Everrati has turned its electric attention to another legendary car: the GT40. WIRED tried the prototype, and here's what we think:
Any thoughts of fast-charging equalling practicality are erased, however, when you try to get into the thing. The “40” in the GT40’s name is a reference to how high it is off the ground: just 40 inches . It comes with high sills, in this case full of batteries, and a tiny door that brings a bit of the roof with it. If you’re much over 6 feet tall, you’ll certainly struggle to get in with any grace.Once you’re inside, Everrati’s trim work is a joy to behold.
As you’d expect, the manual gear lever is gone, replaced by a simple lever to shift from drive to neutral to reverse. Pop your foot on the brake, slot it in to drive, and slowly give the throttle a nudge. The power delivery is smooth, though Everrati has still to finalize the car’s mapping, and even in 650-bhp form savagely quick.
What gets you is how easy it is to drive slowly—something that’d be a little unnerving in the petrol GT40, as you wrangle a clutch connected to a whacking great V8. Just be gentle with your inputs and it glides easily. Its brakes aren’t quite in the same ballpark, nor is the steering. Both are unassisted, in true hardcore sports-car style, so you’ll need to have a strong right leg and be keen on press-ups to get the best out of it.
