Kingsbridge ‘Techs the Halls’ this Christmas with new Robotic Surgery offering for the North West at Ballykelly Hospital

Kingsbridge Healthcare Group (KHG) is celebrating another “first” with Kingsbridge Private Hospital North West, in Ballykelly taking delivery of a state of the art MAKO Robotic-Arm Surgical System that will allow orthopaedic surgeons to perform joint replacements with even greater precision and accuracy.

As the only hospital in Northern Ireland offering such a pioneering device, this latest development reinforces KHG’s commitment to leading the way in providing new services, expertise, innovation, and technology to the NI Healthcare arena.

Kingsbridge Private Hospital North West General Manager, Anthony McKenna explains the positive impact this new assisted surgical system will have on both patients and surgeons.

“The MAKO Robotic-Arm Surgical System allows consultants to plot every step of the procedure in advance using CT imaging and 3D technology to plan and visualise the positioning of the implant before surgery, ensuring predictable and consistently successful outcomes.

“Software within the device creates an individualised pre-operation plan that facilitates less dissection, minimising trauma to soft tissue surrounding the joint resulting in a quicker recovery, less pain and shorter hospital stays for patients. The combination of the consultant’s expertise alongside the precision of technological assistance also means that replacement joints can not only feel more ‘natural’ but will also last longer.”

Specialised training has been completed in both Belfast and Luxembourg with a team of Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeons led by Mr Graham Bailie, along with Mr Andrew James and Mr Danny McCaffrey, organised by Kingsbridge Training Academy in conjunction with leading medical technology company Stryker, manufacturers of the MAKO Robotic-Arm Surgical System.

Sarah Marks Chief Operating Officer at KHG said “We are very excited to begin robotic surgery and finish a 4 year journey to bring this service to people in NI. The delivery of the MAKO robot cements further our close relationship with Stryker who have been our long-standing partners in our orthopaedic growth journey.”

While scans and consultations can be arranged in Belfast as well as Ballykelly, all MAKO Robotic – Arm Assisted Surgery will be undertaken in Kingsbridge Private Hospital North West.

Self-Pay Orthopaedic patients can find out more about this new service and other orthopaedic treatments at a series of Public Information sessions being hosted by Kingsbridge Hospital Group in January at locations in Belfast, Ballymena, Craigavon, Omagh and Derry.

4 Crucial Considerations When Launching Your Social Media Account

So, you’re thinking of dipping your toes into the world of OnlyFans to spice up your income a bit. Kudos to you for exploring new avenues as an independent creator. But hold your horses before you start tossing pics left and right – there’s more to launching an OnlyFans account than meets the eye. Sure, it might seem like a walk in the park, but trust me, there are some essential things you’ve got to mull over first to set yourself up for the win. 

Jumping in headfirst might leave you feeling frustrated, burnt out, and with little to show for your efforts. However, armed with a solid plan and a clear understanding of what lies ahead, you’ll be in a prime position to grow your audience, keep those fans coming back, and start seeing some green from your account. So, before you embark on your OnlyFans journey, here are five crucial things to chew on.

Top 4 Things to Consider When Launching Your OnlyFans Account

These are the five main things you should keep in mind when launching your OnlyFans account:

Define Your Brand and Set Boundaries:

When you’re launching your OnlyFans account, it’s not just about sharing content randomly. You’ve got to define your brand and set clear boundaries. What’s your niche? For example, OnlyFans porn models creators, cosplay OnlyFans models, and so on. The clearer your brand is, the easier it will be to attract fans that resonate with you. Here are a few other things to have in mind:

  • Set a Subscription Fee: Check out what other creators in your niche are charging and find a sweet spot that’s both competitive and profitable. And, don’t shy away from promotions – free trials, bundle packages, or loyalty programs can reel in those subscribers.
  • Keep the Content Flowing: aim for at least three posts a week to keep your followers hooked. Take requests, interact via DMs, and run contests, and giveaways. Make your subscribers feel like the VIPs they are.
  • Review and Optimize: Pay attention to what your top fans respond to the best. Give the people what they want!

Remember, success on OnlyFans boils down to consistency, quality, and building genuine relationships with your subscribers. Lay the groundwork by defining your brand, setting boundaries, promoting actively, and engaging with your fans. Nail these, and you’ll be on your way to OnlyFans stardom.

