Kahn and Chelsea Truck Company Tease Future Wrangler Project

Kahn Jeep Wrangler Chelsea Wide Track Sketch Kahn and Chelsea Truck Company are going to release a special edition of the Jeep Wrangler. Since they have released a sketch to tease the forthcoming project, we decided to see how can we ‘read’ what we see? So in other words here is what you can expect from the future Wrangler project.

The new styling package for Jeep’s most famous model will definitely add the sense of aggressive look. Prominent changes to the front grille and bumper are also obvious. It also seems that the vehicle will feature wider wheel arches filled with huge rubbers. And can we say that there is a new vented aluminium bonnet? That’s for sure!

Furthermore, it is also visible that this styling package will bring the Jeep closer in appearance to company’s successful Land Rover Defender Wide Track. Both clearly share many similar design cues.

Kahn also revealed that the pack will be available for both 2 and 4 door models, and both petrol and diesel variants. Another special thing about it is that it will be complemented by the Chelsea Truck Company’s wheel design and bespoke interior styling.

To sum it up: from what we can see, the complete package will add wide front and rear wheel arches, vented bonnet in aluminium as well as redesigned front grille and bumper.

Tell us what you think about it!

Kahn Unveils Sunset Orange Jeep Wrangler Sahara

Every Friday I am used to receiving an e-mail from Kahn Design with its latest project. And since today is the day, let me introduce you to the Jeep Wrangler CJ300 by the Chelsea Truck Company (CTC). This one is so cute that I am sure you’ll love it as I did. The Wrangler is definitely my favorite from all Jeep models, and it seems like the one and only Afzal Kahn has the same feelings for it, too. So, let’s take a look at the newest addition in Chelsea Truck Company’s portfolio.

Exterior

Starting from the outside, the exterior of the Wrangler looks intriguing with its two-tone design scheme. The tuners have used Sunset Orange as paint, but have accentuated it with a contrasting Piano Black used for the door handles, fuel filler cap and mirrors.

At the front we see two smoked headlights flanked by a four-slot Chelsea Truck Company grille that features industrial mesh. We can’t miss the LED Diamond bright headlights and CTC’s spare wheel cover, which rounds out the exterior modifications.

Wheels & Tires

Complementing the Piano Black theme are the Satin Black 17-inch big Jeep 1941 wheels. They fit perfectly to vehicle’s exterior and are fitted with Copper Discoverer ST Maxx 285/70/17 all terrain tires. Commenting on the wheels, we can’t fail to see the new painted brake callipers with a set of mud flaps. There is also a new quad-cross-hair exhaust system.

Interior

For the cabin, Kahn Design has used quilted and perforated leather extensively. It has been matched with contrasting white stitching. The same material was used for the centre glove box and arm rests, while the steering wheel is absolutely new and now offers greater grip and feel for the driver.

At last, beneath the waistline we see stainless steel door entry sill plates and new floor mats.

Jeep to Introduce Seven Concepts at Easter Jeep Safari

The 49th Annual Easter Jeep Safari is going to start as usually in Moab, Utah, in the last Saturday of March and will continue till fifth of April. This is a grand event for Jeep and for this reason we expect to see there many new concept vehicles. So far so good, because this is exactly what will happen when the seven new concepts debut. Everything that we know so far is that they will be equipped with Jeep performance parts from Mopar.

Oh, and there are to new teasers showing just two of the concept debuting in Utah. These are the Jeep Chief and Jeep Wrangler Red Rock Responder and they pose some questions since there is literally no information disclosed.

As we look at the images, the first one, the Chief concept, appears to be somehow a vintage Wrangler with retro-styled taillights and appearance due to the side graphics (the teaser below). Will this be a new take on the popular Jeepster of the sixties and seventies?

On the other hand, the second one will undoubtedly feature truck bed and a decal. The question here is will it be a pickup concept?

And that’s it, there are no other words saying what to expect. So we will have to wait until next week for more data on the entire Easter Jeep Safari lineup. Hope to receive it prior 28th of March. Stay tuned!

Jeep Wrangler Sport Arrives with More Power

Known for their styling and performance improvements for US cars, the Munich region-based professionals at GeigerCars.de provide a Jeep Wrangler with some significant modifications. Like a supercharger upgrade that boosts the Jeep’s power for example.

