I don't know. One of the appeals of these cars is that you can hear them before you see them, therefore making them silent removes a lot of drama while driving them. Nobody will strain their ears and eyes to guess what they heard. Just a good looking and expensive milk float.
Most of these would not sit in a garage, but in a junkyard. The prime market for these modifications is cars which are beyond repair, and it’s drivetrain has to be thrown out, likely along with the whole car.
@@juzoli I think I get you, replacing the carbon panels would be a lot harder than replacing the standard metal panels. Also electric drivetrains have been improving at a crazy pace for years, the drivetrain in it will be have to be updated in like 10 years
If they ban petro cars... Just shoot me. Maybe I'll postpone my demise after experiencing a retro carbon EV 911. Looks slightly intriguing & it's beautiful to look at.
@@dutchdna And then when that happens so much for bio fuels and stuff. I don't know about Europe but in America I can see alot of backlash if that ever happened. If I ever wanted a electric car I wouldn't buy one even if I had the money, I'd want the battery to last thousands of miles, and charge in a 3 minutes.
@@3n3ly7m9 Even with bio fuels, it still polluting and can't in any way match EV's zero emission, for example to keep pollution out of the cities, as I know that electricity for EV's needs to be generated too....and pollutes. Europe is legislating all of this, so people really have no choice by that time, although it will be phased out over the years so it's not that you can't see it coming. It won't be long before a battery can go a 1000 miles and can be charged in a matter of minutes. You'll see that within the next 5 years. Batteries already lasts the lifetime of a car. Start saving. ;)
@@dutchdna Battery's actually last the lifetime and live up the the terms and spec performance for the first owner. After it has been passed around, wear on the car is greatly anything from the former. Thats the same kind of marketing as BMWs transmission saying that have life time oil, and are sealed. And anyone with proper knowledge of how mechanics or physics work knows that's a lie. I rather not save up for a car that can't be repaired by myself and have technology and infotainments centers in them cost thousands. I think its a real waste of money especially if you buy the car in full. Most people can't and always lease it. I'll let the rest of the new buyers take the hit and have them suffer the deprecation. And if it is mandated to only drive EV's thats basically dictatorship. I can for sure say drivability on a EV is totally different from any diesel or burning engine, and has many drawbacks.
@@3n3ly7m9 Nothing lasts forever and it doesn't have to. Neither do regular cars and nor does the AC on your house for example. Certain refrigerants are outlawed too, just like gas will be at some point, at least for use in a private car. I'm not saying that's what I want, I'm just saying it's what I see happening. I have 4 V8's in my driveway, love them all. And yes, maybe the battery will give out after a couple of hundred thousand miles but look at how much you saved in other repairs and maintenance, EV's are virtually maintenance free, except for tires and brakes...and battery eventually. And by that time, most those cars will be recycled as well as their batteries, plus they'll become much cheaper, year after year. Most modern cars you cannot repair yourself anymore. Too much tech and you'd need tens of thousands in tools (and great knowledge). Please don't get me started on my BMW. You're right. Lol. Internal Combustion Engines are just not sustainable in the future, it's a given fact, look at high density populated cities and their smog/pollution, especially in Asia. People just don't want that anymore. That's why China is leading in EV's and the USA can choose to stay behind, which it already is, but it will miss out on market opportunities, although Tesla is doing a good job with EV's in China but that's just one American company. But regular engines will be phased out everywhere, except Africa maybe, whether you and I like it or not. I don't like it either but it's a given fact. I think it will take another 20 years in the USA, 10-15 in Europe, so you can see it coming. Most of the EV drawbacks will go away as they are addressing them one by one and they have other benefits that make up for some drawbacks. It will be a long time before it's 100% mandated but if manufacturers can't sell ICE's anymore, or nobody will buy them because people prefer EV's, they just won't produce them and that's already started to happen. I mean it's $50 to fill up my Ford truck. The new Ford Lightning you can fill up for about $10. About the same range. Bottom line, combustion engine cars will stop making sense from different point of view and people will want to buy electric. The new Ford Lightning will outsell regular engine trucks very soon. The demand will dictate what producers will make and that'd good old capitalism. Nothing wrong with it. You can argue there's some overreach in Europe, I agree. Just imagine that we don't use the "oil" lamp anymore either after we got the "electric" light bulb. It's just how it goes...