Optimize Your OnlyFans Page for Discovery

To get noticed on OnlyFans, you need a profile that stands out. Here’s the lowdown:

First off, choose a username that packs a punch – something with relevant keywords like your niche or persona. A moniker like “NaughtyNurseJenny” or “FitMike89” gives followers a sneak peek into what you’re all about.

Next, your profile photo and cover photo are your first impressions, so make it count. Use high-quality, eye-catching images that flaunt your best features. Wear something sexy that aligns with your brand.

Finally, in your bio, describe what your subscribers can expect in a fun, flirty way. Mention your posting schedule, the kind of content you share, and any special promotions. Use enticing language to draw them in!

Promote Your Account and Build Your Audience

Getting the word out about your OnlyFans account is crucial. Here’s how to kickstart it:

Leverage your existing social media platforms. If you’re already rocking the Insta, Twitter, or Snapchat scene, shout out that you’ve joined the OnlyFans club. Post teasers and behind-the-scenes content on your socials, complete with links directing folks to your OnlyFans profile. Your existing followers will likely make up a chunk of your initial subscribers.

Be active in engaging with your followers. Like and reply to their comments, post Stories, and go Live when you can. The more interaction, the more loyal your fan base becomes.

Collaborations

Collaborate with fellow creators on OnlyFans. Do shoutouts for shoutouts, where you both promote each other to your respective followers. You can even appear on each other’s OnlyFans profiles for joint photoshoots and videos. Collaborating is like turbo-boosting your subscriber count.

Look for creators who have a similar vibe and fan base. Chances are, your audiences will overlap and they’ll love being introduced to each other. When collaborating, be true to yourself. Only team up with creators you genuinely admire and want to work with. Your fans can tell when it’s authentic, so keep it real in your collaborations.

Wrapping Up Your Journey to OnlyFans Success

So there you have it, the lowdown on kicking off your OnlyFans adventure. Remember, keep it real about your earning expectations. Build your content and fanbase gradually with consistency and engagement. Price your subscription wisely based on your brand and offerings. 

Promote your account actively to gain new subscribers, but also focus on keeping your current fans happy. Consider your content and branding carefully to strike the right balance for your personal style and comfort level. Starting an OnlyFans might not be a quick cash grab, but armed with knowledge and a commitment to building real connections, it can be a rewarding ride. Now get out there, be your authentic self, and make that money, champ! You’ve got this.

 

Tech Review – GeoSmartPro Smart Air Fryer

The GeoSmartPro Smart Air Fryer is the latest gadget to hit techbuzz and yes I am no cooking expert and can hardly fry an egg but I am aware of these Air Fryers and have one some years and use it quite often or should I say let someone else do the work for me but now that this has arrived I have taken a keen interest to get to do it all on my own because it has an app and makes life simple for me anyway.

So the product itself seems robust in comparison to my current relic in the house and has a bigger capacity you can see through it which the current one you cant, you can set timers and so on but need to keep checking to be safe so with this one out of the bat it is good to watch the food cook and you also have a shake reminder for the likes of chips and sausages etc.

You have plenty of presets at hand and can add your own which is handy so half the job is done for you and there is recipes available in the app which again makes life easy, you have two tray positions which my current one does not have which is another win and will tell you how old mine is and a fry basket handle.

With the 8 Presets you get Chicken Leg, Steak, Fish, Cake, Pizza, Sausage, Chips and Bacon so for me it covers my main staples of food. You can add other varieties of food such as frozen fries wedges chops hamburgers spring rolls, fish fingers, I love them, muffins and sweet snacks. You get instructions of weight and time and if you need to shake or not, you are basically a cook in a few mins..

The basket and tray are dishwasher proof and you should clean after each use which is something done on the old one anyway so it is also easy to maintain.

The App 

The App is simple to set up more so on Android than iOS in my finding as we always test apps on both versions where applicable and on my iPhone was a bit annoying but got there in the end. The control panel on the app is simple to read and well laid out which is perfect and the control panel on the Fryer itself is simple to use but you will find you will lean towards to the app rather than the panel but you can use the control panel if you wish to do so, but the app is there and that is what it is for

Control panel on the GeoSmartPro Air Fryer
  • Power off/on
  • Select preset functions (including drumsticks, steak, cake, fish and more.) ● Custom set temperature and time
  • Turn off/on light
  • Use voice assistant with Google Home
  • Set timer
  • Notifications to shake food
  • Recipes

Overall this has been a bit of a game changer here for me with getting my food done for me in better ways and having an app made it easy with all the details given for me, like I said I am no food expert but after having my old Air Fryer that was never smart to having one that is makes life easy, I can cook my own meals, see it cooking and get reminded of things should I get from the comfort of my couch or office desk which in short is a win.

