Main beach sophisticated and refined defender custom build in front of a beach house

The most sophisticated Defender we have ever build: Main Beach

There are cars… and then there is Main Beach, our most sophisticated Defender build. Where most of our ultra-bespoke creations fuse raw power with modern luxury, this Defender 110 elevates the concept to a new level: this embodiment of pure elegance and sophisticated style is now cruising the shores where it belongs.

Meet Main Beach, our most sophisticated Defender

Inspired by the timeless atmosphere of the Hamptons, we designed a Defender that might very well be the most elegant and refinde we have ever created. No bold contrasts, but a harmonious balance of soft, neutral tones. With an exterior in Alaska White, paired with a warm sand beige interior, it feels like a tastefully furnished coastal retreat

Step inside and you’re transported to an exclusive Hamptons residence. The specially designed flooring, crafted with wider teak wood planks and refined caulking seams, instantly creates a sense of calm and authenticity. This natural wood continues seamlessly into the teak side steps, the teak grab handles, and even the handbrake. All details,  combined with the handstitched upholstery, bring a serene, organic flow to the interior.

The design philosophy was kept clean and timeless. The main focus and personal wish of the customer was elegant simplicity. So seatbelts in matching interior color blend, while window trims and coverings in Alcantara complete a sophisticated mix of materials: leather, wood, and suede-like softness. As a final touch, we integrated a bespoke Main beach clock into the custom designes dashboard.

Bespoke Innovations

Main Beach is full of in-house developed innovations. The custom sliding roof creates a light, open-air feeling. The soft top was crafted in a tailor-made sand shade, with even the interior framework painted to perfectly match the tone.

The wheels tell their own story: 20-inch rims, inspired by the Panterra Lion design, but reimagined for a cleaner, more refined aesthetic. Even the license plate lighting was custom-built in the car’s body colors. And then there are our one-off hinge designs, balancing technical perfection with aesthetic clarity.

Subtle elegance, brutal power

Beneath its elegant exterior lies untamed and roaring performance. This Defender 110 is powered by a Corvette LT1 V8 engine, delivering 525 horsepower, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. It’s the ultimate balance of sophistication and strength – a grand tourer disguised in off-road form.

What makes Main Beach truly unique is that it isn’t just a vehicle – it’s a reflection of its owner’s vision. Every detail is the outcome of a deeply personal design process, where we work hand-in-hand with our clients to create something utterly bespoke.
