Do you feel that a standard Range Rover Autobiography version is just too civilized for you?

Then the new Project Kahn Range Rover Sport Diablo is for you.

Principal British Designer Afzal Kahn has designed the mischievous Diablo as an object of desire, a car that speaks to its owner's heart more than any other car in production today.

You cannot really understand the Diablo until you actually see one on the road and you surely cannot understand the feel of a Diablo until you actually drive it. It makes more noise than you can imagine, yet, the sound of its engine can instantly stir you up, it is more practical than anything else you have seen in your life, yet it is irresistible.

From exterior styling to performance and lifestyle accessories, the Diablo exudes craftsmanship and performance enhancing features.

The Diablo comes with an impressive aerodynamic pack consisting of bullet side vents in red carbon, red rubber side steps and Kahn branding.

Inside is the new "bespoke touch" with a whole new personalised leather treatment to suit the customer's own specifications.

Evolved through skilled artistic innovation and state-of-the art manufacturing and materials technology- our 22-inch RS lightweight wheels with red stripes – exemplify what A. Kahn Design is all about: elegance and skilled artistic innovation. Furthermore, the RS wheels accommodate all original Land Rover centre caps.

Project Kahn vehicles are for the individual who will not submit to a life of uniformity and who will only accept perfection. Dedicated to the creation of luxury bespoke vehicles, we redesign the ordered monotony of mass produced vehicles and rebuild them into individually tailored creations.

Project Kahn announces the limited edition AFZAL KAHN RS-300 - one of the fastest Range Rovers In The World!

On a sunny day in April 2011 the Project Kahn RS300 Cosworth powered Range Rover etched its place in history, having been declared one of the fastest Range Rovers in the world!

In the presence of Afzal Kahn the limited edition RS-300 Range Rover complete with its 5.8 litre engine astonished onlookers.

Every detail of this car, and not just its use of Cosworth technology, harks back to the pioneering spirit of the British motoring industry, and the Project Kahn  – RS300 Cosworth powered Range Rover is wholly unmistakable, with every external modification serving to coax greater performance from the car.

This gives noticeably more precise control of the wheels and the car as a whole. With improved interaction between the tyres and the intelligent all-wheel drive system, the RS-300 Cosworth offers perfect handling.

The RS300’s flat, elongated silhouette is immediately recognizable with an outstanding styling package consisting of 20” RS wheels and tyres, 10 piece body kit, 2 piece front bumper spoilers, a satin front mesh grille, front bumper A-frame, door handles, colour coded side sills and rear apron and Cosworth stainless steel door entry sills.

Furthermore, the Project Kahn side vents each labelled with a number, complement the exterior.

Inside, we get the same high quality as expected - perforated and quilted RS front and rear seats with Cosworth logo's, quilted centre glove box and instrument binnacle, RS gear shift with contrasting stitching, Cosworth blue dials and time clock, Cosworth numbered conversion plaque - hand crafted Cosworth enamel boot badge and Cosworth front and rear lettering.

Project Kahn has a tradition of making super-sport versions of successful models. As one of the UK’s leading design houses, we recognise the importance of staying true to the original design themes of cutting edge luxury vehicles, while evolving them to achieve a new and dynamic appearance.

For those not currently looking to purchase a new vehicle, Kahn Design can convert existing Range Rovers to a ‘Kahn Cosworth’ and sell their bespoke parts and wheels at very competitive prices. Furthermore, the vehicle is available in any colour. However, it must be noted, the conversion/vehicle is available for a short period of time.

Range Rover Sport 2004 -

The Range Rover Sport brought to fruition the desire of Land Rover's previous corporate owner (Ford) to expand the number of models in the line-up and increase market share with a slightly smaller, more sporty luxury SUV. It is aimed squarely at the "sports car SUVs" such as the BMW X3 & X5, Mercedes ML, VW Touareg and Porsche Cayenne, with the idea of equalling their on-road performance while blowing them away in off-road capability. When the "Range Stormer" concept vehicle made the rounds of auto shows, everyone hoped that Ford would not debase the Range Rover name by using it on something with less than superior off road capabilities. As it turns out, Land Rover has done a creditable job, and the resulting vehicle is so impressive that thousands were ordered months before it became available to the buying public.

The new model was officially unveiled in November 2004.

Based on the Discovery 3/LR3 platform, the Range Rover Sport uses the same hybrid chassis and body construction, with wheelbase reduced by 6 inches and the overall stance lowered. The more stylish, less bulky bodywork has traditional Range Rover styling cues such as the "floating" roof and clamshell bonnet. The Discovery 3's double-wishbone air suspension with "Terrain Response" system is utilized, along with its base engine, the 300 horsepower Jaguar-derived 4.4 litre V8.

