Leading UK electrifier of classic cars Everrati today announced a strategic partnership with Dubai, UAE-based W Motors, the Middle East’s high-performance luxury hypercar maker known for models like the Lykan HyperSport, Fenyr SuperSport, and Ghiath security and defense police vehicles.

The collaboration will see W Motors become Everrati’s manufacturing partner for the Middle East, enabling the production of its electrified portfolio in Dubai and expanding Everrati’s global footprint to meet rising international demand. In addition, the Powered by Everrati B2B division will develop and supply advanced electric powertrain solutions for W Motors’ upcoming zero-emission vehicles.

“This agreement will enable Everrati to expand our footprint in the Middle East–a key market for our redefined and electrified icons–while at the same time allowing W Motors to leverage our in-house developed, OEM-grade advanced electric powertrain technologies for its future vehicles,” said Justin Lunny, Everrati Founder and CEO.

From its headquarters in Oxfordshire, UK, Everrati uses OEM-grade processes, best-in-class suppliers, partners, and skilled engineering “artisans,” combined with traditional hand-built techniques and modern technology, to create sustainable automotive classics. The company’s range of electrified automotive icons includes EVs based on the Land Rover Range Rover Classic, Defender, and Series models as well as Ford GT40 and Mercedes-Benz W113 SL “Pagoda.” Redefined and electrified versions of the company’s Porsche 911 (964) Coupe, Targa, and Cabriolet are hand-built by Everrati’s technical partner, Aria Group, in Irvine, CA.

Everrati will establish an Expertise Centre in the Middle East region, located within W Motors’ new automotive factory in Dubai Silicon Oasis, UAE, and be the lead electric powertrain supplier for W Motors’ upcoming EV program expected to produce multiple green vehicles outside of the luxury hypercar space as well as an electric supercar.

“Everrati’s electrified icons and its proprietary powertrains set new standards–we are proud to partner with such a trailblazing brand, playing a key role in its further expansion in the Middle East and beyond, at the same time taking advantage of its technical expertise to support W Motors’ growth in the creation of bespoke electric vehicles, across both the luxury and sustainable mobility sectors,” said Ralph R. Debbas, W Motors’ Chairman, Founder & CEO. “This partnership will also give us an opportunity to explore electric vehicle options for the Ghiath program, developed in partnership with Dubai Police and that falls under our security and defense division.”

Founded by Debbas in 2012, W Motors is the first manufacturer of high-performance luxury sports cars in the Middle East. The fully integrated company capabilities span automotive design and R&D to technology and engineering as well as consultancy and manufacturing under the Special Projects Division.

Its first hypercar was the Lykan HyperSport, which catapulted the company to international stardom when it took center stage in Universal Studios’ “Furious 7” movie. Its most recent hypercar launch was the Fenyr SuperSport, a limited edition with a production run of 110 units. The Ghiath Smart Patrol ushered in its innovation-led high-tech defense and security capabilities.

In 2024, W Motors will open its state-of-the-art automotive factory in Dubai UAE to accommodate the production of all current and future models, including electric and autonomous vehicles, in line with the UAE Net Zero by 2050 Strategic Initiative.
