2012 Kahn Jeep Wrangler Military Edition Restoration Project

2012 Kahn Jeep Wrangler Military Edition Restoration Project is the latest work of the talented UK based Kahn tuning team. Although the vehicle was already in exploitation for more than 70 000 miles, Afzal Kahn took the challenge to transform it. The result is as expected – outstanding!

The overall result is that this unique military grey metallic vehicle can now proudly run through the streets of any big city, where it can show-off its splendid appeal.

For this amazing new look, the Jeep had to undergo several upgrades, which include: meshed front grill, gold finished calipers, quad exhaust system, rear wheel cover, smoked side lights and repeaters, petrol flat cap in billet mat black, mud flaps hardwearing, aluminum machined foot pedals, smoked side lights and repeaters, sat-navigation, reverse camera, blue tooth, dial fascia clocks and LED driving lights. In the end all is rounded up with the branded rear wheel cover.

Furthermore, the blank rear window sections and LED lights can be made from bullet-proof glass. This of course depends on the level of protection required. The interior of this tuned Wrangler is wrapped in red. In particular – red quilted leather seats, dial fascia clocks and more elements in the same color.

And as you can see, the last touch in this restoration project is the wheels, which namely are Kahn RS wheels in 9 x 20 in black. Their unique characteristic is that they have simple clean lines, soft organic surfaces on the edge of the spoke and a purposeful mechanical centre, thus giving the military vehicle more elegant outlook.

Kahn Teaser RS250 Range Rover Evoque

This is something new. Kahn Design releasing a teaser? Must be something big. In all honesty, it is big. A Range-Rover Evoque kind of big. It’s will be called the RS250 and all we have for now is this sketch. The release date is set for sometime in July this year.

As we have established, the base product is an Evoque. And that’s a hard piece of motoring to ruin. The sketch looks good but those LEDs on the side of the bumper simply seem too much. But hey, it’s a fashion statement so why not.

Rather surprisingly however, the overhaul will go beyond that. Yes, there will be an engine upgrade which is still kept in secret. Also, the whole program will be divided into two stages – 1 and 2.

Stage 1 will include a front bumper complete with fog lights and 3d mesh inserts (the upper grille will also be new with 3d mesh). Count the LED in as well. For the back a bumper is intended, that has diffuser which houses the tips of the stainless steel twin central crosshair exhaust system. A bootlid spoiler complements the whole look. The Evoque’s stance should be lower as well. And meaner with the 22” RS-XF alloy wheels. As a finishing touch there’s going to be a hood/roof stripe painted on.

Stage 2 will further add wide wheel arches (as if the Evoque lacks that), side skirts and a roof spoiler.

This being Khan Design, one can imagine that the whole program can be rather flexible – additional components for the exterior and the interior as well, will be available.

Furthermore, an additional twin Crosshair Exhaust System in Stainless Steel has been centered on a radical design. It captures and reflects an attraction to a Pluto-matic lifestyle.

On the other hand the interior of this tuned Evoque is no less exceptional and unique. In fact, this model has astonishing interior through which anyone can recognize high-quality of craftsmanship.

In short- the interior has been upgraded to a magnificent level with the help of: door panel tops in quilted and perforated leather with orange stitching interior; floor mats – black charcoal finish; piano black trim to gear surround; red rev counter; red speedo; black quilted and perforated leather with alcantara inserts and Vesuvius orange leather detailing.

Kahn Porsche Cayenne Wide Track

Introducing the latest product coming from Afzal Kahn – the Porsche Cayenne wide track edition. It’s called that way because of its…erm….width. It’s got some new body panels, exhaust pipes and some wheels.

First off we have these flaring front and rear wheel arches that have vents in them. LED lining for the front vents, a boot lid spoiler at the back, carbon fiber inserts on the front bumper and red brake calipers. For some extra flash, there’s an LED bed under the chassis that illuminates the road bellow.

The suspension hasn’t been left behind either – sports springs combined with 22” Kahn RS600 wheels achieve a meaner, leaner look for the Cayenne at the very least. As a rounding detail, a Kahn stainless steel quad exhaust system is added.

