Everrati has converted a carefully restored classic SL "Pagoda" into an all-electric car. The iconic vehicle has swapped its original six-cylinder engine for a custom-designed electric drivetrain. In keeping with Everrati's previous work, the modification is fully reversible, preserving the car's original value and uniqueness.

Two power output options are available for the electric motor. The entry-level variant delivers 176 hp (129 kW) and 240 Nm (177 lb-ft) of torque, while the high-end version offers 304 hp (224 kW) and 300 Nm (221 lb-ft). According to Everrati, the top speed of the vehicle is 200 km/h (124 mph), equaling that of the original gasoline SL, but with an enhanced 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration time of near 7 seconds.

Equipped with a 68 kWh battery pack, the car promises a driving range of more than 322 km (200 miles) between charging sessions. Everrati ensured the vehicle's weight balance closely mirrors the original to maintain driving performance.

The showcased car was meticulously assembled and refurbished by Hilton & Moss, a UK-based classic car dealer. The exterior and interior remain largely unaltered, apart from some updated yet retro-inspired dials. The primary indicators that this SL is electric are the missing exhaust pipe and the absence of engine noise. On its official website, Everrati provides a configurator that lets potential buyers select the SL's color (Cactus Grey, Silver, Edwardian Blue) and top configuration (hardtop, soft top, open top).

The Mercedes-Benz SL W113, manufactured from 1963 to 1971, is considered one of the most elegant iterations of the German roadster, crafted by renowned designers Paul Bracq and Bela Barenyi. The Pagoda model has been a preferred choice for a variety of famous personalities such as musicians John Lennon and Tina Turner, actors Audrey Hepburn and Charlton Heston, as well as modern celebrities like F1 racer David Coulthard and singer Harry Styles.

Everrati unveiled its most recent electric conversion at the Fairmont Monte Carlo as part of the Monaco Yacht Show. The electric SL will be displayed in the hotel's lobby from September 27 to September 30. While the exact price for this specific model wasn't revealed, prior statements indicate a base price of £295,000 ($358,053) for electrically converted Pagodas.
