The Rolls-Royce Corniche, that grand 1970s land yacht, has been given a new lease of life as an electric convertible by UK-based Halcyon. The company is producing just 60 “remastered” models, each built to order with a specification shaped around the customer’s tastes.

According to the company, the project begins with over 2,000 hours of restoration, stripping the donor vehicle into bare metal. Owners can decide whether to preserve the Corniche’s timeless design or add modern touches such as chrome bumpers, redesigned headlights, fresh alloy wheels, and custom exterior details.

Bespoke Everything

Inside, Halcyon has reimagined the Corniche with natural materials, bespoke detailing, and a surprising degree of flexibility. One early buyer opted for a two-seat layout with a sculpted rear cabin, and the company is even considering offering a custom Louis Vuitton luggage set.

Other updates bring the car in line with modern expectations, including heated and ventilated seats, an upgraded sound system, hidden infotainment, and automatic climate control.

The first completed commission seen here is known as “Highland Heather” and it draws inspiration from Scotland’s moorlands. Its Purple Moorland exterior is paired with a white-and-purple interior finished in hand-stitched leather, wood, and metal accents.

Silent But Powerful

Underneath the classic silhouette, the 6.75-liter V8 has been replaced with a fully electric powertrain developed by Evice Technologies. In its most potent form, the setup produces up to 500 hp (373 kW / 507 PS), more than doubling the output of the original Corniche.

Buyers have a choice between two battery packs, delivering 250 miles (402 km) and 300 miles (483 km) of range respectively. Furthermore, the 800V architecture is compatible with charging speeds of up to 230 kW. Interestingly, the company claims that the conversion adds zero weight to the Rolls-Royce Corniche compared to the factory V8 model, which is as wild as it sounds.

Chassis upgrades include a semi-active suspension and an upgraded braking system. Just like modern vehicles, the Corniche has three drive modes named Drive, Spirited, and Touring, which change the powertrain and damping characteristics.

The Price Of Silence

The first customer cars are due in the fourth quarter of 2026. Prices kick off at £400,000 ($537,000), not including taxes or the donor Corniche itself, which could add anywhere from $40,000 to more than $80,000, depending on the condition.

So by the time you’re done, you’re paying north of half a million for the privilege of silently cruising around in a 1970s Rolls that looks like it should still smell faintly of cigars and aftershave. But hey, exclusivity has never come cheap, and at least this one won’t leak oil on your driveway.

The Porsche 993 has long been one of the most sought-after 911s, remembered as the final generation to feature an air-cooled engine. That distinction is absent in Everrati’s latest creation, which transforms the 1990s classic into a fully electric sports car while offering a wide range of customization and modern refinements.

The process behind the 911 (993) Founders Edition begins with a full restoration of the donor vehicle, handled by Porsche specialists. From there, the body is reimagined with carbon fiber panels that stay true to the timeless 993 silhouette while borrowing subtle cues from the Turbo S.

Notable exterior changes include new LED lighting, Everrati badging, and of course, the disappearance of exhaust tips. The car rides on 18-inch forged alloy wheels inspired by the classic HRE turbo twists, and buyers can personalize their cars with a broad palette of paint finishes and optional graphics.

Restored Cabin With Modern Touches

Inside, the 993 receives a mix of heritage and modern convenience. Alcantara and Bridge of Weir leather cover much of the cabin, while smaller details such as stalks and touchpoints have been retrimmed. The instrument cluster retains the familiar five-gauge layout of the original, only now updated for the electric setup.

A discreet Porsche Classic navigation unit sits in the center console, providing Bluetooth connectivity and the option of pairing with a higher-grade sound system. For those who want a sportier layout, Recaro Sportster CS seats can replace the standard front chairs, and a rear seat delete is available.

More Power, Same Weight

The most important changes happen under the skin. The air-cooled flat-six is gone, giving way to a single electric motor with 760 hp (567 kW / 771 PS) and 810 Nm (597 lb-ft) of torque. These figures eclipse even Porsche’s most extreme 993 models, including the Carrera RS, Turbo S, and GT2. A custom differential channels power to the rear wheels, enabling a 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h) sprint in 3.3 seconds and 0-100 mph (0-161 km/h) in 8 seconds.

Energy is supplied by a 63 kWh battery pack with advanced management and temperature control systems. On a full charge, it delivers up to 320 km (200 miles) of range, though enthusiastic driving will likely bring that figure down. The system supports 100 kW fast charging, allowing the battery to replenish from 20 to 80 percent in about 25 minutes.

Everrati also emphasizes that the conversion closely matches the original car’s weight and balance, preserving the 993’s driving character.

Handling And Reversibility

The classic Porsche benefits from power-assisted steering, regenerative braking, as well as new suspension components and uprated brakes. For those who want the best handling, the company offers an optional performance package that adds active suspension and more durable materials for the brakes.

Importantly, the process is reversible, meaning the donor Porsche can return to its factory state if desired, an assurance that could help protect resale values.

The 911 (993) Founders Edition is already available to order at an undisclosed price. The question is whether there will be enough 993 owners willing to convert their air-cooled Porsches into BEVs.
