Everrati Automotive Limited, a pioneer in transforming automotive icons with advanced electric vehicle (EV) powertrains, today announced the launch of its zero-emission Mercedes-Benz SL W113 ‘Pagoda’. This meticulously restored classic car combines timeless elegance with state-of-the-art sustainability, setting a new standard in luxury grand touring.
Since its debut in 1963, the Mercedes-Benz SL ‘Pagoda’ has been a symbol of style and prestige, beloved by celebrities from John Lennon to Harry Styles. Everrati has now re-engineered this iconic vehicle with a bespoke electric powertrain, preserving its heritage while enhancing it with modern technology. Each vehicle is hand-built and restored to concours standards by top Mercedes-Benz specialists and features an OEM-grade electric powertrain developed in-house by Everrati.
The standard electric model includes a 54kWh battery that offers 160 miles of range and accelerates from 0-60 mph in just under 8 seconds. For those seeking enhanced performance, the ‘Touring’ version features a 68kWh battery, extending the range to over 200 miles and reducing the 0-60 mph time to under 7 seconds. Both versions boast a 300bhp electric motor, a limited slip differential, and regenerative braking which permits one-pedal driving.
Internally, the SL ‘Pagoda’ offers a luxurious cabin, customizable with premium low-carbon leather from Everrati’s partner, Bridge of Weir. Buyers can choose from a variety of colors and finishes that reflect the car’s vintage heritage, while enjoying modern amenities like Bluetooth-controlled high-end audio and heated seats.
Starting at £330k, plus local taxes and the cost of the donor car, this redefined SL ‘Pagoda’ stands as a testament to Everrati’s commitment to preserving automotive history through sustainable technology. This vehicle not only meets the demands of high-end sustainable vehicles market but does so while retaining the timeless design and iconic character that makes the SL ‘Pagoda’ a collector’s dream.
As demand for zero-emission yet classically designed vehicles grows, Everrati continues to lead the way with its innovative conversions, which also include models like the Porsche 911 and Land Rover Defender. Justin Lunny, Co-Founder and CEO of Everrati, emphasized the unique value of the redefined SL ‘Pagoda’, calling it “the new benchmark for understated, sustainable luxury.”
