Pagoda has been a long time coming. When we spoke to Everrati founder Justin Lunny in the aftermath of driving the company’s electric-poweredmore than two years ago, an electric-powered version of the iconic Mercedes roadster was on his agenda, along with electric-powered versions of the Porsche 911 and the Superformance Ford GT40.Everrati’s 911 and GT40 models are in production, assembled by specialist partners in Europe and the U.S.
The lithium-ion battery pack, which is made up of Gen 5 modules from Chinese battery maker Envision, consists of three separate elements, one mounted at the front and two at the rear to maintain the original car’s front-to-rear weight distribution. The standard battery setup totals 54.4-kWh, which Everrati says will deliver a 160-mile range and a 0 to 60 mph acceleration time of just under 8.0 seconds, which is right around that of the original 280 SL, whose 2.
Even allowing for the additional weight of the battery packs the performance of both versions is relatively modest for cars with 300 hp under the hood. That’s deliberate, says Justin Lunny. “We don’t want to put too much power into these cars,” he says. And that’s the right call.The Everrati SL is absurdly easy to drive.
One other change we’d like is a slight softening of the shock damping to make the car ride more like the original SL, taking advantage of the generous sidewalls of the Michelin MXV 185 R14 90H tires it rides on.
