  • Kahn Releases First Official Photos of Vengeance Project

    Have you seen Kahn Vengeance Project? No, I don’t mean the sketches but the official first photos of the actual car. Well, if you haven’t you can do it by finding them in the gallery below (they are the last four images). The tuner has unveiled these pictures and nothing more.

    However, the last time the project was teased, it was unveiled that the vehicle will be built on aluminum wide body and that it will be a two-door DB9 Vantage coupe.

    As we know from the sketches the car will sport a redesigned and very aggressive front grille, new hood and front fenders. Take a look at the widened rear wings … and have you noticed the roof and the length of the car? The polished stainless steel roof halo and window trim are accompanied by diminished rear windows.

    Moreover, this design treasure will be running on 16 spoke 20-inch wheels at the front coupled with 225 tires and an 18 spoke 21-inch rear wheels mated with 335 tires. The wheels are made of stainless steel. They feature unique bi-color finish and impeccable multispoke design.

    No details or whatsoever were released about the engine, or precisely, about any changes made to the engine. So this means that the car will either get the V12 engine that generates 515 hp (379 kW) and 620 Nm (457 lb-ft) of torque, or something mightier.

    The Vengeance will have a limited production run this year and it will be entirely hand built by Kahn’s experts. We hope to get more details soon.

  • Kahn Shows Three Sketches of Vengeance Project

    Kahn’s Vengeance is here! At least in sketches. Yes, the tuning company has released the first three detailed drawings of its exciting upcoming car. As we told you last week, the ambitious project will be based on another British classic, just like the Flying Huntsman based Defender). It will feature tuner’s specific WB12 wide body and will be built in Coventry, UK.

    In addition, also confirmed today was the fact that the car will be a two-door coupe in “hammer formed aluminium”. My guess about the marque was completely right – it will be an Aston Martin, however – not a Vantage, but a DB9.

    Yes, the coachbuilt car will use as a basis DB9’s chassis. The future wide body two-door coupe will have a muscular stance and as we can see from the sketches – aggressive design.

    Design

    The specialists at Kahn always seek to push the boundaries of design. Project’s design is inspired by the 80s and 90s. This means that Vengeance follows the philosophy of volume and flowing curves over angular surfaces. As a result we will see a spectacular mix between old and new, between classic and contemporary design.

    The details here are of importance. First, take a look at the widened rear wings, that are highlighted by lines projected from the signature bonnet bulge. And have you noticed the roof and the length of the car?

    These visual characteristics are further emphasized by the striking front with this aggressive grille centerpiece. The polished stainless steel roof halo and window trim are accompanied by diminished rear windows.

    Furthermore, this design treasure will be running on 16 spoke 20-inch wheel at the front coupled with 225 tyres and an 18 spoke 21-inch rear wheels mated with 335 tyres. The wheels are retro-inspired and will also have a two-tone body colour with the diamond cut outer section.

    Production

    Since there is no information about the interior, the next important question is whether this car will see production. The answer is positive, and it will begin in 2015 with a limited run. What you should also know is that each vehicle will be hand built by Kahn’s team of experts and will carry an engraved plaque in the boot.
