In the realm of off-road mastery, East Coast Defender has once again showcased its prowess, this time transforming an old Land Rover Defender D110 into a formidable beast. This potent off-roader has undergone a series of signature upgrades by East Coast Defender, elevating its performance and aesthetic appeal across the exterior, cockpit, chassis, and engine.
The exterior modifications are instantly noticeable, featuring a distinctive roof rack with a rear ladder, rugged steel bumpers, and practical side steps. Riding on 16-inch Wolf wheels adorned with BFGoodrich all-terrain tires, the vehicle achieves an enhanced height through an adjustable air suspension. Modern brakes and comprehensive underbody protection ensure durability and reliability, making this machine a versatile companion for off-road adventures.
The revamped cockpit reflects a blend of comfort and modernity. A Puma-style dashboard, a new steering wheel, redesigned gauges, and an advanced infotainment system take center stage. The infotainment setup includes a user-friendly touchscreen display, seamless smartphone integration, and Bluetooth connectivity. The interior radiates sophistication with light brown leather upholstery adorning the door cards, steering wheel, dashboard panel, center console, and individual bucket seats for both the front and second rows.
Noteworthy is the ingenious seating arrangement, featuring four inward-facing jump seats in the rear, allowing the vehicle to comfortably accommodate up to eight occupants. The classic Land Rover Defender, now enhanced in looks and off-road capabilities, caters to both style and practicality, ensuring a luxurious journey even in challenging terrains.
Under the hood lies a formidable transformation, bidding farewell to the original engine in favor of a GM-made LT1 sourced from a Chevy Corvette. While specific technical details remain undisclosed, the C7 generation 6.2-liter engine typically delivers over 450 horsepower, providing ample power to conquer steep inclines and challenging landscapes.
Such meticulous builds often come with a premium price tag, frequently exceeding $100,000 and, in some cases, surpassing $200,000. While the exact value of this pristine white model remains undisclosed, it’s essential to note that a brand-new Land Rover Defender from the latest generation starts at $56,400 for the three-door 90 S in the United States. The Defender lineup extends to five-door 110 and extended 130 body styles, with select trims offering a V8 engine for those seeking a blend of luxury and off-road capability.
