Outrageous opulence

There’s an undeniable menace to ECD Auto Design’s new Range Rover Classic ‘Project Alpha’. This isn’t a car you fill with beautiful women and take paddle boarding. Nope, this is more of a Guy Ritchie ,gangster’s bank heist getaway vehicle, and we love it. The two-tone exterior is an exercise in restraint, encompassing such subtle design changes as the revised front fascia and bold 16-inch wheels. And who’d have thought flat grey would work so well with the Range Rover’s brutalist lines? It’s under the bonnet where the real excitement hides, though — ECD has fitted a 6.2-litre Chevrolet V8 that develops 430hp. The ‘Project Alpha’ is outrageous opulence at its very best.