Inside a blend of quilted claret and perforated leather greets the passengers. The driver gazes at the speedometer and rev counter which are in contrasting red and cream and is engulfed by the Kahn style. As usual, choice is what makes the project so desirable. Everything can and will be custom made to fit the needs of picky customers.

This particular fashion statement is available for $123,805.

2012 Kahn Jeep Wrangler

The project named Kahn Jeep expands even further the renowned Wrangler. It embodies Afzal Kahn’s philosophy which is always to integrate together mechanical perfection and exterior beauty.

Now as a result of this philosophy, the British tuner is offering an outstanding Kahn Jeep. What was basically done on this Wrangler is to be completely transformed.

And with the exquisite abilities of Kahn we can expect nothing else but an excellent end product. The full conversion consists of restyled shape and thus unique new look.

It is equipped with the special Kahn RS wheels, along with bespoke perforated and quilted leather interiors.

What is featured here in this 2012 Kahn Jeep Wrangler is a meshed front grill, gold finished calipers, quad exhaust system, rear wheel cover, smoked side lights and repeaters, petrol flat cap in billet mat black, mud flaps hardwearing, aluminum machined foot pedals, smoked side lights and repeaters, sat-navigation, reverse camera, blue tooth, dial facia clocks and LED driving lights and to finish it all off, the compulsory branded rear wheel cover.

Furthermore, other cutting edge technologies can be included as an option: for instance, a blank rear window sections and LED lights can be made available in bullet-proof glass; or there is also available a superior type of glass, more advanced than the sort of glass which was used to protect world statesmen.

Let’s go back to the wheels, which are always something unique in Kahn’s design language. They sit perfectly, on any vehicle, conveying the essence of the vehicle’s identity. Moreover, they are created using state-of-the art manufacturing and materials technology. The so called Kahn RS wheels are available in 9 x 20 in silver or black and fit all original centre caps.

They carry simple clean lines, soft organic surfaces on the edge of the spoke and a purposeful mechanical centre, thus giving the Wrangler more elegance and innovation.

Rolls Royce Ghost by A.Kahn Design

Here’s a Kahn Rolls Royce Ghost modified in ways you would least expect it to be. Yes, this particular one is all dressed up in a shadow line finish and riddled with subtle styling features that make a difference. But the most substantial change is underneath. And sadly, I’m not talking about the engine.

Let’s start from the top. The side indicators are now clear, the headlights have surrounds, the tail ones as well, the windows also…apparently and there’s some underfloor lighting. Four 9.5 x 22-inch Kahn Silver Mist Rolls Royce wheels complement the overall Kahn look. One still gets Rolls Royce’s original emblazoned center cap however. All and all, not ground braking work this, but enough to give the Ghost some character so that it fits the Kahn philosophy about not submitting to uniformity and striving for perfection.

The thing about this Rolls Royce is that it offers a great deal more security than the standard one. Although one can only guess by the appearance, all the glassware is bullet resistant. It’s an optional extra that comes with armor reinforced body shell underneath. We are not sure if that takes a toll on the Ghost’s 6.6L twin-turbocharged V12, 563 bhp engine and even if it does, a few extra kilos won’t maim it, right? In fact, at Kahn claim that the technology used in making all the bullet proof glasses results in an overall lighter construction. That’s a bold statement.

What goes inside the Ghost is up to the customer. For example, instead of reclining separate seats at the back, one can have a single sofa bench which greatly improves the interior atmosphere. When it comes to color – whatever fits best.

Afzal Kahn and Audi Q7

Afzal Kahn has always maintained that combining technical perfection with aesthetic brilliance is his true calling. Recently, in the arsenal of his arguments, he has added yet another example – the Kahn Q7 wide track.

A voluminous amount of exterior parts have been added to form the vision of Afzal Kahn – the front fenders are now with huge vents complemented by flaring wheel arches on both ends. The front bumper is also new with, again, more vents on it and gunmetal gray detailing. Sill plates in stainless steel complete the sides while a distinctive rear wing juts out from the top, back end. Things that feel a little bit excessive are the daytime running LED lights which sort of flood the headlights and also the liquid gold calipers. It’s a good thing that the provided Kahn RSX 22” wheels, with their complex spoke patterns, are not too reveling. As a rounding feature, Kahn design have also thrown in a stainless steel exhaust system with neat tailpipes hidden discreetly behind the new rear bumper.