Thanks to the GeigerCars.de supercharger, the Wrangler’s 3.6 liter V6 engine is now able to pump out a power output that is 80 HP and 70 Nm of torque more than before. Thus, the vehicle now has to tame 356 horses while giving 417 Nm of torque respectively.

Other components which are part of the conversion are: a cold air intake box, charge air inter-cooler and bespoke ECU remapping. Furthermore, power and throttle response are helped by GeigerCars.de four-outlet-pipe stainless steel sports exhaust. It reduces back-pressure and is able to offer more sporty and harmonious sound. If such sound could be described as harmonious… Maybe harmonious in a rougher way.

What is more, the off-road capability of this powerful automotive monster is improved by a riser kit that lifts the ground clearance by 2.5 inches and also raises the seating position. Looking tougher than ever, this Jeep Wrangler Sport benefits from 18-inch alloy wheels with 305/70 Mickey Thompson tires. The tuner also gives the Jeep five powerful LED E-marked street legal auxiliary lights, front bumper bull bar and strong metal front skid plate, protecting the front grille and the undercarriage when going through a difficult terrain, while the rear bumper gains a special carrier for the big spare wheel and a water tank.

Lastly, this vehicle comes with the factory automatic transmission, hardtop, leather upholstery, high-end audio system, and a kilometers speedometer.

The completed 2015 GeigerCars Jeep Wrangler Sport with all the components costs 64,200 euro. Yet, they can be ordered separately.

Sitting up front, the four-slot grille is Chelsea Truck Company-made and features an industrial mesh between two smoked headlamps.

Piano Black door mirrors, door handles and roof, 100mm tailpipes quad crosshair system and a Chelsea Truck Company spare wheel cover is what exaggerates this contrast even more.

The interior is hidden from prying eyes thanks to added privacy glass. Of course, there is much to be seen inside, since we are speaking about an A. Kahn Design tuning. The front with its heated front seats, the rear GTB sport seats centre glove box and the armrests have all been re-upholstered in black and red quilted/perforated leather.

There is also a new steering wheel, which now offers up greater grip and feel for the driver. Beneath the waistline sits stainless steel door entry sill plates and floor mats.

At last, the toughness is of this Jeep Wrangler model is emphasized by the 9 x 20 inch Jeep 1988 wheels in a Satin Black finish fitted with beefy 275/55/20 inch tyres. Behind those wheels sit Liquid Red brake callipers along with a new set of mud flaps.

Cool Jeep Wrangler Polar Special Edition Is All Hot News

Jeep-Wrangler-Polar-shadow Jeep-Wrangler-Polar-medium Today Jeep are starting up the “Master of Winter” promotional web campaign that is supposed to take you on a virtual adventure with lots of snow, snowboarding, and other fun things. We’re only interested in what’s being promoted here, thank you. It’s the Jeep Wrangler Polar special edition.

Europe is finally getting its fair share of snow, so what better time for the Wrangler Polar to gain some attention. Quite ironically, however, the base model for this ice-cold special edition is a Jeep Sahara. This one, though, is painted in icy blue and has a hood decal depicting mountain peaks, so you know it means business. Still not convinced? Check out the badges behind the fenders that read “Polar 78° S 106° E”. Type in these coordinates in your navigation system and you’ll find yourself at the exact point where the lowest temperature in the world was recorded at -89.2° C or -128.56° F (Vostok in Antarctica). Okay, so none of this make the Polar snow-capable, but it’s cool, right? It also has a new front grille with gloss black accents on the lamp throats and gloss black 18-inch wheels, a solid spare-tire cover, and a color-coordinated top with a deep-tint sunscreen glass.

It’s powered by a 2.8-liter turbo diesel engine mated to a 5-speed automatic gearbox. Total power output stands at 200 hp and 460 Nm of torque. It all goes through a Wrangler-signature Command-Trac NV241 part-time, two-speed transfer case so it is pretty off-roadish. The rear axle is equipped as standard with a Trac-Lok anti-spin differential.

Inside, you get a nice combo of black leather and white stitching and Polar logos embossed on the headrests (you even get two on the blueish instruments). Standard equipment includes climate control, a multi-media leather steering wheel, heated front seats, cruise control, a native UConnect infotainment and navigation system that uses a 6.5-inch touchscreen, a 40-gigabyte hard disk, USB and AUX ports and a DVD player.
