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….

Smart Roadster Light

The Smart Roadster is a cracking drive and this entry-model is perhaps the best. It makes do with skinnier tyres fitted on non-alloy wheels over other Roadster models, this actually allowing you to enjoy the driving experience further. It no longer has such a vast surplus of grip, feeling more poised and fun as a result. It really does work best as a pared to the bone driving machine, after all you’ll hardly have bought the Roadster for practical reasons. All it’s missing is a CD player, and that can be specified for very little. Otherwise it’s got the essentials like air conditioning and remote locking.

The cleverly evolved new ‘Smart RSL Wheel’ (Diamond Cut) by Project Kahn wheels gives the Smart Roadster Light a fresh and masculine appearance whilst retaining its unmistakable character.

Complete with maximum agility, safety and ecology, the stunning Kahn 6.5×17 – 7X17 Wheel bestows an aura style and self-expression:

Mini One

The 1.3-litre petrol engine might not have the power of its hot relatives with only 90bhp, but it’s got more mid-range pull than its busy, revvy relatives. That makes it a more relaxed daily driver, and without the massive wheels, rubber band tyres and stiffer suspension of the Cooper and Cooper S models it’s got a far more pleasing ride, too.

Still great fun to drive, and cheaper to insure you can spend the money you save on buying a Cooper and go daft with a set of project Kahn’s RSS sheels:

Caterham Seven 1.4 Classic

1.4-litres in a sports car might seem a bit lacking, but when the car is a Caterham it’s more than enough. With 105bhp on tap the 1.4-litre Classic can sprint to 60mph in just 6.5 seconds, though it feels much, much quicker due to being sat so close to the road and exposed to the elements. Any Caterham has the ability to thrill, embarrassing everything out there for driver feedback, feel and involvement. The £3,000 more required for the 115bhp 1.6-litre Roadsport shaves 0.2 of a second to 60mph and 2mph more on the 110mph top speed of the 1.4 Classic, but really you’ll be hard pushed to notice the difference. For an inexpensive thrill ride on road or track the Caterham Seven is unsurpassed. That it’s available for so little only makes it more appealing.

Porsche 911 Carrera

We’ve never been to quiet in our praise of all things 911 and the latest 997 series model is little different. Interestingly, Porsche now offers two versions of 911, the Carrera and Carrera S. So what’s the difference? The S gets a bigger 3.8-litre engine allowing it to sprint to 60mph in 4.8 seconds instead of the still rapid 5.0 of the Carrera. On the road though few will find the standard Carrera wanting for anything, it feeling just as quick as its bigger-engined alternative. Indeed, its standard suspension and slightly smaller wheels give it a suppler ride.

Furthermore, a set of Kahn F1-X wheels wouldn’t go amiss.

Audi TT 150 Roadster

The TT might be omnipresent in the smarter parts in town, but there’s no denying it’s enormous appeal. Not only does it look sensational from the outside, but the interior is also a sight to behold. Since its introduction Audi has released more and more models, thankfully not all of these being more expensive versions. Entry-level Roadster buyers are offered a 150bhp front-wheel-drive model complete with Kahn RSL 9 X 21 matte black in the front and 10.5 x 21 at the rear:

By taking a more featherweight approach the Audi A8 by Kahn wipes the floor with all other contenders — in the eco-friendly stakes at least.

The all-aluminum body means a significant saving in weight — a crucial element in cutting emissions. Coupled with the Kahn Design electric lowering module – the A8 has an efficient 2.8-litre petrol engine that emits CO2 at a rate of just 199 g/km, a 11 g/km advantage over others in its class. NOx emissions are also low and, since it’s petrol, you don’t have to worry about particulates. Welcome to the most eco-friendly luxury car you can buy.

The A8 is a joy to drive, too. The standard air suspension has four settings that let you tailor the car’s set-up depending on your needs. Road noise is virtually absent; it’s only when you concentrate that you can hear the wind fluttering over the windscreen. Performance is surprisingly sprightly: the 0-62mph sprint is done and dusted in 8.0 seconds.

Is it any wonder the Audi A8 was was given accolade of the ‘Most Efficient Luxury Car’ at the What Car? Green Awards 2008?
