The vehicle itself, named Civilian Carrier, is a bit longer than the usual Defender and it is packed with tons of exclusive features. First of all, it is finished in Volcanic Rock color scheme and showcases new front wings, vents and a revised X-Lander front grille.

At the rear we see fresh new B pillars, LED headlights and all of this topped with a panoramic roof. Cool. And as part of the project, there is added a third axle. In fact, this is the most notable and cooled feature in the project. The additional axle contributes to this super-aggressive appearance and power. Incredible!

As it is apparent, this machine is especially built for rough off-road terrain: this is not only notable by the exterior looks. It is also hidden within the drivetrain system. The Civilian Carrier features hi-lo ratio drive system with locking differentials, rugged heavy duty chassis (of course), and fine-tuned braking system.

First presented as “Wide Track S\”, the vehicle has caught everyone’s attention back in the day and also today.

Also known as the “Black Hawk” edition, the Jeep Wrangler was personally designed by Afzal Kahn himself and his fellow team of designers and engineers. Using original parts and components from Jeep, the tuning studio has managed to deliver us innovative design, sexy looks and military-influenced endurance and appearance.

Further changes include crosshair exhaust system, Iron Man bonnet and exclusive 1941 DC Black Alloy Wheels 7.5 x 17 wheels. Cool.

2018 Pace Car by Kahn Design: The One We Wanted To See

2018 Kahn Design Land Rover Range Rover Sport Autobiography Dynamic Pace Car Project Kahn proudly reveals its latest revised vehicle: Black over Red Range Rover Sport Autobiography Dynamic Pace car. Personally designed by Afzal Kahn, the fashionable SUV catches the eye with tons of fresh new features.

The first thing that makes this model stand out from the original design is the extension on the front and rear wheel aches. This approach not only gives the Range Rover more muscular and confident stance, but also contributes to more road stability and driving comfort. Also, themodel features new bumper, floating front grille with neat 3D mesh inserts and its original fog lights.

The inside has also received some attention. The whole cabin is dominated by black quilted and perforated Herringbone leather. In fact, all door tops, armrests, central console, instrument panel and the steering wheel have been re-trimmed to match each other, while the stainless steel inserts and aluminum pedals add to that aggressive and muscular feeling.

When you think about it, this project has managed to maintain all the cool features of the original Range Rover and just add a kick to its already astonishing presence. And given that Kahn designers have tweaked the components, it is of no doubt that everything is of high quality, premium feel and just on the right place.

A Pace Car by Kahn Design? Yes, Please!

2017 Kahn Design Land Rover Range Rover 4.4 SDV8 Vogue SE Pace Car And here we go again: Kahn Design team showcases one more gem: Range Rover 4.4 SDV8 Vogue SE Pace Car. The upgrade process was personally guided by Afzal Kahn himself and we must say that the final result is pretty astonishing! This vehicle is beautiful, elegant and is clearly a honorable member of the Kahn Design family.

Notable features

2017 Kahn Design Land Rover Range Rover 4.4 SDV8 Vogue SE Pace Car

What makes this project stand out from the crowd is the addition of a special Rolls Royce Black Kirsch over Madeira Red color. Furthermore, there are numerous carbon-fiber inserts that contribute to the overall muscular and sporty stance. In fact, we do like the bumpers: they are still incorporating the original fog lights, but Kahn Design team has tweaked them a bit and now they feature 3D mesh inserts and do look a bit wider, compared with the originals. There is also a new front grille with floating insert, extended boot lid spoiler and super cool wheels.

In fact, the exterior concept is heavily dependent on the wheels alone: these are super-stylish Diamond Cut on Shadow Chrome 10×23-inch forged RS650 wheels, wrapped by 305x30x230-inch tires. And they do make a huge difference. First of all, they look premium and of course, express neat hi-class styling the perfectly matches the overall premium expression of the Range Rover vehicle.

Interior styling

2017 Kahn Design Land Rover Range Rover 4.4 SDV8 Vogue SE Pace Car

As any other Kahn Design product, the Vogue SE Pace Car showcases a rather sophisticated and elegant cabin design. First of all, the door tops, door arm rests, central console, the instrumental binnacle and the steering wheel are covered in special upholstery with fresh color scheme. There are also stainless steel door sill plates, aluminum foot pedals and fresh new floor mats. Nice!

What we like the most about this project is that the design team did not try to change the authentic nature of the Range Rover. Just the opposite: Afzal Kahn and his fellow professionals have enhanced the beautiful character of the machine. And as always, they have made it in such a way that we doubt that there would be a single person who would not appreciate the fine styling language.

