Mercedes SL W113 pagoda with electric car from Everrati

Porsche 964, Ford GT40 Mk2, Land Rover Series IIA: Of course you can’t say that Everrati’s electric modders are insecure. Obviously the car has to be the most unique type of old car to get the electronic exchange from the British. In this regard, it only makes sense that it is now the turn of the Mercedes W113. Swabian, better known as the SL Pagoda, is now the next to change its six-cylinder heart to an electric machine with a gear gear that matches the same speed.

Anyone who only feels the electronic betrayal of the original copy here should check the data first. If you take data from the top 280 SL model as a base, Mercedes with its original 2.8-liter M 130 six-in-line line was 170 hp and a range of 240 meters from Newton. Everrati SL value: 183 hp with a maximum of 550 meters Newton. Not surprisingly the electric version accelerates from zero to 60 mph (96.6 km / h) faster than the original (7.0 instead of 8.8 seconds).

About 260 kilometers away

Of course, Everrati drivers should do without the strange mechanical, silky sound of a gasoline engine installed in old works. And longer trips require detailed planning: According to Everrati, a 57-kilowatt-hour battery ensures a distance of more than 160 miles, which equates to 257 miles. But that is enough for a smooth Sunday trip with an open roof. Especially since a modified pagoda can restore stationary energy, such as an electric car, through recycling. Its weight and distribution should be based on the natural one.

However, Everrati does not take the actual restoration of SL itself. For this purpose, the British have brought in a well-known expert on the board with the company Hilton & Moss. This is obvious – in the truest sense of the word: the headquarters of both companies is approximately two hours by car from each other. And that offers the potential to drive more Mercedes models to electron exchange in the future.

Optically very close to nature

This should then be similar to the Pagoda, which is disassembled under an empty chassis during conversion, repair and sealing against corrosion for decades of use. Where possible, Hilton & Moss use natural remodeled parts for the next assembly. This explains why the appearance remains so close to the well-known beauty of SL. On the outside however: even the most discerning eye should sit for a few seconds on a normal car to recognize it as an electric car. In it goes a little faster: Everrati installs modified instruments with a new drive, which depends on their appearance, however, for models.

Everrati offers its electric hoses at a price starting at £ 295,000 (about 350,000 euros). And for those who still have doubts: Britain’s promise that conversion can be completely changed.

Anyway: There is no such thing as a good, temporary structure – and I can still run it without domestic production.

No, I do not like to get used to conventional cars with a new electric engine.

Conclusion

If such an electron exchange is a betrayal it is likely to be debated in the long run. What is clear is that Everrati is not afraid of big names. And the highest quality standards are followed during the exchange. The only guarantee of this is a partnership with Hilton & Moss.
