Kahn Range Rover Vogue 600-LE Bathes in Volcanic Rock Satin

A. Kahn Design has entered on the market an extreme project featuring striking styling and stance. We are talking about the custom Volcanic Rock Satin Range Rover 3.0 TDV6 Vogue 600-LE by Project Kahn. Besides the emblematic comfort and tailored elegance which is inherent in all of tuning company’s interior tunings, this Range Rover have been given new exterior upgrades such as the Volcanic Rock Satin paint scheme.

Let’s start with the floating black roof, which sits atop the vehicle and extends towards the rear. This was made possible due to the addition of a new wing with an extended lip spoiler that also delivers improved down force.

In addition, the custom front bumper includes a floating carbon fibre section, which sits below the new three-dimensional mesh, floating insert and body coloured surround. The lightweight element is also used for the side vents, while the body colour is to be found on the door handles.

Kahn enamel wing shields, privacy-tinted glass, 600-LE bumper with integrated exhaust diffuser, 600-LE cross hair quad rear tailpipes and finishers in black must also be mentioned. Of course, Kahn lettering is positioned above the more dynamic rear bumper and the lower boot lid spoiler to show who’s responsible for the beautification of the Vogue.

Speaking about tuning we surely must include the wheels, which in this case are a new set of RS-2 wheels in the size of 9.5″ x 23″ fitted with 285x35x22″ tyres. Behind the Gloss Black RS-2 wheels one can see gold-painted callipers.

The interior is adorned by perforated black leather. In fact, the 3-D modular front and rear seats are fitted with the soft material as well as the centre glove box, door cards, arm rests and steering wheel centre in Nappa leather. Stainless steel sill plates and vented foot pedals in machined aluminium is what rounds out this sporty 600-LE Luxury Edition SUV.

Kahn Reveals Entirely Redesigned Jeep Wrangler Sahara

We have just received the striking pictures of Kahn Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4DR Chelsea Truck Company CJ300. As you can guess this is the latest creation of the British company, which has taken all the good from the standard model and added some comfort, style and exclusivity to the Sahara. First, we see that the original exterior color was substituted with Volcanic Grey Satin. The grille is also new. Sitting up front, the four-slot grille is Chelsea Truck Company-made and features an industrial mesh between two smoked headlamps.

If you take a closer look to either of the side wing blades, you will see that they got a carbon fibre construction. They and the fuel filler door contrast with the Volcanic Grey finish. Piano Black door mirrors, door handles and roof, 100mm tailpipes quad crosshair system and a Chelsea Truck Company spare wheel cover is what exaggerates this contrast even more.

The interior is hidden from prying eyes thanks to added privacy glass. Of course, there is much to be seen inside, since we are speaking about an A. Kahn Design tuning. The front with its heated front seats, the rear GTB sport seats centre glove box and the armrests have all been re-upholstered in black and red quilted/perforated leather.

There is also a new steering wheel, which now offers up greater grip and feel for the driver. Beneath the waistline sits stainless steel door entry sill plates and floor mats.

At last, the toughness is of this Jeep Wrangler model is emphasized by the 9 x 20 inch Jeep 1988 wheels in a Satin Black finish fitted with beefy 275/55/20 inch tyres. Behind those wheels sit Liquid Red brake callipers along with a new set of mud flaps.

We have missed to mention the crosshair exhaust system that additionally gives this 60th anniversary Defender SVX Edition a rugged look.

Unlike most tuners, A. Kahn Design is famous for its generously equipped custom interiors. Consequently, this Defender benefits from front racing seats in black quilted nappa leather with Harris Tweed Inserts and silver contrast stitching. Firm cushioning in the form of Harris Tweed inserts improves the overall comfort, too.

Ant-Kahn Shows New Render Of Evanta Barchetta

Ant-Kahn Evanta Barchetta has just been teased with a new render image and some technical details. The co-founders Afzal Kahn and Ant Anstead have revealed through various social media sites this image, which shows that the forthcoming British sports car will be an open-top two-seater. They have also announced that it will be made from a lightweight composite material. This retro-styled Barchetta will have its official premiere at the Goodwood Revival motor show in September.

In fact, the vehicle looks like a classic Italian car. However, Ant-Kahn promises to utilize only the most modern prototyping and manufacturing technology at its best UK-based design and production centres. Other exclusive news around the model is that it will be powered by a 6.2-litre unit, which will produce 450 horsepower (330 kW).

Unfortunately, there are no additional details revealed. Its slim design is undoubtedly retro-inspired. And we sincerely hope to see that when the car comes to life it will keep this staggering red exterior color as well as the classic multi-spoke wheels.

Kahn’s unique Barchetta will probably boast luxury interior and many innovative technology features. As one can see from this side-view image, the car has a protruding rear wheel arch and comes with heavily vented flanks.
