Everrati unveils first U.S. left-hand-drive Pagoda at Monterey Car Week

Everrati will debut its first U.S.-market, left-hand-drive Mercedes-Benz SL W113 "Pagoda" during Monterey Car Week in California, marking a milestone in the company’s North American expansion. The Cypress Commission is one of three one-off Everrati builds on display, alongside a Land Rover Series IIA and Porsche 911 (964) RSR commission.

Why it matters: - Everrati’s Cypress Commission is the company’s first Pagoda built specifically for the U.S. market and left-hand drive. - The debut signals a new phase in Everrati’s North American expansion. - Monterey Car Week gives collectors and enthusiasts a first look at a modernized Pagoda aimed at American use.

What happened: - Everrati will present the Cypress Commission during Monterey Car Week in California, which runs Aug. 7 to 16. - The car is a left-hand-drive Mercedes-Benz SL W113 "Pagoda" and the first U.S.-market example from Everrati. - Everrati will also show two other one-of-one commissions during the event: the Skibo Castle Commission and the Evergreen Commission. - Justin Lunny, Everrati founder and CEO, called the Cypress Commission a landmark car for the company and said Monterey Car Week is the right stage to introduce it to America.

The details: - The Cypress Commission is inspired by California’s Central Coast. - Everrati describes the car as blending open-air driving, refined electric performance and the original visual proportions of the W113. - The powertrain uses a 68kWh, 500V setup producing 300bhp and 300Nm of torque. - The Cypress Commission has an estimated range of more than 230 miles. - Everrati says the car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under 7.0 seconds. - Regenerative braking, AC charging and DC fast charging are included. - The estimated weight is 1,500kg. - The Skibo Castle Commission is a one-of-one Land Rover Series IIA created with The Carnegie Club. - Everrati says the Skibo Castle Commission reflects Scottish craft and provenance. - The Evergreen Commission is a U.S.-market, left-hand-drive Porsche 911 (964) RSR. - Everrati says the Evergreen Commission carries a motorsport, family and collector story. - Each commission will be displayed by appointment during Monterey Car Week. - Cypress will appear on Thursday, Aug. 13 at Legends of the Autobahn at Pacific Grove Golf Links from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. - Skibo Castle will appear on Friday, Aug. 14 at Werks Reunion at Monterey Pines Golf Course from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. - Evergreen will appear on Saturday, Aug. 15 at Benzes at the Barnyard at The Barnyard in Carmel from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. - More information is available in Everrati’s Monterey Car Week guide.

Between the lines: - The three commissions show Everrati using different historic vehicles to reach collectors across distinct tastes: Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover and Porsche. - The U.S.-market and left-hand-drive focus suggests Everrati is tailoring its electric restomods more directly to American buyers. - The company’s emphasis on software-led electric redefinition and craftsmanship positions the brand between restoration and bespoke EV engineering.

What’s next: - Everrati will use Monterey Car Week to put the Cypress, Skibo Castle and Evergreen commissions in front of buyers, collectors and media. - The company’s North American operations remain based in Irvine, California, supporting future U.S. activity. - Everrati says its Powered by Everrati business will continue supplying propulsion, software and integration expertise to other brands and creators.

The bottom line: - Everrati is using Monterey Car Week to showcase a clearer U.S. strategy: familiar icons, modern electric performance and highly customized builds for the collector market.