I was thinking the same, let us stop giving attention on these electric cars which are forced at us by the government and environment activists, just terrible.
When the future looks to be electric, it's a shame to ruin old classics by electrifying them. The sound of the engine and going thru the gears is what driving is to me. Especially in a classic car.
To be fair, it’a just a question before the experience of a ICE car will be replicated/simulated with speakers and vibrations, to the point where we won’t be able to tell the difference witout popping the hood
Totally awesome. You're right one day it will be prohibitively expensive or outright illegal to own a combustion engine, it should have been done 40 years ago. Great to see people like this focusing on keeping the feel and balance of these classic cars.
Just feels like the heart has been ripped out of a classic 911 to me. Also, putting 500hp in a car with 30 year old crash protection? I'd just have a Taycan until the next all electric Cayman......
_"Also, putting 500hp in a car with 30 year old crash protection?"_ So what? Are those 500hp going to make the crash in 70mph worse than a crash in 70mph with a original engine? So many boomers in this comment section not even realizing that electric engines came before ICE.
I am hoping that the synthetic petrol going to happen,I saw a vid where an old Rolls Royce phantom was electrified and I thought that it suited that car perfectly as quietness is a virtue in that segment
@@johnnyboy1586 how can anyone make enough synthetic fuel at a low price for all combustion engines in the world. Enough to use all of them each day. Maybe hydrogen powered combustion engines are an idea
The starting price is taking the Michael. This will just be a niche product for very rich collectors who don’t drive it much. And if you’re going to collect and have in your garage most of the time…. collect the real thing, which will appreciate. Unlike EVs which are about to become very very common and this performance can be had for 25% of that cost.
Is it any wonder that you can't find a sensibly priced 964, the whole world are buying them to upgrade. Love it I think. love the noise thing, my Cayenne V8 diesel doesn't make a lot of noise but the deep grumble it gives as you accelerate gives it a lovely character. Thats all you need really.
I mean to be fair, its inevitable to happen. Even if combustion engines are banned, I will STILL drive them. 90% of the driving experience is the sound of the motor. I drive a 93 merc w201 190e and the engine noise is glorious. And 1 day Ill own a Murcielago because that v12 is one of the greatest automotive symphonies ever
That particular 911 (964) with the duck tail & wide body arches is probably my favorite looking & sized 911. That car looks stunning in red & that interior is spot on. I want one!

Omg! What will happen if they make a water cooled 911?! The heritage! The sound! Oh wait, they did that, and it got better. To me this is a hell of a package to deliver the future in.

This is probably my favourite episode so far Sam. The passion and the pure confused joy in your voice and facial expressions was hilarious. Get Sam, Shmee and Paul SOL there own own show!
Well done Sam. Thank you for bringing different content and continuing the conversation about the future of the classic car. I think we have to decide what we love about classics, the sculpture of the body or the drivetrains.
Both are fundamental. We don't have to decide anything. Classic cars aren't destroying the planet. Priuses that climate activists commute thousands of miles in to their endless virtue signaling protests are.
It's the whole thing. The entire appeal about driving older cars is all the flaws; the vibrations, the suboptimal weight distributions, the touchy gearboxes. All the finessing these cars require you to do to drive them well is precisely what gives them character and makes them fun to drive. If they were simply pretty, and that's all we cared about, a Maisto 1:18 model would do. When you shove the old body onto a modern powertrain, even an ICE one, you completely destroy the essence of the vehicle.
I am a Taycan RWD owner. I love this video. I am very happy with my Porsche and I dream having an electric 911 in early years. The future is here really !!! 😃
Great way to save the classics. You are right if they literally make it so expensive to own a petrol powered car to make us all go EV then this is great. Problem is the cost not just for this conversion but for any conversion.
Fascinating project and video Sam, thanks. Electric classics, why not? Book me in for an electric Triumph Stag please, they had a questionable engine anyway, so perfect candidate!
If the engine is not what makes the car interesting, I'm onboard. Air-cooled Porsche is not in that category in my opinion. But that is just my opinion.
