Project Kahn is doing their part in helping out the many victims of the recent natural disasters in Japan with their new special edition Range Rover Sport "Miyagi." This new special edition gets both exterior and interior modifications and will be auctioned off in order to help the people of Japan.
For the exterior of the Miyagi, Project Kahn has added a brand new bespoke front bumper with fog lamp surrounds in billet steel finish, a rear bumper replacement with exhaust diffuser, side skirts, matte black side vents with double mesh, and rear quad stainless steel exhaust system by Cosworth. It also includes bespoke 22” RS Cosworth wheels.
For the interior, the new Miyagi model receives bespoke quilted leather for the front and rear seats, a new glove box, and a new dash board. This will be combined with a shock of electric blue on the speedometer, rev counter, and clock.
In total, 10,872 people died and more than 387,000 people were forced from their homes by the disaster, including around 74,000 children. Project Kahn is hoping the victims of this disaster will receive the support from all of us, including the lucky owners of the Range Rover Sport Miyagi.
America’s Independence Day is just around the corner - it’s July 4th, in case you didn’t know - and instead of celebrating the day with the typical fireworks and barbecues, Project Kahn is hoping Americans will take kindly to their new "Patriotic" package based off of the 2011 Kahn Range Rover Sport. The British tuner hasn’t done much to the original tuning package, but is offering it with red, white, and blue exterior paint options.
Aside from the patriotic tri-color palette, Project Kahn’s version of the Range Rover Sport comes with a new lower front bumper and a rear low valance. Customizable options include a floating or striped roof - painted in a color, style, and even flag of your choice. For the interior, the tuner is offering a never-ending array of color options, including our good ol’ stars and stripes. Customers can even opt for a diamond studded clock bezel. The package also includes personalized door handles, LED strip lights in the front arches, rubber side steps, calipers, rear spoiler, rev counter, speedo, time clock, stainless steel door entry sills, and a quad exhaust system.
As for the engine, Project Kahn has provided a Cosworth engine upgrade that produces 300 HP with Cosworth branding.
This tuning package isn’t anything to write home about, but if you have the extra cash and want to show off your patriotism in the parking lot as well as poolside, then we guess this is one way to go.
Aznom may not be a first-name tuning company in the eyes of many, but you can’t deny the fact that these guys are making a lot of headlines these days. Fresh off their works on the Audi A1 and the Abarth 500C, the aftermarket company has released their latest project: the Range Rover Spirito Divino.
Based on the 4.4-liter TD V8 engine with 313 horsepower Range Rover Vogue SE, the special edition SUV doesn’t look the part of a tuned up vehicle, but all you need to do is go take a look at the luggage compartment at the back to see where Aznom, together with wine publication Spirito DiVino, worked their magic.
What used to be ample compartment space at the back has been turned into a wine cabinet. Two, in fact. The specially built compartment has two air-conditioned cabinets that are capable of carrying as many as 12 bottles of wine. On top of that, there are two custom trunks inside the Range Rover covered in the leather seats and carrying five bottles of red wine with a matching set of wine glasses. To keep up with the ’wine’ theme of the car, Aznom dressed up the bodywork and the interior with a wine-colored finish, complete with clear-contrast piping on the seats.
To ensure that the cabinets are in tip-top condition, Aznom also gave the Range Rover a recharging system courtesy of either a dedicated solar panel or a cord unit that can be plugged into an external outlet.
All of these elements combined make this the perfect ride for just about any Wino. Let’s just hope that none of these wine aficionados take a drink while sitting in the driver’s seat - or anywhere in the car for that matter.
British tuner, Project Kahn, has done it again. The company has announced the limited edition RS300 Afzal Kahn based on the Land Rover Range Rover SUV. The model comes equipped with Cosworth technology, a 10 piece body kit, and a pretty impressive interior update.
The body kit includes two piece front bumper spoilers, a satin front mesh grille, a front bumper A-frame, door handles, color coded side sills and rear apron, and Cosworth stainless steel door entry sills. The final touch for the exterior has been given by a new set of 20" RS wheels.
For the interior, the limited edition RS300 adds perforated and quilted RS front and rear seats with Cosworth logos, quilted center glove box and instrument binnacle, RS gear shift with contrasting stitching, Cosworth blue dials and time clock, Cosworth numbered conversion plaque, a hand crafted Cosworth enamel boot badge, and Cosworth front and rear lettering.
The Range Rover Sport has been subjected to countless tuning upgrades and aftermarket companies seem to have taken great joy in continuing this plight. The latest tuning company to take a stab at upgrading the luxury British SUV is Unichip, which recently released their latest ECU upgrade for the 3.0-liter TDV6 version of the Range Rover Sport.
As part of their program, Unichip’s new ‘U-connect’ and Uni-Q piggy back ECU remapping allows the Range Rover Sport’s engine to have a substantial turbo boost, resulting in the spike in engine output. After running a series of dyno tests with Range Rover Sport’s newly remapped ECU, it was determined that the SUV saw an increase in overall power, from the standard 260 horsepower all the way up to 281 horsepower at 3,031 RPM and 525 lb/ft of torque at 2,241 RPM. Despite the added power on the SUV, its combined 30 mpg fuel economy rating remains largely unaffected, thanks to the increased low speed torque and the refined ECU remapping.
All told, Unichip’s ECU upgrade for the Range Rover Sport comes at a cost of £423.15, which is about $683.57 based on current exchange rates. It’s a small price to pay for a mighty impressive re-tweaking of the Range Rover Sport’s engine.
