Sahara – Automobiles Review

Kahn Design and the Volcanic Jeep Wrangler Sahara CTC

Kahn Jeep Wrangler Sahara CTC Side View It is Friday and we are absolutely ready to let you know of this week’s project of the tuners at Kahn Design. Under their expertise is the Jeep Wrangler. Involved in the making of this customization is also Chelsea Truck Company, so we definitely expect the best treatment that can be offered for this car. We know that Kahn Design likes to make thing perfect inside and out, so let’s see what they have done to the exterior of the beautiful Wrangler.

Exterior

The CJ300 LE has a vibrant paint scheme, called Volcanic Rock. It has been contrasted via Satin Black door handles, mirrors, roof and fuel filler cap. The same grayish theme is used for the front where we see two shadow chrome headlights, sitting on either side of the four-slot Chelsea Tuck Company grille with industrial mesh.

We can assure you that this vehicle is Kahn’s via the new Chelsea Truck Company spare wheel cover, Kahn enamel tailgate logo, and fender shields. Silver Platinum 20-inch Jeep 1986 wheels were fitted with 275/55/20″ tyres, behind which sit Liquid Gold brake callipers. At last grabbing the attention is the quad cross-hair exhaust system sitting beneath the rear bumper.

Proceeding to the interior, it is as luxurious as you might imagine it to be, if you are following closely Kahn’s work. It can’t be viewed from the outside, because up front is a privacy-tinted glass. Once you step inside, you experience the comfortability of brand new front and rear seats wrapped in quilted and perforated black leather. By the way, the same approach has been used for the centre console and arm rests.

The last details were added with the stainless steel door entry sill plates, toughened rubber floor mats, and machined vented foot pedals. And there is a complement by the tuner. The person who will get this beautiful machine will also receive an elegant Chelsea Truck Company watch with machined Stainless Steel case with black PVD coating and tough mineral glass. The perfect attribute for this beautiful Wrangler, isn’t it?

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.

Inside, the Jeep is a true masterpiece. The designers have decided to give the vehicle an interior in two colors – black and red. As materials they have used leather and Alcantara. The originally white ceiling has been painted in black, while the plastic elements on the doors, steering wheel and the air outlets on the dashboard has been slightly metallized.

To make it even more harmonious inside, the tuners have created new belts in the color of the seats. As a special treat for they client, they have designed an individual travel bag in the style of the interior.

In terms of exterior, Vilner decided to reinforce the masculine look of the car via the substitution of the old 17” wheels with 20”. Then, the Wrangler has been equipped with LED headlights, LED fog lights and LED rear turn signals. Chrome has been used for the door handles, grilles, mirrors and the tank cap.

As a final touch, chiptuning has been performed. The original 200 horsepower (147 kW) of the 2,8 CRD Engine have been enhanced to 261 hp (192 kW), while the torque was raised from 460 Nm (340 lb-ft) to 558 Nm (412 lb-ft).
