Everrati GT40 2023 First Drive: Fast, Furious

You can't think of fast-charging equalling when you try to get into it. The GT40 refers to how high it is off the ground, just 40 inches. It comes with a small door that brings a part of the roof with it. If you are over 6 feet tall, you will have a hard time getting in.

It is a pleasure to see Everrati's trim work. The leather is beautiful even with a couple of safety switches. You would hope so for the price. Big shoes are best avoided if you want to avoid mashing the pedals together. That is not something you want.

There isn't a lot of toys. The dials are used to show more appropriate data such as charge levels. All of them are pointing towards the driver, while any passengers can only see a fleeting glimpse.

The manual gear lever has been replaced by a simple lever to shift from drive to neutral to reverse. Put your foot on the brake, and slowly give the engine a push. The power delivery is smooth, though Everrati has still to finalize the car's mapping, and even in 650 bhp form, savagely quick.

If you want to get to the other end, you have to point the EV at the other end and apply pressure to the pedal on the right. It is a savage thing to comprehend. The Rimac Nevera has more than twice the power, four driven wheels, and a $2 million price tag.

How easy it is to drive slowly is something that would be frightening in a petrol GT40, as you wrangle a clutch connected to a great V8. If you are gentle with your inputs, it will glide easily. The steering and brakes are not in the same place. You will need to have a strong right leg and be interested in press-ups to get the most out of it.

There are a few things that need to be worked out. For example, Everrati is still working on getting it up to its full power, as well as the company's adaptive suspension is yet to be fitted, which will allow the car to change its footing depending on driver preference.

There isn't a lot of choice for people looking for electric two-seater sports cars. Polestar's upcoming 6 will step into the gap if you have a lot of money. There isn't a lot out there. The next-gen electric Boxster will be released in the year 2025. If you can afford it, the GT40 is a good option. It is a new car that is very similar to an older car. It recreates the excitement of ICE power even though it doesn't fire particulates.
