ECD Auto Design (ECD), the world’s largest Land Rover restoration company known for its custom luxury builds, including bespoke Defenders, Range Rovers and E-Types, today reveals two unique vehicles that showcase the strength of the EV2 drivetrain system. The powerful duo, Project El Padre and Project Narragansett Commission, exude charm with their bright blue exteriors. Color aside, the projects differ drastically in aesthetics. Project El Padre features a sleek, sharp and boxy look while Project Narragansett Commission channels fluidity and tranquility. With these outward differences, the two projects highlight the range of ECD’s EV drivetrain.
“The compatibility to a diverse range of vehicles is what makes an EV drivetrain so unique. Both vehicles, designed to fulfill the individual needs of two different clients, have an EV drivetrain. At ECD, we are dedicated to creating a seamless customization process for our clients that results in their dream vehicle fit for their personal lifestyle, including using our EV drivetrain,” said Scott Wallace, CEO and co-founder of ECD.
Project El Padre features a Land Rover Byron Blue body exterior to create a classic, simplistic look that is picturesque against the lush environment. While remaining true to its British off-roading heritage, the Land Rover Defender 110 includes a six-point roll cage, custom black steering guard, and NAS hitch receiver designed for modern-day terrain including dirt road trails along the mountains. The spacious interior of the Defender further embodies the classic look with its nutmeg brown leather seats stitched with a customized horizontal pattern. Accompanying the driver at the front of the vehicle, a NRG Innovations wooden steering wheel brings the design together, complimenting the color scheme throughout. With five USB ports strategically placed throughout the car, all eight passengers have seamless access to charge up for the exciting journey ahead. The touchscreen stereo, CarPlay and Bluetooth guarantee it will be an entertaining excursion no matter the distance.
