KISSIMMEE, Fla., Oct. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ECD Automotive Design, Inc. (NASDAQ: ECDA) (“ECD” or the “Company”), 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 its entry into the Porsche 911 restoration and customization market through its Boutique Division. The debut vehicle, Project Gravette, is a fully bespoke Porsche 993 restored through the immersive, one-of-one luxury design experience that defines every ECD build.
Driven by strong demand from ECD’s loyal customer base, the Company is expanding into the Porsche segment, offering clients a faster build time relative to incumbent providers of this service. Management views the Porsche 911 as one of the largest and most lucrative markets within the broader restomod industry. The move builds directly on the success of ECD’s Mustang program, which was launched earlier this year and has already secured multiple commissions and national recognition.
“The launch of Project Gravette, our first Porsche 911 customization, marks another milestone in ECD’s journey to redefine the restomod industry,” said Scott Wallace, CEO and Co-Founder of ECD. “Vintage 911’s are among the most iconic and desired models for collectors and enthusiasts, and a perfect fit for ECD’s best-in-class Boutique production focused on low volume, high touch vehicles that command premium prices. As with all ECD builds, Gravette is not just a restoration, but a one-of-one design experience blending heritage performance with modern refinement. Expanding into Porsche restomods allows us to further elevate our average selling price, drive efficiencies in our factory, and extend the ECD experience to an even broader collector base.”
