Under the hood lies a GM LT1 V8 engine pushing 455 horsepower, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and custom Lokar shifter. With Alcon high-performance brakes, ECD鈥檚 signature air suspension, and a sport dual exhaust system, Project Pearl delivers effortless power, ultra-smooth road handling, and a growl worthy of its stature.
But where Project Pearl truly shines is in its visual and tactile storytelling. From the fully body-colored roll cage, ladder, bumpers, and custom open front storage rack, to the French Oak wood inserts in the rear bumper step and cargo area, every inch of this build radiates sophistication. Bathed in natural light, Project Pearl鈥檚 panoramic twin moon roofs stretch wide above the cabin interior, turning every drive into an open-air escape. The front sunroof glides open to welcome in cool breezes, letting the scent of the road and the rhythm of the wind flow through. Whether cruising coastal highways or winding through the countryside, the glass expanse blurs the line between inside and out, making each journey feel boundless. Pearl鈥檚 cabin is luxury wrapped in Porsche Nappa Cream leather, custom wood-trimmed consoles, and hydro-dipped orange wood grain finishes that echo fine furniture craftsmanship more than traditional automotive design.
鈥�Project Pearl is a masterclass in legacy, performance, and individuality,鈥� said Elliot Humble, Co-Founder of ECD. 鈥淥ur process is built on understanding and translating our clients' distinct desires into tangible results. When coupled with the deep expertise and refined craftsmanship of our production team, the outcome is something truly special and personalized.鈥�
Designed for its owners who reside in Washington State, Project Pearl is a statement piece. From the 20-inch Kahn Retro Mondial wheels to the custom silver metal hardware, and the rear swing-out spare carrier, this D110 is ready to turn heads from city streets to coastal highways.
Project Pearl also integrates cutting-edge creature comforts, including wireless CarPlay, heated seats, Bluetooth audio, blind spot assistance, and a digital rearview mirror. It鈥檚 every bit a luxury daily driver, wrapped in the soul of a rugged icon.
As with every ECD build, Project Pearl is handcrafted, down to the last stitch of German square weave carpet and the satin finish on its wood grain accents.