Amazing car, and now i have all the extra detail from this fantastic review makes me love it even more. Although not sure on the noise and fake exhausts. Great work Everrati!!! My TVR EV conversion will be more....TVR 😉⚡💪
I like the finished product, I'm not keen on chopping up an original 964, but a lot of the future is heading this way. The biggest bugbear for me is the lack of sound, it's hard to get into it if it sounds like an electric forklift.
A very interesting expose of a fascinating car. This is the EV that I could love! Sam, you do this to me so often. Fascinating content with amazing production value. Far exceeding the norm in automotive RUclips. I hope your channel explodes. Thanks again.
Best of a bad world. Might aswell have an iconic shape on top of electric running gear for the week days, and a petrol powered one for the weekends 👍 For me,just needs the turbo wing and black stickers Infront of the rear arches.
I saw this car at the London Concours (should be on my RUclips video of the event)! For an EV 911 I would prefer a Taycan Sci Fi like sound than that of the flat 6. Very impressive.
If they did an option of either an electric version and a combustion version, I bet the combustion one would outsell the electric one. But it does appear to be probably the best version of an electric car so far. Just needs three pedals. Lol
This electric car is so cool. I hope they take the same platform and put different body styles on it. It would be awesome to buy any old car, but a modern electric version of it.
I was ready to blast this 😀. However after taking in the car, the albeit fake soundtrack I have to admire it, I do. As ever the Sam enthusiasm which can’t ever be faked shines through. I still feel it’s a little blasphemous but it is a resto mod which is a term that now extends to EV conversions. I agree with your suggestion that a whole new raft of people previously scared might go for this. I would still prefer an original restoration but I see a market and interest for this type of restoration. I’d never rip out a perfectly functioning engine to create this but arguably if it was waiting to be broken… The price though. I get it as you’re paying towards R&D too, is just too expensive. I run three cars, a modern BMW 420 Gran Coupe and two modern classics, an old Z3 and a 360 but. I’d never afford this and if I could there would be a 458 and some ICE 911 in my garage. I guess maybe my future grandchildren may be able [almost] to experience what we can. Great video Sam 👍
32 million cars in uk On average 500-600k new cars sold each year (more than half are still pure fuel and diesel) Less than 10% of cars sold in uk so far in 2021 we’re pure electric It’ll be many many years before all cars on the road will be electric. Combustion engine is here for a loooong time yet 👍
Sam, really interesting car! Just one question; why does it have exhaust pipes? Surely this must be the only EV with exhaust pipes. Interesting that you did not show the electric motor and battery. All Everrati's promotional material does not show what's underneath - why would that be? Keep up the good work
Me… maxing out the volume on my ipad while watching. It’s weird seeing the car take off and expecting to hear a flat six, but hearing none of that…Nicely done nontheless Watching this after a spirited drive with the M2 makes me even more sad. I’m sure going to miss those when electric cars are mainstream
Thanks for your video. My question is: Is a classic car without its engine still remains a classic car? In my opinion it's not as a car is a whole thing where bodywork and motor play eachone a role. Hopefully governments will find a way to give old cars a chance to survive in the future, with a max KM/year driving for instance. Greetings from Belgium.
The fun in a classic car is the way it drives, the way it looks and feels when you’re behind the wheel. Its a different experience to a modern car. It’s not all down to the noise of the engine, even though that’s part of the appeal.
When ever Sam gets confused and ranty I get a Craig from Parks & Rec vibe lol Also, lots of hate in the comments but if it keeps these beautiful machines on the road then EV is all good IMO
if i'm being honest, i don't get it. if i wanted an electric car i would get a new one, because that would be a good car. Old cars are mostly sh*t but i love them for their engine and gearbox. Removing those makes no sense to me.
The problem is that in a few years you most certainly can't drive your old car in a city. That will limit your access and give it a few years there will be a not so many petrolstations left but a fastcharger on every corner. Early Adopter and expensive but ready for the future but sure not for everyone.
@@rolandhaberer6217 I think that's fine, you wouldn't want to drive a classic in a city centre either way, these cars are made for back roads and mountain roads.
Very very nice, but isn’t keeping the 60/40 weight imbalance like doing a restomod Jag and keeping all the original Lucas electrics? Obviously the future, though!
