The news you have probably not heard yet is that Kahn Design is going to display a lot of special models at the Geneva Motor Show this year. If you are going to visit it, be prepared to see some old good cars they have made throughout the year and exciting new debuts. One thing is sure, Afzal Kahn’s finest vehicles will be shown there.
We have just received a confirmation letter, stating that the visitors of the event in Geneva will see the official launch of the Vengeance project, the rather eccentric Defender 110 6×6 Double Cab Pick Up, and the Chelsea Truck Company Wide Track S.
Vengeance
Geneva is the place where Aston Martin DB9 based model will celebrate its official launch. The wide body two door coupe has a muscular and aggressive design, featuring aggressive front grille, new hood and front fenders. Widened rear wings, stainless steel roof halo and window trim are accompanied by diminished rear windows.

In addition, this design treasure will be also running on huge stainless steel 20-inch front wheels fitted and 21-inch rear wheels. The Vengeance will have a limited production run and will be entirely hand built by Kahn’s experts. We hope to get more details as the Geneva Motor Show approaches.
Defender 110 6×6 Double Cab Pick Up
Kahn’s Defender 110 6×6 Defender Double Cab Pickup will also be on display. The vehicle looks gorgeous, kind of extravagant, but this is probably because it runs on six wheels! This means that model had to be transformed by means of extension and widening.
The exterior of the Defender also received many tweaks, but we hope to get the exact details right before the show. Ok, let’s say that there will be new front bumper, X-Lander grille and the exuberance of Kahn badging. Modifications to the interior are also planned.
Chelsea Truck Company Wide Track S
This vehicle will be making the biggest surprise at the show. It will be exhibited alongside the Project Kahn Range Rover Vogue and the Imperial Blue Range Rover Sport editions. We haven’t seen it so far, except for a recently released sketch drawing.
The new styling package add Kahn’s sense of aggressive look, including prominent changes to the front grille and bumper, wider wheel arches filled with huge rubbers, and probably a new vented aluminum bonnet. The styling package will bring the Jeep closer in appearance to company’s successful Land Rover Defender Wide Track. And this is also confirmed through its name.
If all this is of interest to you then you should go visit the Geneva Motor Show in the beginning of March. You can join Kahn Design at stand Nr. 6338. And in the meanwhile we will keep you updated.

Here is the WIMMER KTM X-Bow GT. Regardless of its form, drop top or real Gran Turismo, the car is an emanation of a radical design. R and RR are the model series most famous in the X-Bow trim.

On the contrary, the GT variant of the X-Bow has a windshield made of heatable laminated safety glass. The side windows of the car are also the doors of the KTM X-Bow GT in the same time.
