ECD Automotive Design introduces Project Daybreak, a 1995 Land Rover Defender 110 reimagined for modern exploration. Finished in Olive Yellow Green with a Cornish Cream roof, it blends classic heritage with contemporary capability.
Design & Exterior Features
The exterior combines rugged charm and precise detailing. Heritage-style grille, Zermatt Silver accents, fold-down steps, and LED roofline work lights create a commanding presence.
Wheels & Tires
Project Daybreak rides on 18-inch Cornish Cream Sawtooth wheels wrapped in BFG All-Terrain tires. Heavy-duty stock axles ensure dependable off-road performance.
Power & Performance
Under the hood, a 430-horsepower LS3 V8 pairs with a 6-speed automatic transmission for responsive, confident driving. ECD Air Ride suspension delivers a smooth ride across all terrain.
Brakes & Exhaust
Disc brakes with silver calipers provide precise stopping power. Stainless-steel exhaust produces a rich, unmistakable sound on every journey.
Interior & Comfort
The cabin merges heritage styling with modern technology. RECARO Orthoped front seats in chocolate brown leather complement Exmoor and bench seating. Heated and cooled front seats and French Oak accents enhance comfort.
Technology & Convenience
Features include a touchscreen stereo with wireless CarPlay, Pioneer audio system with active subwoofer, 360-degree cameras, digital rearview mirror, remote start, and automatic headlights.
