A. Kahn has been offering a solution to those wanting a compact vehicle with prestige design and craftsmanship for years. Kahn Design can take almost any ‘small’ car and add to it a persona of style and individuality that is perfect for zipping around the city.

Whilst the Aston Martin Cygnet is available from £30,000, Kahn Design offer both interior and exterior styling packages to enhance the look of even the smallest of vehicles. Styling packages may include various alloy wheels, grills, vents etc starting from as little as a £2,995. Perhaps you want your ‘about town’ car to mirror the style of your Bentley GTS – not a problem for Kahn Design they will add everything from spoilers to sills, leather interior to paint jobs to create an intelligent yet exclusive transport solution. 

So far opinion appears to be divided on the Cygnet with many questioning, what has been done to the Toyota IQ it’s based on to warrant it’s price tag. Here’s a thought why not buy a Toyota IQ and see what Kahn Design can do for a fraction of the price tag?

According to latest research by the Camelot Group a new BMW is the second most popular purchase for lottery winners, with a Range Rover coming in at number six. The most popular brand that millionaires head for is Mercedes-Benz with the C-Class topping the choice table for lottery winners.

1. Mercedes Benz
2. BMW
3. Mini
4. Vauxhall
5. Land Rover
6. Range Rover
7. Ford
8. Porsche
9. Audi
10. Jaguar

A new car is one of the first things that a lottery millionaire buys, with 36% of jackpot winners heading to a car showroom before buying a new house or even splashing some cash on the high street.

Few stop at just one set of wheels though, as the average numbers of cars bought by lottery winners is over six. Take Tom Naylor as an example, the lorry driver from the West Midlands, at the time of his win he won £15,528,286 on Lotto Extra in 2001. He said he wanted a car for every day of the week and that’s just what he did. He bought a Rolls-Royce Phantom, three Jaguars – an XJ, XK and XJ220 – an Aston Martin DB9, a Land Rover Discovery and a Hummer.

In fact, 13% of jackpot winners have bought at least 10 cars since their win, while the average number of cars bought per winning household is 5.17.

 Some winners are clearly on the Kahn Designs train of thought and enjoy living in the fast lane choosing from a shopping list of supercars comprising of the likes of Aston Martin, Bentley, De Lorian, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche and Rolls Royce.

 At Kahn Design we’re currently busy working on the our new online shop, which once ready will allow you to compile your own ‘wish list’, meaning when that day comes and you scoop the jackpot you too can be the proud owner ‘5.17’cars….

Project Kahn Bentley Flying Spur Pearl White Edition

To those who fear Bentley is turning into the footballers’ department of Volkswagen, the new Project Kahn Pearl White Bentley flying Spur possesses’ an unquantifiable amount of magnificence that comes in, large part, from being unashamedly different.

road presence and makes a real style statement.

The most unique feature of the ‘Project Kahn White Flying Spur Bentley’ is the addition of the new “White Mist’ alloy wheel.

The new 22” White Mist diamond cut alloy wheel enhances the Bentley’s elegant curves while embracing the vehicle’s distinct style.

Embellished with a unique geometrical pattern – the White Mist wheel exudes richness befitting a car of this exclusive nature.

Project Kahn Ferrari

Kahn manages to retain the aesthetic integrity and attention to detail of the 599 which consists of a lowered suspension, volume enhanced exhaust system and 20-and 21 inch F1-X Carbon wheels front and rear respectively.

In addition, the F1-X wheel is the first in a pioneering new programme from Kahn Design in order to develop a series of high performance wheels combining carbon fibre with light magnesium alloy.

As one of our more exotic conversions, the Project Kahn Ferrari 599 stands out in the crowd. The Carbon F1-X magnesium alloy wheels certainly compliment the sleek look, whilst the interior completes the whole driving experience.

Available in size, 9.0X20”/10.5X21”/11X20”/12X20”

There are few entrepreneurs who can boast of being the designer of choice for Hollywood actors and Premiership footballers.

The reason is hardly a mystery as Afzal Kahn is among the top five designers of bespoke vehicles in the world.

He excels in taking on world class car brands like Aston Martin, Bentley, and Range Rover, stripping them to the core to create a whole new Project Kahn car. His strength lies in unique wheel designs and state of the art accessories created by his automotive design company in Bradford.

“I love the cars right from the age of 10. As a kid I couldn’t help looking at car dealerships and knowing deep down that I could, in some way, totally re-invent it. That is what we do here with a team of 60 talented staff,” says the 37 –year old design and property tycoon.

A classic example of his genius is in the James Bond car, DB9s, that sells for £120,000 or the swanky McLaren SLR that he cruises in.

His company sells an average of 250 bespoke vehicles a year but Kahn is not one to rest on his laurels. He has developed a parallel property business under Kahn landmark and had a buying power of over £75 million with properties worldwide. He has also stepped into the world of watch design and is on the lookout for a talented fashion designer who can help launch the Project Kahn fashion label.

