Classic with V8 - ECD Project S² Land Rover Defender 110

Blow by blow, the tuner is progressing ECD Automotive Design. Almost every week we present modified Land Rover Defenders and the conversions always have a big V8 under the hood. And of course that is also the case with the current "PROJECT S²" the case. Again, the basis is a Defender 110 but this time there was a different engine. While the last vehicles without exception were powered by an LS3 6.2L V8 engine from the Chevrolet Corvette (different performance levels) were powered this time a 5.3-liter LC9 V8 is used. It is known from the Chevrolet Suburban 4WD or the GMC Yukon XL 4WD. In the series state, the engine usually delivered around the 330 PS & 450 NM but maybe there were a few horses in addition with the ECD conversion. However, we lack specific information on this.

The changes outside are based largely on the previously known vehicles from ECD Automotive. The body got a painting in original Grasmere Green (Color code LRC726) and lots of new attachments. In front there is the popular Heritage Edition Anniversary grille and a new bumper including WARN winch. Also, the hood with Powerdome is new and the same applies to the black LED headlights and turn signals. In addition some covers from Riffelblech and unmistakably a large roof structure including ladder and complete spare wheel at the tail. The classic steel rims shine in body color and are also equipped with BF Goodrich Offroad tires.

And of course there was also a completely new suspension including subtle elevation. Suitable for practical entry aids to be able to reach the completely finished cabin. Inside, Rugata Brown's fully refurbished leather seats are set to delight in pleasantries such as an Alpine Infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, WiFi, JL 8-speaker audio system and a state-of-the-art instrument cluster and classic 3 spoke wood steering wheel. The second row of seats is completely new leather and even the practical seats in the rear of the Defender has been adjusted accordingly. Of course, this Defender also has countless other small details such as the LED lightbar on the roof, the small plaques in and on the vehicle, etc.