Lovely car. Money no object, sure, but at £250k, that's bordering on pristine 964 turbo/rs money. Great video as ever Sam. You bring a average bloke view on these things.
Although I agree with it being slightly backwards electrifying a beautiful petrol motor such as this one, I can’t help but think this is a genius idea. Take a rusty, weathered 25 year old Porsche, replace some panels and slap a battery and electric motor in there and you’ve got a winner. Would much rather see these on the road than the boring e-corsas etc. Although can’t imagine the price tag being anywhere near affordable
It is nice to see someone trying to implement the enginesound. And when done properly, so that you can "change gear" and adjust it properly, it might (stressing might, really do not like anything about ev's), be something I would consider. (When I can no longer drive my classic as an ICE car that is. 😊
If someone could make a slow EV that has the same power delivery as the petrol version of the car. As well as the sound and some way to replciate the shifting of gears then I would definitely buy it.
@@wilkowilkins363 I’ve had 6 mk2 Gti. Some as daily cars some as projects. I think you’re forgetting my comment is subjective. Electric motors are quick, old cars are have reliability issues (belts, cables stretching over time etc) I’d like to daily a car from the 80s with 80% less maintenance.. they aren’t loud obnoxious cars anyway In standard form so no one would even notice, hence my reason for picking the humble golf
Sam, whilst you are describing the interior, I can't help notice the interior lights behind you look like the originals. Why not LED's I wonder? Deliberate to keep the car dated? Just seems odd. Thing is, this car still generates that emotive feeling one gets when seeing a classic car looking this good.
Looks great! Personally I think it’s quite refreshing that manufacturers are attempting to keep some sort of heritage in the cars whilst going electric. We need to embrace it. However, that sound file malarkey is truly tragic 🙈😅 If it’s electric, it’s electric. We can’t keep trying to kid ourselves with these fake noises...

It's the whole thing. The entire appeal about driving older cars is all the flaws; the vibrations, the suboptimal weight distributions, the touchy gearboxes. All the finessing these cars require you to do to drive them well is precisely what gives them character and makes them fun to drive. If they were simply pretty, and that's all we cared about, a Maisto 1:18 model would do. When you shove the old body onto a modern powertrain, even an ICE one, you completely destroy the essence of the vehicle.
@@vomErsten
eventually even the 911 will have to be electric by imposition.
@@hartze4946 Yup, and it will be as soulless and uninspiringly over-sanitized as every other BEV.
I think this is a great option for rolling 911's without engines, better than shoving an LS in it.
it looks so good, quite a shame that it’s electric
It's the opposite imo, as parts become harder to find for these older cars these conversions keep them on the road
@@CianMcsweeney i can't speak for other classic car communities, but for an icon like the 911 there'll be plenty as time goes on.
Synthetic fuels can’t get here quick enough IMHO.
And the cost of the infrastructure you`ll be paying for..
LOL Not realistic.
To answer the question. I really hope it isn't..
It looks bloody fantastic 😍
Brilliant! I love this and I'm confused by it at the same time! Great video as always!
I am a Taycan RWD owner. I love this video. I am very happy with my Porsche and I dream having an electric 911 in early years. The future is here really !!! 😃
Great way to save the classics. You are right if they literally make it so expensive to own a petrol powered car to make us all go EV then this is great. Problem is the cost not just for this conversion but for any conversion.
Fascinating project and video Sam, thanks.
Electric classics, why not? Book me in for an electric Triumph Stag please, they had a questionable engine anyway, so perfect candidate!
If the engine is not what makes the car interesting, I'm onboard. Air-cooled Porsche is not in that category in my opinion. But that is just my opinion.
Amazing car, and now i have all the extra detail from this fantastic review makes me love it even more. Although not sure on the noise and fake exhausts. Great work Everrati!!! My TVR EV conversion will be more....TVR 😉⚡💪
I like the finished product, I'm not keen on chopping up an original 964, but a lot of the future is heading this way. The biggest bugbear for me is the lack of sound, it's hard to get into it if it sounds like an electric forklift.
A very interesting expose of a fascinating car. This is the EV that I could love!
Sam, you do this to me so often. Fascinating content with amazing production value. Far exceeding the norm in automotive RUclips. I hope your channel explodes. Thanks again.
