The thinking man's Escalade
... might be a Project Kahn Range Rover. Tastefully blinged, the Kahn "Range Vogue" includes:
-
privacy glass
-
custom leather package

engine upgrade
-
DVD player with twin seatback screens
-
in-car Playstation or Xbox

cordless headphones

Kahn Design has a range of upmarket project vehicles, including models
from Aston Martin, Mercedes and Porsche. According to Mr. Kahn, the mission of the U.K. design house is "To build
special vehicles for a small circle of people who have a taste for exclusivity and the finer things in life." Needless
to say, the price matches the mission.

Just goes to show that all the money in the world can't buy you good taste.

Love the title. People who buy American cars especially the Escalade are stupid. We should just make fun of them whenever we can because they don't know any better.
anyone notice my sarcasm?

Why would you want to lower an SUV, especially a Land Rover? It is just an insult to the engineers. It would look so much better lifted with aggreesive MT tires, off road bumpers, and lights.

I think that means it doesn't come with "spinners".
I can't figure out what this offers over and above the factory offered Supercharged Vogue SE or 35th Anniversary Edition....other than the 22" wheels, which IMO, are not as good looking as the standards 20's.

What an ostentatious piece of shit. Or an exercise in how to ruin a perfectly good design

I think maybe the problem is that the wheels are too small and need more chrome that would certainly help...erh...and maybe a yellow and red fire graphic down the side to give it a bit of ummffhh...

It's a Range Rover with some gaudy wheels and a body kit. You didn't build anything, you pretentious cunts.

Offroaders and SUVs with low-profile, onroad tires should pack their bags and go home. I mean, what's the point?

garbage?... is it 'carbage' when used in reference to cars?? Its these grotesque large chrome wheels I object to, they look like they belong in the kitchen hanging up with the other utensils...

1st of all you can't even get that in the states. Secondly, they didn't lower it, other than the freelander all the new land rovers have adjustable suspensions. Anyone that buys this package is unlikely to care about off roading. Project Kahn usually does an exceptional job, their LR3 (Discovery 3) was much better. I don't agree with this one entirely but it's still beautiful. I the alloy rims do not match the chrome accents and the chrome around the fog lights needs to go. Go and sit inside of a new range rover sometime if you still think they're ugly. If you don't love it I would be amazed.