In January 2007 Afzal made the headlines by snapping up the cherished reg F1 – the most expensive in the UK for a cool £440,625.

F1 now adorns the ground breaking Kahn Cosworth Sport 300. “I wouldn’t call myself a car fanatic but more of a designer. This is taking the luxury 4×4 market to the next stage. The UK has been out of the limelight from the world’s motoring industry for too long, we are aiming to put it back on the map with this innovative new creation. Our select consumers will be delighted to own distinctively styled cars with Cosworth tuned engines.”

The son of an ice-cream man, Kahn recalls the days when he had to go to school in Wellington boots because his family could not afford proper school shoes. But it was his sheer passion and hard work that prevailed.

At the age of 14 he took up his first job selling eggs door to door – far removed from his design ambitions. “Ok, it wasn’t the perfect start but it was while I was walking around selling eggs that I began to aspire to somehow becoming involved in the car industry. I worked for free in the plastic moulding factory in order to get some experience in the manufacturing industry. The hours were long and tiring, but I gained the knowledge I needed and it held me in good stead. That part of my working life is vital. My parents taught me the value of hard work,” he recalls.

"I was the first manufacturer to design a wheel with a spoke that ran to the very edge of the rim. It’s strange that now this particular style has become one of the most replicated in the world. It’s just good to see that all those hours of hard work finally paid off.”

Before long, Kahn had expanded his business from wheels to designing car accessories, exhausts and body kits; In 2001 he set up V12 power Ltd, now one of the most prestigious bespoke vehicle specialists in the UK. But keen to move away from dealing with standard manufactured vehicles, Kahn decided to go one step further and bring his own touch to bespoke vehicles and Project Kahn was born.

Now the most successful automotive design house in the UK, Kahn is adamant that his company ethos remains unchanged.

“The company’s ethos is all about British styling. We make tailored vehicle solutions for bespoke clients who want to break free from the conformities of standard manufacturers. I’ve no interest in bling – other people can do that if they wish. For me, it’s all about meeting people who are creative and talented, coming up with fresh ideas and developing concepts that can take my company forward.

“Don’t listen to anybody who says that you can’t achieve your dreams and be prepared for a hard slog – be prepared to work at a hundred miles per hour,” he stresses.

This is exactly the mantra he has lived by and his list of achievements speak for themselves. As for the future, it’s simple: “I am No. 1 designer in the world and I will remain at the top.” Afzal Kahn was featured on the front page of Asian Enterprise magazine.  Click on the link below to contact Kahn Design:

American property developer – JOHN A. OBERMAN writes about having a Project Kahn Aston Martin Vanquish S in New York.

I've wanted an Aston Martin since I was a kid, growing up; I used to watch Bond movies on TV. Not only was the Aston Martin incredibly stylish, it had all those nifty spy gizmos, like a bulletproof shield, machine guns and a passenger-side ejector seat. It's a boy thing, I guess. You see James Bond, and you want to be just like him. And the Aston became the cool car to have.

I told myself that when I would get old enough and, hopefully wealthy enough, I'd get one.

So when I saw a photo of the Project Kahn Aston Martin Vantage on the cover of a car magazine; I just had to have one!

The intriguing supremo at Project Kahn along with his cool philosophy just enthralled me and I kind of underwent an archeological excavation of memory as I recalled the likes of Moore, Connery, Dalton and now Daniel Craig strutting their stuff.

Its exclusivity appealed to me — the factory in England produces a limited number of Vanquishes a year, each one built by hand. I contacted Project Kahn in July 2008 and two months later – I had my car – right here in front of me!

Let me tell you: drive a Vanquish S once, and you're hooked. The sound of the engine is intoxicating; I smile every time I hear it.

It sounds like a racecar: very guttural, very gritty. When you shift gears at high speed, it almost barks. And it handles like no other car; so smooth and secure that it feels as if the car is glued to the road.

Now driving in New York can be quite intimidating. There are about half a million to three quarters of a million vehicles descending upon this little island of Manhattan every day.

However, I find myself with little choice but to brave the streets of New York in this amazing car, and ever the optimist, from day one – I found driving my Aston Martin S to be an enjoyable experience.

And the Vanquish S looks like nothing else. Even though it's a two-seater, it's a big car: imposing, powerful and sleek, yet not flashy. It's a real head-turner. I often find people crowded around the car, asking questions and wanting to see the bespoke interior.

Some days I drive around all day and on other days I only take it out on weekends. However, people are as intrigued and they always complement those lovely wheels!

I have to admit my love for the car is more visceral than rational. Sometimes I go out to the garage with a glass of wine and just look at it.

You could say I've bonded with a very English car in New York….