My Dad had a 911, he would love this. 😍 and much more power than his. 😉
Best of a bad world.
Might aswell have an iconic shape on top of electric running gear for the week days, and a petrol powered one for the weekends 👍
For me,just needs the turbo wing and black stickers Infront of the rear arches.
I saw this car at the London Concours (should be on my RUclips video of the event)! For an EV 911 I would prefer a Taycan Sci Fi like sound than that of the flat 6. Very impressive.
Great video Sam, whilst I love the combustion engine I love this car, looks amazing. Keep up the great work mate 👍🏼
If they did an option of either an electric version and a combustion version, I bet the combustion one would outsell the electric one.
But it does appear to be probably the best version of an electric car so far. Just needs three pedals. Lol
One of your best yet Sam. Great video. Thought provoking. All good. PS. Where did you get your jacket!?
Sam, if it's any consolation, my absolute dream car is a convertible 1951 XK120 resto'd and electrified by Icon.
This electric car is so cool. I hope they take the same platform and put different body styles on it. It would be awesome to buy any old car, but a modern electric version of it.
I was ready to blast this 😀. However after taking in the car, the albeit fake soundtrack I have to admire it, I do.
As ever the Sam enthusiasm which can’t ever be faked shines through.
I still feel it’s a little blasphemous but it is a resto mod which is a term that now extends to EV conversions.
I agree with your suggestion that a whole new raft of people previously scared might go for this.
I would still prefer an original restoration but I see a market and interest for this type of restoration.
I’d never rip out a perfectly functioning engine to create this but arguably if it was waiting to be broken…
The price though. I get it as you’re paying towards R&D too, is just too expensive. I run three cars, a modern BMW 420 Gran Coupe and two modern classics, an old Z3 and a 360 but. I’d never afford this and if I could there would be a 458 and some ICE 911 in my garage.
I guess maybe my future grandchildren may be able [almost] to experience what we can.
Great video Sam 👍
I love this. If it keeps these cars on the road then all for it. I want one!
If will have to go electric that’s definitely the way to go absolutely amazing.
That squirrel cracked me up so bad 😂.
Awesome video yet again Sam 🤘
This is great!
32 million cars in uk
On average 500-600k new cars sold each year (more than half are still pure fuel and diesel)
Less than 10% of cars sold in uk so far in 2021 we’re pure electric
It’ll be many many years before all cars on the road will be electric. Combustion engine is here for a loooong time yet 👍
Sam, really interesting car! Just one question; why does it have exhaust pipes? Surely this must be the only EV with exhaust pipes. Interesting that you did not show the electric motor and battery. All Everrati's promotional material does not show what's underneath - why would that be? Keep up the good work
Me… maxing out the volume on my ipad while watching. It’s weird seeing the car take off and expecting to hear a flat six, but hearing none of that…Nicely done nontheless
Watching this after a spirited drive with the M2 makes me even more sad. I’m sure going to miss those when electric cars are mainstream
I love that car would be a perfect car for every day then have the combustion one for the weekend.
Thanks for your video.
My question is:
Is a classic car without its engine still remains a classic car?
In my opinion it's not as a car is a whole thing where bodywork and motor play eachone a role.
Hopefully governments will find a way to give old cars a chance to survive in the future, with a max KM/year driving for instance.
Greetings from Belgium.
New vehicle ICE cars will be banned long before it’s illegal to drive them. I’m worried for jobs lost but I’m more worried about climate change.
Would 100% purchase one of these!!
They removed the soul of the 911- the silky smooth, seductive sound of the air cooled flat 6 engine. No thanks EVs!
Glad you didn't kill that squirrel !
incredible work
I never comment, BUT SAM's Squirrel Scream really made my day
I bet Tony loves this, old and electric. 🤣
Sadly, probably. But not a nice future at all. I mean what is a classic without all the fun?
The fun in a classic car is the way it drives, the way it looks and feels when you’re behind the wheel. Its a different experience to a modern car. It’s not all down to the noise of the engine, even though that’s part of the appeal.
@@magnustan841 I agree too, without driver aids, however dangerous, it's a ton of fun.
