Power Meets Style Under the Hood
The heart of Project Pearl is a formidable GM LT1 V8 engine capable of producing an impressive 455 horsepower.

Experience the thrill of driving as the vehicle's Alcon high-performance brakes and signature air suspension work harmoniously to ensure every journey is both exhilarating and controlled.
Advanced Features for a Modern Driving Experience

The interior offers heated seats, a digital rearview mirror, and blind-spot assistance, ensuring that this custom Defender 110 is as functional as it is stunning. Navigating through busy city streets or winding rural roads becomes a pleasure with these features at hand.
Exquisite Interior Design: A Blend of Luxury and Heritage
Step inside Project Pearl, and you will find a cabin that redefines luxury. Wrapped in Porsche Nappa Cream leather and accented with hydro-dipped orange wood grain finishes, the interior exudes sophistication and comfort. The highlights of the cabin include custom wood-trimmed consoles that resemble high-end furniture craftsmanship rather than traditional automotive interiors. Moreover, expansive panoramic twin moon roofs invite natural light, enhancing the ambiance and making every journey feel limitless.
Thoughtful Craftsmanship and Details

He explains how the team carefully interprets each client’s unique vision, transforming it into a tangible reality. This dedication to detail is seen through every stitch of the German square weave carpet and the perfect satin finish on wood grain accents, ensuring that no aspect of the design is overlooked.
Designed for the Discerning Owner
While Project Pearl is a visual stunner, it is also designed to meet the diverse needs of its owners. The vehicle features 20-inch Kahn Retro Mondial wheels, custom silver metal hardware, and even a rear swing-out spare carrier, making it suitable for everything from urban commuting to weekend adventures.
