Everrati™ unveiled the first Porsche 911 (964) RSR homage client commission.
The owner, Steve Rimmer, an avid motorsports enthusiast who is the founder of one of North America’s most successful rally schools, DirtFish, has taken delivery of the stunning machine in California. It will serve as a very special daily driver for Steve and his children, embodying a conscientious approach to enjoyment and aligning with Everrati’s ethos of futureproofing iconic vehicles, enabling them to be used by the next generation.
The most driver focussed Porsche model developed by the company to date, the new model is inspired by the legendary 1993 Type 964 RSR – a race-ready lightweight, rear-drive, turbo wide-bodied competition car of which just 51 were ever made. Combining a bespoke, state-of-the-art OEM-grade EV powertrain with a meticulously restored 964 body and a host of lightweight upgrades, Everrati’s homage is a zero-emission masterpiece that encapsulates the spirit of the original RSR 3.8.
Making its public debut at Pebble Beach Concours in California next week, and is among a number of exquisite and bespoke Porsche 911 builds that Everrati is set to deliver to North America this year. Everrati’s first RSR Edition – known as the ‘Evergreen Commission’ – has been hand-built, featuring lightweight, custom HRE 18-inch wheels and extensive use of carbon-fibre including bodywork, roof, and a lightweight aero package, including a distinctive carbon RSR-style rear spoiler. Finished in an Oak Green Metallic finish, with a retrimmed Momo steering wheel with the same exterior paint scheme transferred to the metal, it also features black twin stitching carpet scheme and RS flat door cards behind which perforated leather hides the speaker system.
The interior boasts a bespoke soft Nappa leather finish throughout from Bridge of Weir, using the company’s BioTAN technology – a world-first innovation in the development of bio-based leather, with increased use of natural tanning agents. The design seamlessly incorporates a leather clad roll cage, eliminating the rear seats for a sleeker profile, along with Recaro Pole Position driver and passenger seats, all swathed in bespoke harvest-coloured hide.
Steve Rimmer, founder of DirtFish, said: “I have always harboured a passion for classic cars but my desire to own one only comes so long as it can maintain a lower environmental impact. I love that era of Porsche, with this commission, I really wanted to go down a route where you maintain as much of the originality as you can. This is something that I see as a bridge to how we may have to look at our enjoyment in the future, but still maintain our passion for motorsport. I want my kids to be able to enjoy things in the future.”
On performance, the car uses advanced technology to deliver the ultimate electric driving experience. Under the hood, the RSR homage hosts an OEM-grade 63kWh battery pack and battery management system. With high-performance electric motors delivering 500bhp to the rear wheels via a limited-slip differential, the RSR-inspired version achieves an emission-free range of over 200 miles and 3.7 second 0-60 mph acceleration.
It features TracTive suspension, an electronically controlled active and adaptive suspension system, along with Apple CarPlay and AC/DC Fast charging. These elements, combined with Everrati’s commitment to hand-built craftsmanship and OEM-grade engineering, ensure an unrivalled driving experience that blends classic design with modern, zero-emission performance.
Everrati Founder and CEO, Justin Lunny, commented: “We’re delighted to unveil the very first customer specified RSR homage. The ‘Evergreen Commission’ is a sublime example of sustainable luxury and it’s been a real delight to commission this unique vehicle with Steve Rimmer, a genuine automotive enthusiast, and hugely influential motorsport personality, who innately understands our ethos of futureproofing icons so that they can be enjoyed by today’s generation, and tomorrow’s too.
“We’re thrilled to have been able to bring his vision for an all-electric, RSR-inspired Porsche 964 to life. This is a car, and Everrati is a brand that appeals to both the head and the heart. Blending the legendary look of a design icon and modern convenience that incorporates ultra-responsive, clean electric performance – all underpinned by our signature, bespoke, handcraftsmanship.”
The new model is built for an international market by Everrati’s production partners, Aria Group, based in Irvine, California, underlining its strategy to forge relationships with the world’s best build specialists. It will be showcased at a number of key events in the USA in 2024, including making its debut at Pebble Beach this month.
Designed and developed at its global headquarters in Oxfordshire, the latest 911 RSR-inspired model will join Everrati’s leading portfolio of redefined automotive icons, which includes electric versions of the Porsche 911 (964) Coupe, Targa, Cabriolet, G-Series based ST-inspired edition, Range Rover Classic, Land Rover Defender, Land Rover Series, GT40, and Mercedes-Benz W113 SL ‘Pagoda’.
