At this precise moment, in the heart of Project Kahn’s creative laboratory – where all their designs are realized – the design team, led by principal British designer Afzal Kahn, have begun working on Kahn treatments of the prospective new Land Rover Defender.

To be launched under the Kahn Expedition Vehicles brand, these vehicles feature the kind of refinements which make Project Kahn’s bespoke vehicles a favourite amongst discerning customers. The design proposals look to create speedier, bespoke and still hard-core off roaders which retain their off road roots while adding a dose of luxury and individuality. The variety of designs show their willingness to cater to every customer’s desire, while remaining refined and seeking to sympathetically tweak already high-quality products.

Evolved through skilled artistic and engineering innovation and using state-of-the-art manufacturing and materials technology, Kahn RS wheels used on the initial images exemplify what A. Kahn Design is all about – creating something that is both unique but refined enough to both complement and enhance each vehicle. Furthermore, the RS wheels accommodate all original Land Rover Centre caps and are one part of the conversion already available for current Land Rover and Range Rover models.

Inside will be the expected bespoke touch. We provide our customers with the opportunity to express one’s individuality. And they can have whatever they want. We could, for example, design for you a vehicle with an exterior the colour of your shirt and an interior the same shade of your living room. The choice is yours.

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.

Having got his hands on a number of Discovery’s and promptly transforming them into visual icons, principal British Designer Afzal Kahn has applied the finishing touches to a sportier and aggressive version of the vehicle entitled: the ‘Black Edition’.

You cannot really comprehend the Black Edition nor can you understand the feel of this irresistible vehicle until you actually get behind the wheel yourself. A rousing entity with aspiration; it is the sort of car you can drive with utilitarian but charming purpose.

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

The Black Edition comes with an impressive aerodynamic pack consisting of a four piece body kit, RS grille in matt black, side vents, colour coded side skirts, red calipers, led lights, aluminum foot pedals, Kahn sports exhaust system along with Kahn branding.

Inside is the new “bespoke touch” with a whole new personalised leather treatment to suit the customer’s own specifications. You can also keep your family entertained as they sit comfortably and pander to the whims of the multimedia system.

Evolved through skilled artistic innovation and state-of-the art manufacturing and materials technology- our 22-inch RS-600 wheels – exemplify what A. Kahn Design is all about: elegance and skilled artistic innovation. Furthermore, the option to place 22-inch RS-L wheels, is also available.

A. Kahn Design is for the individual who will not submit to a life of uniformity and who will only accept perfection. As an internationally renowned design house, 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. We are dedicated to the creation of luxury bespoke vehicles – redesigning the ordered monotony of mass produced vehicles and rebuilding them into individually tailored creations.
