Kahn Reveals Stunning Firenze Red Range Rover Sport 400LE

Kahn Range Rover Sport 400LE front and side view Kahn Range Rover Sport 400LE immediately grabs the attention because of its unique exterior Firenze Red color. After this first impression, the viewer becomes even more attracted to the car, because he or she sees that it is like no other car they have seen before. The reason for this is the precise work and craftsmanship of the tuners responsible for this piece of art. They have equipped the ordinary Range Rover Sport with full exterior pack and have also entirely transformed the cabin. And this is how everything has happened.

Exterior

The capricious Firenze Red exterior shade is what demands a lot of attention when it comes to adding some extra elements. But being at the hands of this particular tuner, Kahn Design, the Range Rover Sport received the best possible conversion it ever could. Precisely, the 400-LE received new carbon fiber front and rear bumpers, a lot of carbon detailing and a contrasting Piano Black floating roof.

At the front, it is also clearly visible that the car has new grille. The old one was substituted with Black Label front grille with a 3D mesh floating insert. At its sides there are new integrated LED daytime running lights.

On the other side of the SUV is the classic twin cross-hair exhaust system, which is stylish enough because it comes in polished aluminium.

At last, rounding out the exterior modifications here are the new RS wheels, which come in the size of 9.5″ x 23″ at the front and rear. They feature a special brushed aluminium finish and are fitted with corresponding 305x30x23″ tires. Behind them, we see brake callipers in Liquid Gold.

Interior

The modifications inside are not that much when compared to the exterior ones, but the cabin was also thoroughly revised. Kahn tuners re-upholstered the front ad rear seats in Herringbone leather, while they have used black leather with gold stitching for the armrests.

Details such as aluminium door entry sill plates, steering wheel centre in black leather and machined aluminium foot pedals round out the entire tuning project.

Kahn Range Rover Evoque RS Sport Shines Bright in Orkney Grey

Kahn Range Rover Evoque RS Sport comes in this beautiful grey exterior color. It also features a lot of styling upgrades for its exterior and interior. As a matter of fact, we seen this model being updated so many times, but it is never late for a better version. Even more, since it is one of the most cherished vehicles, it is always nice to see a custom-made individual variant. And here is what this one-off Evoque is about.

Exterior

Important to mention is that the exterior paint scheme of this Kahn Range Rover Evoque RS Sport is called Orkney Grey. It looks magical because it was made of highly reflective particles inside a transparent layer. As a result, this combination creates a glistening effect.

As cool as it might be, one-color for the outer shell always seems monotone and sometimes boring. This is why, the experts at Kahn Design decided to contrast the grey exterior with black elements. Precisely, the darker color has been chosen for the floating black roof stripe and mirrors. They even added several Vesuvius Orange colored components.

This Range Rover Evoque, fitted with Tech Pack, has new front and rear bumper set to show-off with. The front also gets black and silver mesh, 3-D mesh inserts and LED daytime running lights. The specialists also added 3-D mesh grille.

At the sides, the vehicle is defined by side vents, stainless steel door entry sill plates, side sill trims as well as new “shoes”. To go into details, Kahn Design fitted onto this Range Rover 20-inch Matte Gun Metal grey wheels. Behind them we see contrasting brake callipers.

At last, the new appearance of the rear is characterized by new exhaust diffuser and the sporty rear bumper. New lower trunk spoiler and classic twin cross-hair exhaust have been also installed.

Interior

Sitting behind a privacy tinted glass, the occupants will enjoy lavish leather upholstery. Precisely, the front and rear seats as well as the dashboard and transmission are covered with black leather. As a contrast, the designers used quilted stitching.

Below the waistline there are vented foot pedals in machined aluminium, diamond gear selector, stainless steel door entry sill plates and high-quality carpet floor mats.

Kahn Reveals Land Rover Defender XS 110 Pick Up in Corris Grey

Kahn Land Rover Defender XS 110 Pick Up is this week’s entry the talented tuner just sent us. For this project Kahn Design have worked closely with Chelsea Truck Company to create this truly unique Double Cab pickup based on the Defender 2.2 TDCI XS 110. Looking even more military than ever, this vehicle features all of the needed design elements to be called a masterpiece. Let’s se what the British experts have achieved this time.

Exterior

To begin with the “boxy” outer shell of this Kahn Land Rover Defender, it has been covered with one-off Corris Grey colour. It seems like this paint scheme fits perfectly to the rough style of the model, doesn’t it? Other changes include a set of extended fenders with exposed bolt apertures, new bumper with integrated daytime running lights and shadow chrome headlights.

