If you haven't been living in a cave, shut off from the fantastic world of European supercars for the past decade, then you'll likely know that Aston Martin has been hard at work on a succession of new flagships since the vaunted Vanquish. But Aston Martin is an automaker deeply rooted in its heritage, so even after discontinuing the Vanquish, it came back to give it some upgrades. Now, noted British tuning house Project Kahn has followed suite by revisiting the Vanquish S with a new interior package.
Kahn's vision for the Vanquish's interior includes a custom dashboard, center console, seats, door panels, steering wheel and roof lining decked out in the customer's choice of contrasting Nappa and Alcantara leather trim, deliciously perforated and top-stitched. Piano lacquer trim panels and smoked privacy glass also form part of the delectable package. Of course Vanquish owners could probably find any number of upholsterers eager and willing to work up a fresh take on the erstwhile Aston flagship's cockpit, but Kahn presents a compelling option. Follow the jump for the press release and check out the high-resolution images in the gallery below.

IMO...too much of the white stitching. I like it on the seats and on the gauge cover, but not all over the dash, at least not in white.

White stitching, black stitching.... can't we all just get a lawn?

I'm not a big fan of the white stitching either. It's not going to look so good when it starts to collect dirt. However, the overall look is quite nice.

Kahn...as in Montalban as Kahn?
Is that "rich, Corinthian leather?"
"Kahn!"

It was brilliant. Too bad the kiddies don't get it. :D

is it just me or does that center console look really cheap and plasticky? reminds me of my old '98 chevy cavalier. or are they actually going for that 90's look?

I too was just thinking the stero/buttons looked very out of place. Keep in mind the Vanquish was released in the 90s while AM was still under Ford ownership. However, based on a) flagship AM and b) this K upgrade package I'd expect better.

It doesn't look cheap at all. It looks very retro craftsman. Cars actually looked like this when people made them with their hands and put their heart and soul into the details.

Alcantara is not leather.

there is wayyyyyyyyy too much going on here. white stitching everywhere, ugly red accents on the seats, mismatched colored fabrics, pointless embroidery on the seats... i could see this in a riced out Neon but not in an AM.

The radio still has plastic on it. Throw out the car and do it again.