Features

  • App Control for Ultimate Convenience: Take command of your air fryer using the GeoSmartPro App, effortlessly customize cooking settings based on your favorite recipes, all at your fingertips.
  • 8 Pre-set Cooking Programs for Effortless Meals: Enjoy easy cooking with 8 pre-programmed settings, perfect for drumsticks, steak, pizza, cake baking, and more. You can also set your preferred temperature ranging from 80-200°C. Unleash the inner chef in you!
  • Generous 8L Capacity: Prepare larger meals with ease thanks to the spacious 8L capacity, perfect for batch cooking.
  • Bonus: 50+ Free Recipes Included: Jumpstart your culinary journey with up to 50 pre-programmed recipes available on the GeoSmartPro app. We continuously update with fresh, healthier cooking ideas.
  • Sleek Ergonomic Design: Our air fryer’s ergonomic design seamlessly fits into your kitchen, creating more workspace for a superior cooking experience.

Tech Review – AENO Premium Eco Smart LED Heater

It is coming in the Winter months now and it already has some reach for their electric blankets and turning on their heating which is what we do and no better time to check out a new Premium Eco Smart LED Heater from Aeno. This is the latest piece of tech for the home we have been testing out over the last while coming up to the Christmas Season.

This heater can be placed on the ground or wall/ceiling mounted so there is choice and does not have to be a fixed heater, today most people tend to use portable heaters and this is certainly portable and not only that it does no look like a heater at first glance, it literally takes two minutes to set up on its legs if you are leaving it on the floor and the job is done and you can still move it around the house should you wish to do so.

The design is quite nice it is thin 11mm to be exact and light and looks like a wide monitor PC screen when you first take it out and set it up, there is controls on the sides but you have an app to do other changes and set things up to your needs which is handy and we take a look at this in the video review below.

One of the standout features of AENO Smart Heaters is their ability to SMART Mode when it is needed to maintain a configurable comfortable temperature without loss of electricity to the air. All models of AENO heaters are more efficient than other types of heaters and heating methods (convectional heating, air conditioning, floor heating, central heating). The heating is done through infrared rather than convection.

The AENO app – techbuzzireland

Quickly and effectively uses the whole 700+ Watts of power without wasting heat and money. Panel temperature can be changed through the application from 120 degrees Celcius to 60 degrees Celcius change the range of temperatures from 700W+ to 150W+. It cost me about 8 euro a week to run.

It is twice as efficient as a conventional heater. Once the room is heated to a set temperature, the heater automatically switches off, not wasting electricity, while upkeeping the room temperature (in SMART Mode). Upkeeping the room temperature is always cheaper. You can save energy and money and stay warm for the entire heating season. Traditionally the portable heaters you find in electrical stores today are not very economical on your electricity bill and don’t tend to be too expensive and this is the reason why so if you want to save money and have a stylish looking heater spending the extra money pays off in the long run.

Finally being able to control this with an app you can have your room heated before you get home a the tap of a button if you have not set a timer which in the Winter months is a win and checking my costings on my meter vs this it does save money and does not have to be left on all day and you are total control.

Tech Review – XbotGo AI tracking sports gimbal

The XbotGo AI Sports Gimbal is a versatile tool designed to effortlessly capture and live stream team sports like soccer, basketball, and football. Ideal for sports enthusiasts and parents eager to record their children’s games or practices, this gimbal ensures you won’t miss a moment of the action. In tandem with this we also use their T4 tripod which proved super beneficial and stable compared to others including the one I use to catch the product in action on a windy day so I would advise getting this as well as the gimbal for better results.

The gimbal is not like other per se but could be used however the structure and set up is familiar like others and gimbal users will have no time at all getting going it takes about 5 minutes to get set up and running on site and you let the product do all the work for you which is what I like most.

There is some parameters to fill in depending on the sport or if used in single use like we tested in as there is no sports activities on now with the holidays it proved beneficial and just works all the time.

There is some controls on the product too should you need to adjust things somewhat and again simple to follow there is a shutter key on the rear which doubles as a volume key on iPhone, there is a joystick and mode button too for your convenience.

