This Porsche 964 RSR Tribute Drops The Flat-Six For Electric Motors

There’s been a flurry of new Porsche resto-mods recently. KAMManufaktur just introduced a full carbon body package for the often-forgotten 912, while Theon Design recently unveiled a rather lovely 964 with some modern trimmings. Now, there’s a new tribute to one of the most coveted 911s, albeit with an electric twist.

Everatti’s latest creation pays homage to the 964 RSR 3.8, a race-ready lightweight version of the 911 of which just 51 examples were made following its 1993 introduction.

Based on a standard narrow-bodied 964, a new aero package with carbon fibre bodywork is fitted, including the iconic whale tail rear wing and a revised front splitter. 18-inch wheels are sourced from HRE.

Much like the RSR, Everatti has stripped the interior of this 911 back too - fitting lighter seats up front and stripping out those in the back as well as fitting a new roll cage. It’s not completely devoid of luxury though, using carbon leather throughout.

Very unlike the RSR, the 3.8-litre flat-six is nowhere to be found. Rather, this RSR tribute uses a pair of electric motors on the rear axle. No word on how much power it delivers, but Everatti says the EV is capable of 0-62mph in 3.7 seconds - half a second quicker than a 992 Carrera.

It draws energy from a 63kWh battery which is said to offer over 200 miles of range, with support for both AC and DC charging.

Delivery across the rear axle is managed by a mechanical limited-slip differential, which is a rarity on EVs. A suspension system, sourced from TracTive, with adaptive dampers is fitted too.

No word on how many examples of Everatti’s 964 RSR tribute will be built, or how much it’ll cost. We suspect it’ll be rarer than the car it honours, albeit some way cheaper - if you can even find a real RSR for sale.
