On July 29, 2025, ECD Automotive Design, a leader in bespoke performance vehicles, launched its latest creation, Project Brownie. This reimagined Land Rover Station Wagon merges the rugged essence of classic vehicles with modern automotive technology, boasting a powerful 650 horsepower engine. Designed for both urban commuting and off-road adventures, Project Brownie promises to deliver a thrilling driving experience.
Transformation of a Classic Icon
Project Brownie is built around a hand-crafted 6.2L GM LT4 Supercharged V8 engine, offering exceptional performance that transforms the traditional Land Rover into a daily driver with the heart of a supercar. The vehicle is finished in a striking Nara Bronze Matte, highlighting its blend of timeless style and contemporary design. According to Scott Wallace, Co-Founder and CEO of ECD Automotive Design, “Project Brownie is the kind of build that represents the evolution of the Land Rover. It’s nostalgic, but not stuck in the past — modernized for everyday use and built to the absolute highest standard.”
The vehicle’s robust design includes a fully Raptor-lined chassis, ensuring durability in various driving conditions. The Borla Sport Dual Plus exhaust system allows drivers to control the sound of the engine, while the BFG All-Terrain tires and ECD Air Ride Suspension provide stability on both rugged trails and city streets.
Interior Features and Functionality
Inside, Project Brownie is equipped with Corbeau Trailcat seats wrapped in luxurious Spinneybeck leather, stitched with a distinctive nutmeg pattern. The vehicle’s 2+2+4 seat layout includes four inward-facing jump seats, making it practical for families while maintaining a sporty feel.
Modern technology enhances the driving experience with features such as remote start, blind spot assistance, and a digital rearview mirror. The 8-speed automatic transmission ensures smooth transitions between city driving and off-road excursions, complemented by a performance torque-biased limited-slip differential for optimal traction.
Project Brownie’s exterior details include 18-inch matte black Sawtooth wheels, an X-Lander grille, and a six-point external roll cage, emphasizing its capability and rugged charm. Additional features such as a panoramic rear quarter window and a JL Audio sound system create an immersive driving experience.
In summary, Project Brownie exemplifies ECD Automotive Design’s commitment to creating vehicles that combine luxury with robust performance. This Land Rover Station Wagon is not just a mode of transportation; it is a statement of style and capability for those who seek adventure without compromising on comfort.