To get set up you need to get the balance right on your phone and when you open the arm you will need to set the device right on it to get the best results and once set each time you turn it on it will automatically set up, you can easily toggle between modes and then just let the AI tracking do its job it is quite impressive again it is ideal for those in the sports industry to monitor individuals or team work and you just sit back and check the results later.

Another benefit to this is the option to live stream which again is excellent for local league matches and so on or a school team sports for example and overall an ideal product that is not expensive to get the job done for those into sports and again I would advise getting their tripods for optimal results which are smooth ones at that and does not jerk freeze or go off track. Check the video for more below to see what is in the app and how it works.

Key features include:

  • Hands-free recording of team sports.
  • User-friendly app for intuitive control.
  • Advanced auto-tracking utilizing pose and motion tracking technology.
  • Superior image stabilization for clear, uninterrupted footage.
  • Compact, foldable design for easy portability.
  • Intelligent shooting modes, including panoramic shots with up to 340° coverage.
  • No subscription or hidden fees.
  • Compatible with both Android and iOS; available on Google Play and the App Store.
  • Recommended accessories: The T1 tripod (3.77ft) for basketball, and the T4 tripod (13ft) for soccer (football).
  • Compatible Remote Control – sold separately

Trapped Inside: Solving Tesla’s Power Outage and Vehicle Lock-In Problems

The ever-evolving automotive industry is no stranger to the revolutionary designs and eco-conscious vision of Tesla. However, owners are concerned about the safety and convenience of electric vehicles, particularly older users who are less tech-savvy. Instances of unexpected power outages have left residents trapped, struggling to locate and use the manual door unlock mechanism. While the Tesla app can provide a solution in some cases, it often means shattering a window in others. In such cases, contacting a nearby auto locksmith service may be the only solution. In this article, we will look closer at the recent lock-in problems Tesla users are experiencing.

Recent Tesla Lock-In Incidents

An unfortunate incident highlighting Tesla’s lock-in problem involved a 73-year-old man from Arizona. On a scorching June day with temperatures soaring to 100 degrees, his Tesla car experienced a power failure while he was inside. He found himself trapped within his Model Y. According to the man, the ordeal began in his garage when all the car’s functions, including the glove box and door locks, suddenly ceased to work. With the windows unable to roll down and his unfamiliarity with the car’s manual lock release mechanism, he endured sweltering heat for approximately 20 minutes.

Thankfully, when he reached out to his sister, her Tesla app came to the rescue, allowing the door to be unlocked. Although one of the car’s windows had to be shattered, he escaped just in the nick of time. Being trapped in the car for more than an hour would have been a disastrous ordeal. Only afterward did he realize the Tesla Model Y had experienced a sudden power loss due to its separate 12v battery running out of charge.

In a separate incident, a nine-year-old child and her mother found themselves stranded in a 2018 Tesla Model 3 when it unexpectedly lost all power. However, the mother remembered how to manually engage the safety lock on the car, enabling them to exit the vehicle without further delay.

The Growing Concern 

Tesla, synonymous with innovation, has undeniably transformed the automotive landscape. Nevertheless, even within such an impressive brand, unexpected challenges can surface. Tesla owners and prospective buyers share a growing apprehension regarding the reliability of its electrical reserves and the possibility of being stranded. 

Tesla proudly emphasizes the safety of its vehicles, boasting coveted 5-star safety certifications. Tesla cars are also equipped with multiple security features to deter car theft and aid in locating stolen vehicles. However, concerns have arisen regarding electric disruptions that result in unresponsiveness, as many owners have reported sudden power failures while driving or in various settings, often without apparent reasons.

What compounds these concerns is the escalating frequency of such incidents, as evidenced by the mounting complaints received by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) from Tesla owners. Among the issues at hand is the difficulty locating the manual door release, which is often poorly labeled and frequently overlooked by Tesla owners who may need to consult or read the owner’s manual.

What Does This Mean for Tesla

Lockout incidents are not limited to Tesla vehicles. There have been considerably more reports of comparable or worse incidents with different Electric Vehicle (EV) brands, most of which differ. Tesla will likely face the most criticism because people have high expectations of the highly-rated brand. This does not absolve the corporation of responsibility. Millions of cars that were sold in the US have already been recalled by the manufacturer because of an autopilot issue. 

