Project Gray Goose V8 Land Rover Defender with 430 PS

Which vehicle comes to mind first when you think of an 6.2L-V8 with 430 PS? A Chevrolet Corvette? Maybe a Camaro? Or maybe some performance sedan from Cadillac? How about one Land Rover Defender!? Such is the team of ECD Automotive Design and equipped with a big V8 under the project name "Gray Goose". The basis is the short Defender 90 variant which got a 8-speed automatic for the V6. Ideal conditions to annoy many a BMW 330 or Porsche Boxster. And like all of the tuner's vehicles, this one is completely restored and individual. There is a traditional mesh grille at the front and a subtle slimline bumper.

Kahn Design 1983 alloy wheels

In addition a hand-made roll cage around the canopy and to a high-gloss paint in Bonatti Gray Metallic, As with the Project Azure If you set this vehicle on a 18 inch 1983 wheelset from the tuner Kahn design and equip it with coarse-grained BF Goodrich All-Terrain T / A tires. And of course, a completely individual interior should not be missing here either. In front there are sporty Puma leather seats and in the second row one also sits on individual leather seats. The entire cabin is handmade and especially the small details like the white stitching on the seats or on the dashboard and the Momo Prototipo leather steering wheel make this interior so spectacular.

Interior with tons of leather and technology

Add to that a lot of technology like a Sony infotainment system with Sirius XM, many speakers and a subwoofer from JL Audio and small details like a reversing camera, a wireless charging cradle for mobile phones or even various USB ports. ECD produces good 40 vehicles every year and this one too has become an absolute one-off.
