Range Rovers have always been rich territory for tuning companies, and the latest from Kahn Design is the Cosworth Sport RST 300.
Kahn has developed a styling kit for the new Range Rover Sport HST that includes a carbonfibre bonnet, carbonfibre wheelarch extensions, all-new carbonfibre bumpers front and rear, and twin carbonfibre tail spoilers. The carbonfibre is wowen into a check pattern and left lacquered but unpainted on its panels to give an expensive and unusual look.
The rims are also pretty special, lightweight forged 22in aluminium wheels that, Kahn claims, save 10kg of unsprung mass per corner. Who really cares as they look mental.
The top spanners at Cosworth are responsible for teasing an extra 32bhp and 118 lb ft of torque from Land Rover’s 3.6-litre TDV8 engine for this car. Not really a massive change in everyday driving but the increased torque is deep. It’s half a second faster than a standard Range Sport V8 diesel over the 0-60mph dash, 5mph faster at the top end, and pulls much harder between 2500 and 3500rpm.
