The exterior of Project Invictus is finished in Nara Bronze gloss paint and is complimented by satin black accents.
Top-spec features include camping, off-road, and recovery gear because when your journey takes you down unknown paths, it’s best to be prepared. Equipment includes a Cascadia Vehicle Tents (CVT) rooftop tent with a shower arm, ARB Tred Pro recovery boards, 20-liter Frontrunner steel jerrycans for water, Warn Industries VR12-S winch with 50-foot Black Spydura synthetic winch wire, a Midlands CB radio, portable solar power units, and a clinometer.
Project Invictus includes modern comforts ideal for any journey. This custom Defender 110 produces 430-horsepower and is paired to a 5-speed manual transmission and a Borla Performance exhaust system, offering plenty of power and reliability. Its duotone interior features classic seats upholstered in premium Italian leathers.
