Incredible Handcrafted Details and Expert Engineering Showcase the Company’s First Porsche Build with the Celebrated Nineties Era Legend Named Project Gravette KISSIMMEE, Fla., Oct. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ECD Automotive Design, the world’s largest Land Rover and Jaguar restoration company known for its custom luxury builds, including bespoke Defenders, Range Rovers, Jaguar E-Types, Ford Mustangs and Toyota FJs, today announced the launch of its latest bespoke build and first Porsche with Project Gravette - a striking innovation of the venerated nineties era Porsche 911 (993). The spectacular new coupe thoughtfully blends timeless Porsche heritage with the modern performance, technology, and hallmark craftsmanship that ECD Automotive Design has become synonymous in the realm of luxury custom cars of all kinds. Images of Project GravetteVideo of Project Gravette “Project Gravette is a true celebration of Porsche’s golden era, elevated through the lens of modern performance and luxury,” said Elliot Humble, CTO of ECD Automotive Design. “We wanted to create a very special car that honors the DNA of the 993 while imbuing the build with the precision engineering and bespoke details that define all our work. Gravette is a build that perfectly captures the nostalgia and glories of the 993’s past with the innovation and craftsmanship that ECD clients want in their cars.” At the heart of Project Gravette is a meticulously engineered air cooled Porsche turbocharged M64 engine, delivering an estimated 500 horsepower. Paired with a heavily upgraded 6-speed manual transmission and sport exhaust system, the powertrain ensures that the bespoke crafted 993 not only looks the part, but also delivers incredibly powerful performance. Finished in a sleek Icy White gloss exterior with Agate Gray metallic accents, Project Gravette projects a staid, commanding presence outfitted with custom decals, a strong wide-body stance, and a bespoke rear wing. Sitting on 18-inch RS-style wheels wrapped in Michelin performance tires and paired with Brembo brakes and Bilstein sport suspension, the 993 custom is engineered for a high-powered drive that remains refined. Modern LED headlights and taillights enhance visibility while subtly updating the classic silhouette with contemporary precision. Inside, meticulously realized details abound throughout to allure drivers. The beautiful cockpit features Recaro Cross Sportster CS front seats wrapped in premium Hydes black leather alongside custom weave and metal grommet inserts, complemented by matching OEM-style rear seats. The seat backs, interior console, and trim pieces are painted in Agate Gray for a cohesive interior that plays well with the 993 exterior. A striking black suede headliner, billet silver hardware, and OEM-inspired white gauges with an original shifter help deliver an air of modern operating within the crisp classic sensibility of Porsche. Beautiful tactile finishes are found throughout the Gravette interior such as a silver billet e-brake handle, perforated pedals, and an OEM four-spoke steering wheel. Custom black seatbelts finished with white edging further underscore ECD’s obsessive commitment to craftsmanship at every touchpoint. State of the art technology integrates with modern-day comfort to make sure ECD clients can enjoy the best of the 993’s classic elements with no sacrifices. A floating touchscreen stereo powered by Focal premium audio, Bluetooth connectivity, a digital rearview mirror, heated seats, automatic headlights, and a full suite of power conveniences are available. Under the hood, a driver’s preferred 6-speed manual transmission for analog shifting, sport exhaust system, and finely tuned suspension ensure that the Project Gravette provides a thrilling on road experience. “Every component of this build, from the billet metal finishes to the custom leatherwork was designed to enhance the driving experience of this 993. Project Gravette is a special build for us in that the car is our very first ECD Porsche. After receiving so many requests from our clients to work on their Porsches, we finally acquiesced and could not be more pleased delivering Gravette,” continues Humble. “This is a driver’s car at its core, but it’s also a deeply personal piece of art that reflects the passion of our client. This vehicle presented the perfect canvas for ECD Automotive Design’s first refined vintage Porsche.” Expertly crafted in South Florida, Project Gravette’s eye-catching Icy White gloss colorway immediately makes its presence known on the open road, carving through Miami’s vibrant cityscapes or along sun-soaked coastlines. Every build detail exudes classic Porsche while delivering top-level comfort. ECD once again successfully pushes the boundaries of handcrafted automotive design while redefining an icon, delivering a one-of-one creation that transforms what it means to own a truly custom Porsche 911.