When ever Sam gets confused and ranty I get a Craig from Parks & Rec vibe lol
Also, lots of hate in the comments but if it keeps these beautiful machines on the road then EV is all good IMO
if i'm being honest, i don't get it. if i wanted an electric car i would get a new one, because that would be a good car. Old cars are mostly sh*t but i love them for their engine and gearbox. Removing those makes no sense to me.
The problem is that in a few years you most certainly can't drive your old car in a city. That will limit your access and give it a few years there will be a not so many petrolstations left but a fastcharger on every corner. Early Adopter and expensive but ready for the future but sure not for everyone.
They probably do it for the looks. They are a beauty after all.
@@rolandhaberer6217 we are decades away from that.
@@rolandhaberer6217 I think that's fine, you wouldn't want to drive a classic in a city centre either way, these cars are made for back roads and mountain roads.
Great video of things to come 😎
1 of your best videos & a fascinating niche product - arguably I'd say too powerful to be authentic
Fam your video quality and production is Amazing Sam!!! ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Fantastic
Great video and great looking Porsche
Very very nice, but isn’t keeping the 60/40 weight imbalance like doing a restomod Jag and keeping all the original Lucas electrics? Obviously the future, though!
Lovely car. Money no object, sure, but at £250k, that's bordering on pristine 964 turbo/rs money. Great video as ever Sam. You bring a average bloke view on these things.
Very interesting
Although I agree with it being slightly backwards electrifying a beautiful petrol motor such as this one, I can’t help but think this is a genius idea. Take a rusty, weathered 25 year old Porsche, replace some panels and slap a battery and electric motor in there and you’ve got a winner. Would much rather see these on the road than the boring e-corsas etc. Although can’t imagine the price tag being anywhere near affordable
It is nice to see someone trying to implement the enginesound. And when done properly, so that you can "change gear" and adjust it properly, it might (stressing might, really do not like anything about ev's), be something I would consider. (When I can no longer drive my classic as an ICE car that is. 😊
Hilariously, this video would give Greenpeace a heart attack! The squirrel segment!:)))
very very cool, would love to see it done to a few cars....Miura, Countach, Merak
How much is the conversion if you have the car?
I am a born & bred petrol head, but I think this awesome. would love to drive it. I'd consider it, if they weren't so expensive
Sometimes Sam talks with his hands so much I’m sure he’s signing for the deaf community 😂
If someone could make a slow EV that has the same power delivery as the petrol version of the car. As well as the sound and some way to replciate the shifting of gears then I would definitely buy it.
All cars will soon be slowed by ISA unfortunately
How far will it drive on a charge?
Great video Sam, I love it, what’s the weight?
Very cool video, Sam!
Very interesting and thought provoking content Sam - Thanks for sharing.
Loved this one!
Tonys gone love this Sam....... great vlog.....
I like the idea, but I’d rather something cheaper, like a mk2 golf gti as an electric usable daily
Why not just a Mk2 Gti Golf with its 1.8 .. perfection
@@wilkowilkins363 I’ve had 6 mk2 Gti. Some as daily cars some as projects. I think you’re forgetting my comment is subjective. Electric motors are quick, old cars are have reliability issues (belts, cables stretching over time etc) I’d like to daily a car from the 80s with 80% less maintenance.. they aren’t loud obnoxious cars anyway In standard form so no one would even notice, hence my reason for picking the humble golf
Sam, whilst you are describing the interior, I can't help notice the interior lights behind you look like the originals. Why not LED's I wonder? Deliberate to keep the car dated? Just seems odd. Thing is, this car still generates that emotive feeling one gets when seeing a classic car looking this good.
Sam, mate, we don’t need to save the fields. The fields are part of the environmental problem. Great video. 👍🏼
noice, not to sure about the wheels if im being honest. but i always love you videos! keep up the hard work!
Starts from £250k is a serious issue I'm afraid. For far less than that you can get both a classic 911 and a Tesla.
Looks great! Personally I think it’s quite refreshing that manufacturers are attempting to keep some sort of heritage in the cars whilst going electric. We need to embrace it. However, that sound file malarkey is truly tragic 🙈😅 If it’s electric, it’s electric. We can’t keep trying to kid ourselves with these fake noises...
A 964 with a ducktail is so freaking good looking.
Does it actually have any range other than around the block?
Want to see the 650bhp Tesla powered Beetle ??
