Rare Mercedes-Benz SL turned into an electric car (12 photos)
Everrati, a company that converts internal combustion engines into electric cars, has unveiled its new work, the Mercedes-Benz SL from the 1960s. The cost of the proposed work was estimated at £295,000. 
Everrati offers to replace the factory 6-cylinder engine with an electric motor that can develop 176 or 304 hp. With. and works with a single-stage gearbox. The original Mercedes-Benz SL had engines whose output did not exceed 170 horsepower. The motors are supplied with a 68-kilowatt battery, providing a range of up to 320 kilometers.
The tuners claim that they tried to keep both the weight of the car and the weight distribution unchanged so as not to spoil the driving experience. The electric SL will accelerate to 100 km/h in 7 seconds with a top speed of 200 km/h. Thus, the electric mod is noticeably more dynamic than the original. There are also no obvious changes in appearance; the electrical nature of the rarity can only be determined by the absence of an exhaust pipe and new sensors on the dashboard.
Everrati specifically stipulates that all changes are made reversible. If desired, you can return the electric mod to a historically accurate state.
The studio does not specify the age of the example used as a donor for the demonstration car, but Mercedes-Benz produced the SL in the W113 body from 1963 to 1971.
