Project Homecoming, ECD Auto Design's Electric Defender Hits Florida Roads

KISSIMMEE, Fla., May 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ECD Auto Design, is thrilled to announce its most recent project completion of a stunning bespoke electric classic Land Rover Defender 110. This unique vehicle merges timeless design with modern technology, offering unparalleled performance and comfort. High-resolution images and video are HERE.

Project Homecoming takes green to all new heights. Not only is this iconic classic Defender covered in a beautiful Land Rover Grasmere Green coat, but it is also green under the hood, powered by ECD’s second generation direct drive electric powertrain. ECD’s second generation EV has the versatility of three driving modes including eco, normal and sport as well as 2WD and 4WD selection. Built in conveniences such as fast charging and hill decent assist provide for superior user experience by reducing wait time between charges, while the regenerative braking system assists braking without the driver having to put pressure on the brake pedal.

Project Homecoming retains its rugged charm while embracing modern enhancements. The heritage-style grill, body-colored accents, and black 18” Sawtooth wheels with BF Goodrich All Terrain tires amplify its classic off-road appeal.

Inside, luxury abounds with Puma Classic front seats, middle row seats, and seats in the load area, all wrapped in Garrett Caressa Coffee leather with elegant white diamond stitching. The sophisticated leather-wrapped Puma dash, custom MOMO Prototipo steering wheel, and a full custom gauge set designed for the specific driver to ensure a premium driving experience. Modern conveniences such as a touchscreen infotainment system, JL Audio sound system, and a suite of advanced features including a digital rear view mirror and blind spot assistant ensure that every journey is both comfortable and connected.

The custom electric ECD Land Rover Defender 110 will see thrilling adventures from both its new home in Florida and its second home in Rhode Island. In Florida, it will be driving from the sunny beaches through the tough Everglades where its abilities can be highlighted thanks to its off-road capabilities and electric powertrain. In Rhode Island, it will be cruising through the coast, towns, and country. The ECD Air Ride suspension and BF Goodrich All-Terrain tires will provide a comfortable driving experience in whatever terrain Project Homecoming encounters.