According to a recent poll, many Tesla owners file complaints with the federal vehicle safety inspectors; nonetheless, the agency advises owners of electric vehicles to become familiar with manual safeguards in case of emergency. EV comes with a detailed manual that explains maintenance practices and how to navigate from the car in such instances. 

Tesla vehicles have a guidebook explaining how and when to replace the 12v battery and how to use the safety latch. Every Tesla owner should study the instructions thoroughly before driving it for the first time. Tesla and other automotive firms should take the initiative to promote the importance of doing so. 

Final Thoughts

The multiple reports of people becoming stuck in Tesla vehicles are unsettling and highlight the need for precautionary measures and having the contact information of a professional auto locksmith readily accessible. Electric vehicles play a significant role in the automotive industry’s technological evolution and environmental efforts. As technology continues to advance, users need to understand the operational aspects of these vehicles, including potential malfunctions and safety measures.

Workhuman research finds 1 in 4 employees expect to respond to work emails over Christmas

Workhuman®, the company revolutionising the way employees celebrate, connect with and appreciate each other in the workplace, today announces new findings from its Human Workplace Index, which found that 1 in 4 (27%) of employees expect they will be responding to work emails over Christmas. While work pressures are getting to employees, more than half (58%) of employees in Ireland say they are also stressed about the financial burden of buying Christmas gifts this year.

The survey of 1,000 full-time employees in Ireland was commissioned by Workhuman and conducted by Pollfish to gain insights into attitudes and expectations around the holidays, including how work cultures support employees during the season, as well as gifting and giving habits.

The research suggests that many find it difficult to take a break over the holidays. Some 22% of employees say they will not be able to fully switch off from work over their Christmas holidays while 28% admitted that their large workload would prevent them from taking as much time off as they would like over the holidays.

The survey also found that, though the spirit of the season is alive and well, many employees may find this a stressful time of year. Per the research, employees expect to spend an average of €974 each on Christmas gifts this year. More than half of employees (54%) responded that they feel stressed out about buying holiday gifts— however this doesn’t seem to be hindering the amount of people they shop for, with nearly a quarter of employees saying they will buy holiday presents for up to 10 people.

Workhuman’s survey found that as people get into the festive spirit, the majority of employees who receive end-of-year bonuses are using them to pay for Christmas presents. More than a quarter (27%) of respondents who receive end-of-year bonuses say they are essential for affording Christmas presents, while a further 53% said they alleviate some of the financial burden. Despite this, over half (51%) of respondents would prefer to receive smaller spot bonuses throughout the year rather than one larger lump sum at the end of the year.

Many employees expressed an interest in employee recognition as a means of supplementing their Christmas budgets. Workhuman’s survey shows that 66% of employees would like to use points from an employee recognition programme to buy gifts. Employees are using Workhuman’s recognition platform in this way, with smartwatches, air fryers and headphones among the top purchases for those based in Europe.

When it comes to gifting trends in the workplace, 44% of employees receive Christmas gifts from their colleagues and 27% do a ‘Secret Santa’ at work. Some 32% get presents from their employer or manager and, of these, 95% say they usually, or always, like them. However, 12% admitted they usually re-gift them to someone else.

Niamh Graham, Senior Vice President of Global Human Experience, Workhuman: “Our research has shown that while this is an exciting time of year, it can also be a stressful one. Financial, familial, and professional pressures can impact employees over the holiday season. When done right, company culture can help to alleviate some of this stress, rather than being a cause of it. Ensuring employees are using their paid time off and have a solid coverage plan so they can truly unplug over the holidays is a practice leadership should demonstrate and encourage.

“Employee experience initiatives can also help get at some of this stress; spot bonuses and redeemable recognition points can be partic

Isomorphism Universe Design: A Distinctive Flagship Masterpiece

The striking module design on the back of the nubia Z60 Ultra highlights its unique and powerful photography capabilities. Inspired by the isomorphic universe, the design extends the imaging module area to the edge of the phone, offering an expansive and impactful visual experience. This design not only showcases the beauty and depth of the universe but also ensures that the arrangement of the three main cameras avoids internal magnetic interference caused by the OIS and AF systems of the lenses, maintaining optimal photography performance.

