Everrati unveils ‘Evergreen’ Porsche 964 RSR commission

Everrati has revealed its first client commission Porsche 964 RSR.

The Evergreen Commission is the first in Everrati’s latest line of electrified 911 homages and was unveiled ahead of its public debut at the Pebble Beach Concours in California next week.

The car was commissioned by DirtFish rally school founder Steve Rimmer, who said the car allowed him to balance his love of classic cars with a desire to reduce their environmental impact.

The handbuilt 964 RSR features the extensive use of carbon-fibre on the bodywork, roof, and a lightweight aero package, including a distinctive carbon RSR-style rear spoiler, plus lightweight, custom HRE 18-inch. The exterior is finished in an Oak Green Metallic paint, which is carried over onto the metal elements of the car’s retrimmed Momo steering wheel. It also features a black twin stitching carpet scheme and RS flat door cards behind which perforated leather hides the speaker system.

The interior features a bespoke soft Nappa leather upholstery from Bridge of Weir, created using the company’s BioTAN technology, which covers the seats and integrated roll cage.

Rimmer 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.”

Everrati calls the 911 (964) RSR its most driver focussed Porsche model ever, with an electronically controlled adaptive damping system. It was inspired by the limited edition 1993 Type 964 RSR – a race-ready lightweight, rear-drive, turbo wide-bodied competition car of which just 51 were ever made. In place of the original’s 3.8 flat-six engine, the car uses two rear-mounted motors to deliver 500bhp via a limited-slip diff, enabling a 0-60mph time of 3.7 seconds. A 63kWh battery pack gives more than 200 miles of range.

Everrati founder and CEO, Justin Lunny, commented: “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, who innately understands our ethos of futureproofing icons so that they can be enjoyed by today’s generation, and tomorrow’s too.”