The interior has also been restyled with strong contrasting accents – The dials the seats are wrapped in black quilted perforated nappa leather red stitched and with a red line across them. The rev counter and the speedo are both respectively colored in red and cream as if the dashboard is suffering from heterochromia. However, this is the place where usually the Kahn people offer unlimited versatility. A customer is free to choose from the widest spectrum of colors imaginable for both the exterior and interior.

Power will come from the standard Audi 3.0-liter TDI which sends 233 bhp trough an 8-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. The price for this model here is $96 995

2012 Kahn Range Rover Evoque Red

Here’s a presentation of the first Range Rover Evoque which was recently tuned by A.Kahn Design. Afzal Kahn received much appreciation for fashioning this unique vehicle. It is interesting fact that over 90 percent of Evoque customers are ‘newcomers’ to the product. More importantly they tend to be younger, living in the city and among them are far more women than man. Therefore this Evoque has already been snapped up by glamour model Katie Price’s protege – Amy Willerton.

To go further into details, the magic that has been put on the Evoque by Afzal Kahn’s, includes even excitement, which brings the vehicle to brand new level. First of all 2012 Kahn Range Rover Evoque Red features the red smooth contour, by which it is immediately recognizable. Moreover it offers astonishing styling package, which consists of a lowered suspension (35mm), yellow calipers, aluminum pedals, (full body color coding/detailing available), privacy glass, touch screen sat nav and adaptive front headlamps all draw you in like a guiding light. And what about the interior of the vehicle? Of course, it also has been touch with bespoke professionalism. However, A. Kahn offers the unique opportunity to every customer to express their own individuality. Afzal Kahn could, for example, design for you a vehicle with an exterior the color of your jeans and an interior with seats the same shade of lets say, a grey T-shirt. Furthermore Evoque the unique unique RS600 wheels, which are available in 20” 21” 22” size. Nonetheless, additional wheels are also available.

This brilliantly tuned Range Rover Evoque, is the perfect example of the philosophy of A.Kahn Design – to bring together the artistic innovation and state-of-the art manufacturing and materials technology. At last to be emphasized is that the tuning company is all about creating something unmatchable then before by refining and enhancing every aspect of the vehicle.

Afzal Kahn’s creation – the Wrangler Jeep Military edition

Fed up with the monotony of ordinary life? Unwilling to subdue to the general norms? Well, Afzal Kahn is a leading British designer and recently he has released a masterpiece which might interest you – a Wrangler Jeep Military edition. Being true to his tradition, Afzal has tried to blend mechanical perfection and aesthetic brilliance.

The end result is a lush, gray military beast which will gather attention wherever it goes. As you can see it does look like something taken out from a Terminator movie. Traces of Kahn‘s touch can be seen all around. The brake calipers for example are gold plated while the petrol flat cap is in billet mat black. The number of the exhaust pipes is now a “modest” four and so is the number of the massive mudflaps. Inside the pedals are made from aluminum, there is a sat-navigation and a reverse-view camera. The dashboard resembles a cluster of elegant clocks. Non-surprising additions are the LED driving lights at the front and the branded spare-wheel cover at the back.

If customers feel the need for greater security, the blank rear window sections and LED lights can be made out of bullet-proof glass. And if that is not satisfying enough there’s a higher grade of bullet-proof material that cannot even be found on cars of politicians and other important people.

The interior upholstery is also custom made. What we have here are red quilted leather seats but in general options are limitless – from the darkest of colors to the most extravagant tones, Afzal Kahn does it all.

To complement the flamboyant look, the Wrangler utilizes specially designed Kahn RS wheels. Made using the most up-to-date technology, forged by modern composites, these 20 inch alloys come in black or silver and fit all original center caps. With their fine lines and purposeful design those wheels radiate a sense of style matched by no other.

You can have this mechanical piece of art for the sum of 35,875.00 GBP with either diesel or petrol under the hood and both hand drives as well.
