Project Kahn, the United Kingdom’s pre-eminent tuner, has partnered with one of the world’s best-known racing outfits, Cosworth, to produce this stunning Range Rover RS500 edition. Project Kahn stayed to true to the UK’s recent tradition of diesel love by using a turbo diesel Range instead of a petrol model.
The 4.4-litre V8 turbo diesel engine has been injected with more power and torque to go from the standard 230kW up to a stomping 373kW. That’s more powerful than an Audi Q7 V12 TDI! Maximum torque figures were not released but I expect something above the 900Nm mark.
Kahn has tricked out the Range into something almost unrecognisable from the standard car. Things like a hot new front bumper with fog lamp surrounds, side skirts, matt black side vents and kick ass exhaust tailpipes. Wheels are Kahn 22-inch RSX alloys. Inside there’s bespoke stitching on places like the steering wheel, while the rev counter area feature electric blue colouring. The seats are also well-stitched with Cosworth embroidery. A nice Kahn leather key ring gives it a lovely personal touch.
Although I have seen a couple of Kahn-converted Range Rovers running around my neighbourhood, I’m not sure if Kahn has a South African agent, or if the cars were imported. I’ll be sure to find out for you though.

Is there a Kahn tuner in SA? My brother would love to have his RANGE tuned there
We have asked Kahn about this. They are yet to get back to us.
