Land Rover Defender gets a Corvette engine and a minibar

E.C.D. Automotive Design has churned out yet another restomod based on the previous-gen Land Rover Defender.

Called Project Rowdy, the SUV comes powered by the 6.2-liter Chevrolet Corvette V8. This gives it 565 horsepower (421 kilowatts). The air ride suspension is of custom design, and the same applies to the 18-inch wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich All-Terrain tires. As usual, the tuner also adds an external roll cage for safety.

The cabin benefits from a leather makeover, new Recaro seats and a retro-style steering wheel. Opening the trunk reveals a glassware set.