The modifications to the front continue with the new X-Lander front grille, which is in the same color as the lower bumper guard, thus giving it toughened look. A stainless steel hood and fender vent mesh is what keeps the off-road design theme.

In terms of wheels and tires, this Defender definitely got the best. The reason for this is that it has been fitted with 9 x 20-inch Volcanic Black Mondial wheels. They were then shod with 275/55/20″ tires. In addition, new toughened mud flaps can be seen behind the wheels. The rear pair actually integrates a set of cross-hair exhaust outlets.

Interior

The cabin of the Kahn Land Rover Defender Pick Up is lavishly equipped with exclusive materials and features. Start with the Sports GTB seats, they now replace the standard ones and come in Black Leather and Alcantara.

There is also a new Kahn billet steering wheel accompanied by vented foot pedals in machined aluminium inside. Rounding out this exclusive project is the Churchill time clock integrated into the dashboard.

Land Rover Discovery Sport Ground Effect Edition Unveiled by Kahn Design

Kahn Land Rover Discovery Sport Ground Effect Edition is this week’s update from the famous tuning company from Great Britain. The team at Kahn Design has brought the vehicle to new levels. The 2.2-litre diesel engine under the hood of this model is the only unit in the range of those Land Rovers coupled with a six-speed manual or a nine-speed automatic gearbox.

In addition this unit can also reach the 100 km/h from standstill in just 9.8 seconds, which makes it even more attractive in its class. Although the tuners did not do anything else to improve the output of the car, they have done fantastic work inside and out.

Exterior

Kahn Land Rover Discovery Sport is called Ground Effect Edition for a reason. First and foremost factor for this was Afzal Kahn who wanted to make the SUV stand out in the crowded market. So he focused on creating an upgrade, which had to be simple but at the same time to underscore the specific and unique nature of the model. So he called it Ground Effect Edition.

First, the metallic silver exterior paint finish of the car received Kahn bonnet and tailgate lettering. Then it was complemented by the Silver Platinum RS600 alloys that come in 20-inch size. New rubbers are always obligatory when it comes to Kahn design tuning. In this particular case, the Defender Sport got the 275X40X20 tires behind which liquid red brake callipers take form.

Interior

The interior of the Ground Effect Edition is in perfect harmony with the liquid red calipers. It is all wrapped up in beautifully crafted Red Herringbone leather. In details, the cabin received full upholstery of the front and rear seats, in combination with headrests and armrests, in high quality quilted and perforated soft leather.

In addition, the door card centre and steering wheel centre hub were decided in Alcantara, while the door card tops, dashboard, centre glove box in leather. Below the waistline there are vented foot pedals in machined aluminium accompanied by the door entry sill plates made of the same material.

Kahn Range Rover LE Signature Edition Front View It is Friday and it is time for the latest project by the talented British tuners at Kahn Design. This time they have chosen the Range Rover 3.0 TDV6 Vogue LE and given it more prestigious looks. Although the car exudes confidence and style in every aspect, after the treatment of the experts it is more luxurious than ever.

This time they have kept it simple and have added only an upgrade package and new wheels. The transformation began with the installation of some new carbon fiber parts. The 600LE carbon composite front and rear bumper have replaced the standard ones.

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.

Kahn Releases Tech Pack for the Range Rover Evoque RS Sport

After the latest projects we have seen from Kahn Design, it is now time to show you something “more ordinary”. Of course, I am not talking about the exclusivity of the vehicle here, but about the fact that it isn’t that ambitious as the Vengeance Project or the Flying Huntsman. Instead, this Range Rover Evoque has received a thorough treatment.

Exterior

Equipped with the Tech Pack, the RS Sport version of the Evoque carries a wide range of exterior styling upgrades. First I should mention the striking exterior color, which is slick Santorini Black Metallic. See how dramatic it looks?

Next, at the front there is a matte black centre bumper section accompanied by a grille with 3-D mesh and a bumper mesh in matte black and silver. The side sills are contrasted by side vent inserts and integrated vents and LED daytime running lights.

At the sides we see new Matt Gun Metal multispoke RS600 wheels that come in the dimensions of 20-inches. They have been fitted with 275x40x20 tires, behind which hide a set of brake callipers. At last, rounding out the exterior of this car is the stainless steel cross-hair exhaust system, which gives the SUV even further muscular presence.

