Experience the Bold Elegance of Helderburg’s “Odin” D90 Soft Top Defender
Get ready to immerse yourself in the world of bespoke automotive craftsmanship with Helderburg’s latest creation, “Odin, the Lord of Frenzy.” This custom-built Land Rover Defender D90 is a stunning blend of artistry, engineering, and personal storytelling. In a new video, Paul and his trusty companion Lucy introduce us to this one-of-a-kind vehicle, showcasing its unique features and the passion behind its creation.
The Story Behind Odin
The name “Odin” is as distinctive as the Defender itself. Inspired by Norse mythology, Odin is the god of poetry, wisdom, and death—a fitting choice for a vehicle that exudes character and individuality. The name also reflects the enthusiasm of Eric, the client who commissioned the build, and his wife. Their excitement throughout the process earned them a place among Helderburg’s most passionate clients.
Eric’s family history and his past as a musician further deepened the connection to Norse mythology. This personal touch is a hallmark of Helderburg’s approach—every vehicle tells a story unique to its owner.
Exterior: A Custom Masterpiece
Odin’s exterior design is nothing short of breathtaking. The custom pastel green paint with metallic undertones and pearlescence is unlike any standard Land Rover color. It shimmers in sunlight while offering a subtle elegance in the shade. This one-of-one color choice underscores Helderburg’s commitment to individuality.
Other standout exterior features include:
- Handmade Wheel Arches with a polished black rubber seal.
- Custom Bead-Locker Wheels that provide an aggressive stance without wheel spacers.
- Cooper STT Pro Tires, perfect for both highway cruising and off-road adventures.
- Billet Aluminum Accents, replacing plastic components for durability and luxury.
- NAS-Style Rear Bumper with integrated backup camera functionality.
Every detail contributes to a cohesive design that avoids the “aftermarket patchwork” look. From red tow hooks to broken-beam halo headlights, Odin’s exterior is a testament to meticulous planning and execution.
Performance: Power Meets Precision
Underneath its stunning exterior lies a performance-tuned turbo diesel engine. Helderburg has equipped Odin with:
- A VNT turbo for enhanced responsiveness.
- A custom cylinder head, injection pump, larger intercooler, and 3-inch stainless steel exhaust for optimal performance.
- Heavy-duty suspension components like radius arms, prop shafts, and upgraded differentials.
These upgrades ensure that Odin isn’t just about looks—it’s built to perform. Whether cruising at 70–75 mph on highways or tackling rugged terrain, this Defender delivers an exceptional driving experience.
Interior: Tailored Luxury
Step inside Odin, and you’ll find a bespoke interior designed specifically for Eric and his wife:
- Two-Tone Leather Seats with diamond stitching for added elegance.
- Mahogany Steering Wheel that matches the wood flooring in the cargo area.
- Billet Aluminum Switches, eliminating plastic for a premium feel.
- 11.1-Inch Touchscreen Display paired with an amplifier and subwoofer for an immersive audio experience.
- Alcantara-Wrapped Sun Visors for added sophistication.
The rear seating features nostalgic center-facing benches, maximizing space while maintaining comfort and style.