Available in three- and five-door body shapes, the vehicle features revised signature front and rear large wings, new vent and bolt apertures and sweet Tron Ring lightning: there are special LED diamond bright headlights installed. Sweet.

Exterior tuning

2017 Kahn Design Land Rover Range Rover 3.0 TDV6 Vogue - Huntsman Colours Edition

This lucky Range Rover was granted with new 600LE front and rear bumpers that not only contribute to an overall sexy and muscular expression, but also underline the original Range Rover design concept. We should say that Land Rover team knows how it’s done on the first place.

Further additions include a double-vented front grille, large 9.5×22-inch RS600 wheels and neat stainless steel quad cross-hair exhaust system with numerous aluminum inserts, exclusively created by Kahn design for this one project. Neat!

Overall, the exterior catches the eye with this all-black body finish. The metallic paint is not accented in any kind by any other colors or finishes, except the Silver Platinum wheels. Frankly said, we do like this straightforward one-tone body cover – it heavily contributes to the overall muscular and super-luxurious appearance. And the best part? Well, in our opinion, this is the fact that Kahn Design crew did not try to hide the original expression of the vehicle: every single original detail, curve and line is still present, just a bit enhanced.

Interior styling

Now we are talking! Usually Land Rover machines deliver hi-end cabin styling, but we must admit that Kahn Design have placed their trademark in this one in such a way that even the original design cannot match tuner’s incredible vision and performance.

There are numerous stainless steel inserts, incredible new seats, covered in black leather and showcasing unique trimming. The main thing that makes this cabin unique is that Kahn Design has removed everything that is needless. Driven by the motto “perfection is not achieved by having nothing more to add, but having nothing more to remove”, the team presents us clean, stylish and functional interior.

Needless to say, it is dominated by the color black and offers numerous exclusive goodies: aluminum pedals, numerous Kahn Design badges and a choice of individual painting for certain details. Neat!

What we see as a final product is a sweet M Class with boosted confidence, more eye-catching details and boosted levels of luxury. So, let’s check it out!

Exterior styling at its best

2016 Kahn Design Mercedes-Benz ML

Vehicle’s visuals remain close to the original appearance, but at the same time engineers and stylists have geared some neat additions: aggressive front and rear wide wheel arches, reshaped front bumper assembly, integrated daytime running lights and a redesigned bootlid spoiler. And all this topped with crispy 22-inch Diamond Cut on Black alloys. Neat, right?

What I personally like about this one is that the design team managed to keep the true nature and beauty of the original Mercedes-Benz ML styling, but somehow boost its muscularity and confidence in slight and indirect way. It is like taking the essence of Mercedes-Benz styling philosophy and add some muscles to it. And more confidence. And more beauty.

In fact, these tweaks are not about boosting vehicle’s performance rates and agility. It is all about style and character. And as we all can see, Kahn Design magicians have done some pretty good job.

Range Rover Sport 400 LE Luxury Edition by Kahn Design

Range Rover Sport 400 LE Luxury Edition by Kahn Design is a truly unique vehicle for two major reasons. The first one is that its exterior has nothing to do with how the stock one look and the second is that the interior has been entirely reupholstered. Although there aren’t any changes in the engine output, we find this car really captivating and wanted to share it with you!

Let’s see what the tuning experts at Kahn have one here:

Exterior

Regarding the exterior color, the first thing we see is the vibrant exterior color, called Volcanic Grey Satin. The next thing to spot is the contrasting Piano Black floating roof. In perfect harmony with the latter is the Black Label front grille with a 3-D floating mesh insert and the cool side vents on the new bumper.

KAHN’s badging also comes in black and it is positioned over the fenders and tailgate with black strip. In addition, 400-LE’s front bumper also inludes LED daytime running lights and unique centre piece.

What has happened at the rear? There is a twin single exit Crosshair exhaust system in polished aluminium, which protrudes from 400-LE bumper and carbon composite diffuser.

When it comes to wheels and tires, the production ones were substituted with in-house RS600 alloys of the size 9.5 x 22-inches and coupled with 285/35/22 tires. Behind the new wheels sit gold-painted brake callipers and this bi-color design approach has been applied inside.

Interior

Range Rover Sport 400 LE Luxury Edition by Kahn Design Interior

The cabin of this Range Rover is adorned with front and rear Herringbone Leather seats with gold stitching. The armrests also received Herringbone Leather and contrasting stitching. What is more, the driver will sit behind re-upholstered steering wheel hub, and will push machined aluminium foot pedals. Aluminium has been also used for the door entry sill plates.