The back of the device uses AG flash-sand glass with millions of micron-level crystal structures, giving the phone a flowing silver metallic texture and a cyberpunk futuristic aesthetic. The sides are adorned with an aerospace-grade metal middle frame and support ergonomic customizable sliding keys with five functions: photo taking, mute, recording, flashlight, and game space, all easily customizable and activated with a single toggle.

The nubia Z60 Ultra is available in two color options: Black and Silver. nubia also continues to offer the classic Starry Sky Collection Edition, available exclusively in China for now.

Everrati grows redefined and electrified Porsche portfolio with homage to the legendary 964 RSR

Everrati Automotive Limited (Everrati™), the leading sustainable-luxury technology company specialising in redefining and futureproofing automotive icons through the integration of
cutting-edge electric vehicle (EV) powertrains, today reveals its most driver-focused electrified Porsche yet – a new addition inspired by the Type 964 RSR.

Building on Everrati’s leading portfolio of redefined modern classic Porsches, the new zero emission homage channels the ethos of the Type 964 RSR 3.8, blending a stunning motorsport-inspired hand-built 911, with carbon-fibre body elements and a host of weight-saving measures both inside and out, bringing things up to date with a bespoke, OEM-grade, state-of-the-art EV powertrain.

Launched in 1993, the Type 964 RSR 3.8 is one of the rarest 964 variants with just 51 examples of the race-ready lightweight, rear-drive, turbo wide-bodied competition car ever produced. At the time it revived a famous Porsche motorsport badge which first appeared on the 1973 911 Carrera RSR and has since featured on ultimate track-focused 996, 997, 991 models.

As car custodians and passionate automotive enthusiasts, Everrati is honouring the 964 RSR’s influence and legacy with its redefined model, creating a fully futureproofed example of sustainable luxury in the process, a rolling piece of art, a vehicle that can be enjoyed by generations to come.

Based on an expertly restored 911 (964), which started life as a narrow-bodied car, Everrati’s
RS-inspired edition respects the lightweight, high-performance ethos of the RSR, with its rear seats deleted, a rear roll cage added and lightweight driver and passenger seats installed, clad in the world’s lowest carbon leather from Everrati partner Bridge of Weir Leather.

On the outside, there are lightweight 18-inch wheels from HRE, while the eye-catching carbon-fibre bodywork boasts a completely new aero package, including larger rear spoiler inspired by the legendary 964 RSR, along with a revised front lower splitter.

Under the skin lies an OEM-grade 63kWh battery pack and battery management system. This Gen2 version brings multiple advances over Everrati’s Gen1 system, featuring new and improved cooling and a more refined version of its drive controller and software, enhancing performance and efficiency. With OEM-grade high-performance electric motors delivering electrifying power to the rear wheels via a limited slip differential, the RSR-inspired version enables an emission-free range of more than 200 miles and 3.7 second 0-60mph acceleration.

The RSR homage also features TracTive suspension, a premium, electronically controlled active and adaptive suspension system which offers multiple settings designed to optimize and enhance driving dynamics, comfort and performance, whether on the road or track.  Combined with Apple CarPlay and AC and DC Fast charging, the new RSR homage is fully equipped for a short B-road blast or longer touring journey.

Everrati Founder and CEO, Justin Lunny, commented: “This exciting new addition to our range of redefined and electrified 911s is without doubt the most driver-focused yet. Paying homage to a legendary model from three decades ago, our new ‘RSR’ gets pulses racing with a host of lightweight enhancements, resulting in an unrivalled experience that combines the best of classic design with modern, zero-emission, performance.

“Like all our models, it features hand-built craftsmanship, with OEM-grade engineering processes, futureproofed via a state-of-the-art electric powertrain. We are committed to preserving the legacy of iconic vehicles while advancing the transition to sustainable luxury mobility. Our expertise in redefined Porsches positions us as the go-to international creator of redefined 911s and iconic cars.”

The new model, like all 964-based variants in its range, will be built for an international market by Everrati’s production partners, Aria Group, based in Irvine, California, underlining its strategy to forge relationships with the world’s best specialists where appropriate.

Designed and developed at its global headquarters in Oxfordshire, the latest 911 RSR-inspired model will join Everrati’s leading portfolio of redefined automotive icons, which includes electric versions of the Porsche 911 (964) Coupe, Targa, Cabriolet, G-Series based ST-inspired edition, Range Rover Classic, Land Rover Defender, Land Rover Series, GT40, and Mercedes-Benz W113 SL ‘Pagoda’.
