KISSIMMEE, Fla., Feb. 6, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- ECD Auto Design (NASDAQ: ECDA), the world's largest
Land Rover and Jaguar restoration company known for its custom
luxury builds, including bespoke Defenders, Range Rovers and
E-Types, today reveals Project GONNAHAPPEN. The project, a new
one-of-a-kind, beautifully outfitted Defender 110, is ready for its
new home at its Texas
ranch.
The new Defender 110, was built with the intention to appear as
a classic on the exterior, keeping the Land Rover Grasmere Green
Full gloss paint, with Chawton White roof and boasting a full set
of silver checkers to accent, while incorporating many modern
comfort and performance upgrades throughout.
Sitting underneath the hood of Project GONNAHAPPEN is a
brand-new GM 430 horsepower 6.2L LS3 V8 engine, coupled with a
6-speed automatic transmission. The Defender 110 rides on beautiful
16-inch Silver Deep Dish wheels with mounted BF Goodrich all
terrain tires making for versatile driving conditions at the whim
of the driver. The ECD air ride suspension will provide a smooth
ride for Texas city driving or at
the family ranch.
Stepping inside the vehicle, the design is stunning. The
interior plays homage to the Porsche 911 Heritage edition with a
similar interior color palette. Project GONNAHAPPEN is a very
stylish vehicle with Porsche Cognac leather interior throughout and
striking black and white houndstooth seat inserts. The cargo area
is gorgeously appointed with teakwood flooring, rounding out an
incredibly tasteful and elegant interior.
"Every project here at ECD is completely bespoke and we not only
take great pride in the end product but are honored to work with
our clients and provide an unforgettable journey through the entire
process", said Scott Wallace, CEO of
ECD Auto Design. "Each process begins by truly understanding the
customer through detailed profiling and a design process that
allows them to literally create a vehicle that will always be
one-of-a-kind and they own that design".
While Project GONNAHAPPEN appears to roll away from its original
showroom with its classic looking exterior, it is packed with
modern amenities including the latest in comfort and safety
including a full external roll cage, air suspension, powerful GM
LC3 6.2L V8 engine, touchscreen stereo, JL audio speakers and
subwoofers, CarPlay, SiriusXM, Bluetooth, blind spot assistant,
digital rear view mirror and a backup camera and sensor, among
others.
Wallace continued "Our clients come in many times with very
specific visions and it is our job to make their vision a reality.
Our designers, manufacturing team, and supply chain team and
network make it possible to create that one-of-a-kind dream car for
our client and make it an enjoyable experience from start to
delivery and beyond".
