These days Bentley automobiles have become much more a part of mainstream society, losing a touch of the elegance and prestige that was always associated with the brand. However the design firm Project Kahn hopes to change this with their Pearl White Flying Spur. Aside from the quilted leather interior the most striking aspect of the vehicle are the 22 inch White Mist diamond cut alloys.

Because having one of 1600 Rolls-Royce cars (coupes, convertibles and sedans) produced per year is just not going to be exclusive enough, Project Kahn decided to offer a few extras of its own. When upgrading a luxury vehicle a great amount of attention must be paid to preserving the elegance that came from the factory. The ultimate goal is to make the modifications look as if they did indeed come from the factory. That is just what the English tuners at Project Kahn did with this pearl white Rolls Royce beauty.
An extreme amount of care was taken designing the 22 inch Kahn Silver Mist Rolls Royce wheel right down to the diamond polish treatment. Original equipment, OE, fit was critical for making the rims a picture perfect upgrade for the vehicle, including the use of the OE center caps.
Complimenting the rims on the exterior are clear side markers as well as trim pieces finished in piano black. The modifications work together to subtly enhance the overall appearance of the Rolls Royce Phantom without disturbing the original design.
Press release after the jump.

Lotus Elise drivers are usually not worried about their image. These are people who care so much about the drive that they don’t mind having to use a few facial expressions that usually are reserved for orgasms when trying to squeeze into and out of the small sports car.
But for those few image-conscious owners who need to be different Project Kahn is offering a body kit for the Elise. The modifications include a front spoiler, new ventilated wings, side skirts and a new rear diffuser with integrated exhaust system. Also a new suspension system was installed for better stability at high speeds as well as a new set of alloy wheels. More importantly the only enemy to the Elise is weight, but these items should not add too much heft to the 2000 lbs weight.
It almost seems like the tuning world is saying that Maserati knows how to make a beautiful car body, but it lacks skills with the wheels. After seeing Hamann’s new wheels for the GranTurismo last week, now Project Kahn is having its turn with the Italian.
Project Kahn mounted 20-inch Kahn RS-V wheels to the GT. The company says serves a real purpose by improving stability at high speeds. That could also be attributed to the suspension upgrade that is needed to properly facilitate the new wheels. Just like the Hamann car, Kahn saw no need to add any modifications to the car body or the 405 hp V8.
Project Kahn decided the to leave the Audi R8’s engine alone in its latest customization. It seems the British folks decided that 414 hp, 4.2-liter V8 was already enough for the car.
What they decided was the German lacked style. The tuning house added a new set of 20-inch F1-X carbon-fiber rims as well as a new suspension kit. Also the British tuner can customize the interior in every way the customer may want; just like the Aston Martin Vanquish S.
Occasionally the last few generations of Aston Martins have been criticized for borrowing too much from the Ford parts bin. Possibly to defend British honor, Mr. Afzal Kahn, the owner of the exclusivist British tuner Project Kahn, revealed some photos with a custom interior for the
Aston Martin Vanquish S. Project Kahn can add Alcantara leather in the dashboard, center piece, seats, door panels, steering wheel and the roof lining creating a nice custom finish to an already exclusive car.

Project Kahn may be looking to solidify its reputation as a producer of custom kits for premium cars. The British tuner revealed today its customization program for the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano. The new program includes a new set of 20 inch Kahn Carbon wheels on the front and 21 inch on the rear, a new sport exhaust system and a new suspension kit for better stability at very high speeds.
The engine remained the same because 620 hp are enough to sprint to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds and to provide a top speed in 205 mph. If you want more power, then you can check the Ferrari 599 GTB by Novitec.
SsangYoung is like the Rodney Dangerfield of the automotive world, it gets no respect. But unlike the late, great Mr. Dangerfield, it doesn’t deserve it. The Korean made, Chinese owned car company has yet to figure out how to design a car, and anyone who has ever driven one has wondered if it employs high school kids in its R&D department. So while SsangYoung’s Rexton may look like a Mercedes M-Class (it even has a Mercedes engine,) its the old M-Class with an old four-cylinder diesel. The only modification this car really needs is a few shot gun shells applied liberally to the entire front end until dead.
With that stated, it seems Project Kahn has decided to go very down-market and modify this beast from a company once known as "Dong-A-Motor". Dubbed Rexton R-Line, the new kit includes new side sills, rear spoiler with integrated exhaust system, parking sensors, Kenwood navigation system, and new 22-inch Kahn Design alloy wheels. Also available is a new Mercedes-Benz T-Tronic gearbox with added hill descend control to run the 4x4 system.
Price of the kit: $46,750. That’s a little pricey considering that top-of-the-line Rexon starts out at about $40,500 if it were available in the States (and be glad it’s not.)
After some months of teasing, Project Khan finally revealed the Kahn Cosworth 300 based on the Range Rover Sport. The new kit for the British SUV, priced at $113,170 is available for both the interior and exterior of the vehicle.
Outside there is a new front bumper, new side sills, a new rear bumper with integrated exhaust cutters, a new rear roof spoiler and new alloy wheels.
Inside are find two 7-inch Alpine screens connected to a state-of-the-art DVD player with two Phillips cordless headphones, iPod connections, head-up display and, as an option front and rear parking camera.
Also new aluminium pedals are available, as well as a Nappa leather interior with white stitching, stainless door plates with Cosworth logo, and a newgear knob dressed in perforated Alcantara leather and a start/stop button.
As you know Project Khan represents an exclusive tuning company specialised in tuning the most luxurious vehicles. Today, the British company unveiled its customization programme for the Porsche 997 Turbo.
The tuning programme consists in adding new 20” alloy wheels, new suspension kit which lowers the car with 20 mm and tinted glass smash & grab for the body work. Price of the kit: 4,500 pounds or $8,900.
