modern paint technology offers colors that weren’t available when the 964 debuted in 1989. Deep greens, rich grays, and contemporary blues feel fresh while respecting the 964’s proportions. You can also choose colors that reference historic Porsche racing liveries or your own personal story.
Special Finishes
Matte finishes make a striking statement, though they require specific care. Metallic and pearl finishes add depth and complexity. Whichever you choose, your finish creates a first impression that will last for years.
Performance Options You Control
This is a Porsche, so how it drives matters just as much as how it looks. Your commission lets you tailor:
- Power output: Signature and Wide Body builds are available with 440bhp or 500bhp, depending on how much performance you want on tap.
- Powertrain character: select a setup ranging from refined and efficient to track-focused and aggressive.
- Regenerative braking: choose how strongly the motor slows the car when you lift off the throttle.
- Suspension: fully adjustable TracTive suspension lets you fine-tune the ride and handling balance.
Ultimately, this car is meant to be driven and enjoyed exactly the way you want.

How to Choose the Right Electric 964 for You
Your 964 is a car you’ll live with for years, so it’s worth thinking carefully about how you actually drive. Do you want performance or presence? Will you drive daily or on weekends? Do you prefer open-air or a closed cockpit? Should your 911 blend in or announce itself?
Your commission should reflect who you are as a driver, not who you think you should be.