The Sport's reduced bulk gives it better highway performance than stablemate the Discovery 3, further enhanced by a sophisticated dynamic stability system. More exciting is the upscale version with a 4.2 litre supercharged version of the V8, developing about 400 horsepower and a top speed of 140 mph. Even this version will not quite keep up with the fastest "posh" SUVs from Porsche and Mercedes, but it's good enough to provide a serious alternative for those looking for something with real off-road capability. For the more economy-minded, a 2.7 litre diesel version is also available.

One loss compared to other Range Rovers is the traditional and very useful tailgate, as this is replaced in the Sport by a hatch back design that allows you to open either the top window only, or the whole hatch for full access.

In spite of the 6 inch wheelbase reduction, overall length is only 2.4 inches (6 cm) shorter than the Discovery, and the Sport is actually 20kg heavier. Compared to the standard Range Rover, it is about 6.5 inches shorter and 40kg heavier. This reflects the less efficient (from a strength to weight point of view) body and frame construction compared to the BMW-designed monocoque Range Rover.

The transmission for this model is also directly from the Discovery, a 6 speed ZF HP26 unit with normal, sport, and manual shift modes. On the supercharged model, a "positive torque" feature is added to enhance gear changes. The transfer case, also from the Discovery, has an excellent low range ratio of 2.9 to 1 and an electronically controlled locking centre differential.

Land Rover's now-standard 4-wheel electronic traction control and Hill Descent Control systems are included on this model. Also included is the new "Terrain Response" system that was introduced on the Discovery 3. Like the rest of the Sport's mechanicals, the suspension derives directly from the Discovery 3, but with some variations to optimize it for higher speed performance on road. This suspension was in turn derived from the Range Rover independent electronically controlled air suspension, but uses double wishbones both front and rear (the Range Rover Mk III (L322) uses MacPherson struts in the front).

Project Kahn Unveils The Davis Mark II Edition

Bradford/England, April, 2011 – At this exact moment, deep in the heart of Project Kahn’s scientific laboratory – where all designs are made and realised, Afzal Kahn and his team have finished putting the finishing touches to the aptly titled: ‘Davis Mark II Edition’.

Featuring the kind of treatment that makes Project Kahn’s bespoke vehicle a favourite amongst celebrities; the fugi white ‘Davis Mark II’ is essentially a 12 piece pace car which boasts an exceptional styling package.

Priced at £69,875, this spectacular vehicle started life as a 2011 Range Rover Sport 3.0tdv6se – but is now a moving catalogue for all the latest modifications available from Project Kahn.

On the outside, it looks immaculate. The body kit makes the Range Rover’s already flawless lines continue: the new lower front bumper, rear low valance, RS grille and floating roof- all painted in Matt pearl grey draw you in like a guiding light.

Inside is the “bespoke touch” with a quilted carbon fibre bespoke leather interior in red, Kahn billet steering wheel, Project Kahn mats and Kahn aluminum foot pedals.

In addition, matt pearl grey door handles, LED strip lights in the front arches, red rubber side steps, red calipers, RS300 rev counter, speedo, time clock, stainless steel door entry sills and a quad exhaust system which is positively addictive - demonstrate improved interaction coupled with a sense of motor supremacy, performance and style.

Furthermore, to mark the16^th anniversary of the creation of the RS-R alloy wheel, Afzal Kahn has started as he means to go on by ‘going back to the future’ and re-vamping the RS-R wheels in order to complement the ‘Davis Mark II’.

Available in 9.5 x 22 and 10.5 x 22 sizes, the key design elements of the RS-R remain the same, simple clean lines, soft organic surfaces on the edges of the spoke and a purposeful mechanical centre.

The RS-R wheel was the very first wheel designed and manufactured by Afzal Kahn, earning him world-wide acclaim for fashioning the first wheel with a spoke running to the very edge of the rim.

The classic RS-R conjured up a sense of power, performance and style that was incredibly popular with drivers around the world, so much so that it is the most imitated wheel design to date. From the UK to the Middle East, from Russia to America and from the road to the cinema screen, chances are that if you’ve spotted a beautiful, high – flying alloy wheel design, it will have stemmed from Afzal Kahn’s original design.

The ‘Davis Mark II Edition’ is about taking Land Rover personalization on a whole new level.

We provide our customers with the opportunity to express one’s individuality. And they can have whatever they want. Afzal Kahn could, for example, design for you a vehicle with an exterior the colour of your jeans and an interior with seats the same shade of lets say, a grey T-shirt. Customers could change the colour of the clock, or ask for anything else, the world is their oyster, so to speak.

Have you subscribed to Afzal Kahn’s philosophy yet?