Interior

When one steps inside the RS Sport, he or she finds out an interior dressed in quilted and perforated black leather highlighted by the contrast stitching along. Other cool elements inside are the diamond gear selector, aluminium vented foot pedals, the stainless steel door entry sill plates and the carpet floor mats.

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.

The Vengeance: Kahn Teases New Project

Kahn Design has been lately famous for the Flying Huntsman project. After the successful Flying Huntsman 6×6 concept revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in March, the latest addition in the family was the Defender Pick-up that caused a lot of controversial comments.

They were mainly in terms of the strange front to rear lengthening. The two-door Defender-based pick up actually includes more than 15 inches to the standard 90-inch wheelbase. The lengthening adds 400 mm to the bonnet and 150 mm added to the width. This results in a huge difference between the lengths of the rear-bed and front hood.

Anyway, the British tuner has been obviously planning another ambitious project. What is currently available as information is that the next project will be also based on another British classic. It will be called Vengeance and will feature Kahn’s specific WB12 (a.k.a wide body).

Next to the teaser, the tuner announced that the car will be built in Coventry and will be a two-door coupe in “hammer formed aluminium”. What we also know for sure is that the official images of the vehicle will be released this week. My personal guess, judging from the teaser and available data, is that we will see an Aston Martin. Probably a Vantage. What’s yours?

Flying Huntsman Family adds Defender Pick Up

Flying Huntsman 105 Pick Up Side View At the Geneva Motor Show happened the big reveal of the Flying Huntsman. This is one of Kahn Design’s ultimate creations, which has gathered so many praises at the event. Now, the British tuner is unveiling the next member in the exclusive family of the Flying Huntsman. This time, the unique vehicle series got a pick-up among them. The car will be revealed at the Great British Land Rover Show at Donnington Park this Sunday.

The Flying Huntsman 105 Pick Up is based on the two-door Defender 90 Pick Up, but includes more than 15 inches to the standard 90-inch wheelbase. The lengthening includes 400 mm added to the bonnet as well as 150 mm added to the width.

Other modifications, which were announced feature a new dramatic body color and exclusive X-Lander front grille, front and rear wide wings with vents and bolt apertures as well as widened wheel arches. In addition, there are new headlamps accompanying the replaced front bumper. The bonnet and side vents were made with mesh stainless steel; there are also new side steps and matt black 18-inch Defend 1945 Retro alloys.

Under the Hood of the Huntsman we have 2.2-litre diesel engine, which drives the four wheels through a button-operated six-speed automatic transmission. What is more, the tuner has also changed brakes and suspension for more security on the road.

Proceeding to the interior, there is said to be full upholstery, complementing the front two GTB Sports Seats. Other special treats inside feature Churchill time clock & rev counter fascia, vented machined aluminium foot pedals and a Kahn billet steering wheel.

We hope to get more details and pictures after Sunday when this car will be officially revealed.

How About an Extra Tuning for the Evoque? Yes, please!

Range Rover Evoque is one of the most wanted vehicles around the world. After the Type R, this is probably my second “dream-about” model. What makes it so attractive? It is probably up to one’s taste, but for sure when an Evoque gets a proper tuning, things really go out of control. This week, the specialists at Kahn Design have been working on this exclusive car and it now looks amazing.

Dubbed Kahn Range Rover Evoque RS250 Edition, the vehicle has been equipped with Tech Pack, but the first thing that one sees is the vibrant Volcanic Rock Satin paint. To make a contrast, the designers have made the roof black.

At the front, the Tech Pack has contributed for the new 3-D mesh grille, the inner grille with vents, headlight details, new bumper with running lights, integrated LEDs and “KAHN” lettering. The sides of the vehicle are dominated by the new sills, painted brake callipers and vents, while at the rear we see new bumper with integrated vents and a lower boot lid spoiler.

Rounding out the exterior tuning are the lowered sports suspension system, the stainless steel twin crosshair exhaust system and the 22-inch Kahn RS wheels fitted with 265x35x22″ tyres.

The interior of the vehicle is characterized by Oxblood Red Leather upholstery for the front and rear seats, centre glove box, transmission tunnel, and door arm rests. There is also a new speedometer, diamond gear selector, aluminium vented foot pedals, stainless steel door entry sill plates and heavy duty carpets.

Only those inside will benefit seeing the inner beauty of the Range Rover, since Kahn has added a privacy-tinted glass.
