Built with the sole purpose of winning the world’s fiercest endurance race, it was also ultra-lightweight. Everrari says its new EV version won’t bring a hefty weight penalty, despite the addition of chunky EV drivetrain hardware, and quotes a kerb weight of just over 1300kg. The firm says this is a lighter than a fully fuelled, race-spec V8 GT40.
This project is not a restomod, though. Instead, it gets a new shell and chassis, both built by US firm Superformance. The company produces all of its chassis under licence from the original trademark holder. Everrati founder and CEO Justin Lunny said: “The GT40 personifies Everrati’s philosophy. While many companies perform electric conversions of classic cars, our approach goes far beyond that.

Nope
No not at all, nope, nope nope. You need a bent 8 in a GT40 not some soulless electric ⚡️ pants the noise, the smell, the drama… or some wannabe drag car with no soul. Petrol till the end.
I wonder how many African kids it took to mine the lithium for that one car? You need to remove around 250 tonnes of earth for each car, so I’m guessing quite a few. Much more ethical than a machine drilling for sustainable oil.
Power isn't everything. I'd still much prefer the V8 powered GT40.
