Jeep Black Hawk Edition is finally here! And it is as astonishing as it sounds!

2018 Chelsea Truck Company Jeep Wrangler Black Hawk Edition It was first displayed as a prototype two years ago at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, but as it seems, Chelsea Truck Company Jeep Wrangler Jet Black has finally made its global debut. 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.

2018 Chelsea Truck Company Jeep Wrangler Black Hawk Edition

The main idea of the project was to maintain these well-known Jeep features, but at the same time to deliver something fresh and new – of course, it was achieved and now the renewed vehicle demonstrates tons of already known and new features: there are new and widened wheel arches at the front and rear that are mated to a refreshed front bumper and new grille design. Further changes include crosshair exhaust system, Iron Man bonnet and exclusive 1941 DC Black Alloy Wheels 7.5 x 17 wheels. Cool.

The cabin has also undergone some hi-end styling surgery. First of all, there are fresh new quilted front and rear Matrix GTB seats, along with new dashboard, door cards, leather transmission tunnel, quilted roll bars and grab handles. Neat.

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.

Kahn Design continues to impress with of story of black! Check this beast out!

2017 Kahn Design Land Rover Range Rover 3.0 TDV6 Vogue - Huntsman Colours Edition Kahn Design team showcases its last project: a heavily revised Range Rover that has undergone some comprehensive and super high-quality tuning program. As you might have expected from Kahn Design team, this Santorini Black gem deserves applause. Here’s why!

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

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

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!

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.
