Everrati's pioneering approach in redefining modern classic Porsches reaches new heights with their latest creation: a zero-emission, motorsport-inspired 911 that honours the Type 964 RSR 3.8. This hand-built masterpiece incorporates advanced carbon-fibre body elements and comprehensive weight-saving measures, propelling the iconic vehicle into the future without relinquishing its esteemed heritage. At its core, the vehicle is equipped with a bespoke, OEM-grade EV powertrain, infusing state-of-the-art electric vehicle technology into its timeless design. The result is an automotive experience that marries the soul of a classic Porsche with the innovation of electric propulsion. 🏁🚗 A tribute to one of the most exclusive 964 variants, the new Everrati model embodies the essence of the rare 1993 Type 964 RSR 3.8. With only 51 units of that archetypical track weapon ever produced, this modern interpretation preserves the distinguished Porsche lineage. Highlighting the brand's commitment to meticulous craftsmanship, this electrified 911 sports a minimalist, race-ready interior, carbon leather seats by Bridge of Weir and a comprehensive aero package reminiscent of the formidable RSR. The fusion of heritage and pioneering electric technology renders a remarkable vehicle that provides an exhilarating, zero-emission driving experience. ⚡️🔋 #ElectricVehicleRevolution #ClassicCarsReimagined #SustainableLuxuryTransport

Race cars, like the #ARX06, blaze around the track and leave an undeniable impression when it comes to speed. Engineering deserves recognition. Of course, the shape and #design of those same race cars are equally thrilling. This begs the question, what impression do race cars have upon production cars in terms of #styling, and does the design of street machines influence race cars? #AutoDesignO gathered together #DaveMarek, #BillYex, and #WayneTaylor at the #AcuraGrandPrixOfLongBeach to answer the questions posed by #EricNoble. The answers might enlighten you, at least on how #Acura deals with this topic. #WTRAndretti #WayneTaylorRacing #TheCARLAB #HondaRacingCorporation #HondaPerformance #AGPLB #GPLB #LBGP #GrandPrix

LOT 150 Miami 2024 RM Sotheby's Sotheby's Motorsport 2011 RUF Rt12 S $950,000 - $1,200,000 USD   | Coral Gables, Florida Chassis No. W09BD0384BPR06133 Documents US Title To be offered on Friday, 1 March 2024 Frighteningly quick; powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter engine rated at 685 hp Remarkably showing only 513 miles on the odometer at the time of cataloguing Finished with Basaltblack Metallic paint over a Dark Grey Alcantara interior Accompanied by a road safety kit, owner’s books, RUF Zertifikat, and vehicle information sheet RUF Automobile GmbH, whether offering its a-la-carte modification regimen or hand-crafting astonishing sports cars from bodies-in-white or on bespoke chassis, has always paired incredible engineering with demanding build standards unrivaled by similar firms in the global marketplace. In November 2004, RUF debuted their first entirely house-built automobile, the Rt12. Developed from the ground up and using exclusive and proprietary powertrain components, at first glance its Porsche roots were obvious. However, have a closer look and you will discover that the Rt12 is an entirely different beast. The Rt12, built on the wider (and modified) body shell of Porsche’s 997-generation Carrera, represents no less than the sensational summit of the small-but-noble RUF product pyramid. The first distinction is the Rt12’s powerplant, a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six based on an earlier “Metzger” blueprint. This engine is mated to a RUF-built transaxle and limited-slip rear differential, routing down all 685 horsepower in “S” specification through massive 12.5-inch-wide rear tires. A proprietary and fully adjustable RUF hydraulic suspension system (with front axle lift function) underpins the car’s chassis, while braking is handled by a set of eight-piston (front) and four-piston (rear) calipers tucked inside RUF five-spoke wheels. To further maximize weight savings, the Rt12’s bumpers, hood, and rear decklid are all rendered in carbon fiber. An integrated roll cage is cleverly hidden behind the sumptuously appointed interior trim, and the cabin is further outfitted with all the amenities one would expect from a road-going Porsche of the most refined variety. When equipped with the optional “tall” gearing package and four-wheel drive, RUF company literature reports that the Rt12 could reach a top speed in excess of 224 miles per hour. As shown on the accompanying RUF Zertifikat, this exemplary Rt12 S was completed at the Pfaffenhausen factory and delivered in December 2010 finished with Basaltblack Metallic paint over a Dark Grey Alcantara interior. #classic #classics #classiccars #collectorcars #carcollectors #historic #vintage #performance #racing #rallying #driving #car #cars #automotiveindustry #auto #autos #autoindustry #auction #forsale #sold #automotive #investment #privatesale 

LOT 113 Miami 2024 1996 Honda NSX-R $450,000 - $550,000 USD   | Coral Gables, Florida Chassis No. NA1-1300340 Serial No. R-0458 Documents US Title To be offered on Friday, 1 March 2024 The high-performance, lightweight variant of the famed NSX Originally built for the Japanese market only One of only 483 first-generation examples Fewer than 18,500 km (~11,496 miles) from new at the time of cataloguing Excellent preservation throughout A no-holds-barred variant of the famed NSX supercar that maximized performance above all other considerations, the NSX-R was lightened via numerous traditional methods, including deletion of sound deadening, the audio and air conditioning systems, traction control, spare tire, and even some of the electrical system, and fitment of custom Recaro racing seats and Enkei lightweight forged aluminum wheels. Altogether, some 265 pounds were stripped away, for a total curb weight of 2,710 pounds. Some 483 examples of the “ultimate NSX” were produced between 1992 and 1996, exclusively for the Japanese domestic market. Understandably they are now considered the most sought-after of the first-generation NSXs and have become hotly collectible among JDM supercar enthusiasts. The NSX-R offered here, finished in Championship White over Red interior, was recently imported from its home country, and remains in impeccable overall condition with fewer than 18,500 kilometers (~11,496 miles) at the time of cataloguing. Its originality is impressive to behold, with the factory plastic still covering the door sills! Further, the car is accompanied by everything that one expects to find with such a prime example, including Japanese service records from new, owner’s manual and other books, and keys, and has undergone recent servicing in preparation for sale. This is undoubtedly one of the finest examples of this model, scarcely available on American shores but well-equipped to enthrall its new owner on either side of the Pacific. #classic #classics #classiccars #collectorcars #carcollectors #historic #vintage #performance #racing #rallying #driving #car #cars #automotiveindustry #auto #autos #autoindustry #auction #forsale #sold #automotive #investment #privatesale
