105 Longnose

The crazy world of Kahn Design.

This 105 Longnose is a prototype vehicle that was built specifically for the Geneva Motorshow!

The Longnose is in Volcanic Rock Satin with grey deep dish alloys

The interior on this car is one I am really proud of.
The trim used within the vehicle is 100% Lambswool from Abraham Moons,  and contains UK British hide.

The car has a 6.2 litre engine with 430bhp, and an automatic gear box.

Quilted leather roof lining & GTB sport seats with silver stitching.

This car was coach built in the UK, the interior was handmade in Bradford, designed by Kahn Design and was showcased at Geneva. The vehicle is a labour of love for our boss Afzal,  and I love it!

The car is currently for sale and is a unique buy!

Lights Camera Action

This week I thought it would be nice to feature some exciting footage from behind the scenes on a recent movie set.

The film features a Kahn Range Rover RS-650 in Volcanic Rock Satin.

The feature film 'Extremis' will be released later this year.

Extremis is a thriller and has some well know British actors in the line up, including David O'Hara, Neil Pearson & Isabelle Allen.

A short video from our videographer is coming soon....

London Yacht Jet & Prestige Car Show

This week we have been attending the London Yacht, Jet and Prestige Car Show.  

The event is situated at Old Billingsgate Market on the River Thames.

The event has been on since the 8th April, closing today on the 10th at 8pm.  

You do require a ticket to enter the event, however if you are walking along the embankment and fancy a nosy at a Kahn vehicle then we are positioned just outside the main entrance, so you do not require a ticket.

The view from Old Billingsgate over looks the HMS Belfast, Tower Bridge and The Shard. 

Alex & Jamie who are both based in Yorkshire are working at the event!

 If you get chance call down and see the cars, and the guys will be happy to answer any questions.

After my short lived trip to London I am pleased to be back in the office working on some new textiles for the design consultancy and some new lifestyle products!

The office has been brightened up with some spring/summer additions over Easter...

Anyone who follows me on social media may know my news but I thought I had to share it on my blog. I had a very eventful Easter weekend....

The Luxury Network

On Thursday the 19th March, we held a private event in our London showroom on the King's Road . The event was organised through 'The Luxury Network'.
The Luxury network are 'a private consortium of premium brands in each luxury capital of the world.'

The event was a great success and it was lovely to see people networking and making some valuable connections, whilst enjoying our showroom and the luxury vehicles.

 I was at the event representing the 'design consultancy' service that is now available from Kahn Design.   The service is project managed by a designer,   they will be looking at everything from colour schemes, leather upgrades, to unique metal work and embroidery. 

We had many guests at the showroom, from fellow Luxury Network Members to VIP clients. 
A bespoke tailor was in attendance,  Graham from Norton & Townsend. We also had a representative from Blue Harbour Vodka, which sponsored the after party at Le Peep Boutique Park Lane. 

Here are some images from the event at our boutique in Chelsea...

A luxury raffle with prizes consisting of a Kahn Design Swiss Watch, Blue Harbour Vodka & a bespoke suit from Norton & Townsend.

A speech was given from our Marketing Manager Matthew,  who gave details of the vehicles on display.

The event showcased our new Range Rover RS650 in Volcanic Rock, Satin.

We also had the Range Rover Sport 400LE  on show in Aleutian Silver.

Geneva 2015

The Kahn group have just exhibited for their third time at the Geneva Motor Show, and its safe to say it has been the best year yet...

I wanted to do a blog post to show the Kahn team in Switzerland hard at work at the biggest automotive event of the year!

Geneva begins for us months ahead of the show, so here is a photo diary of my Geneva experience.

The majority of the pictures in this blog have been used on our social media pages, so for updates on all things 'Kahn' take a look and follow these accounts on instagram:

Once we were open for business, we began each morning with a team meeting.

There was a lot of press interest due to the unveiling of our new coach built 6x6, the 'Flying Huntsman'. 

Along with all the press interest, we also had a camera crew following our every move... all will be revealed soon enough!

The evenings were a time for everyone to relax and spend some down time together, we were very fortunate to have some beautiful accommodation situated by the Swiss Alps. 

The cars we exhibited were all 'Volcanic Rock'.  This has been the most desired paint finish for the brand in the past few months.

There are more images of the vehicles we exhibited on the website, the majority can also be found on all our social media outputs.

Graham our photographer took some beautiful images not just of our cars, but other vehicles being exhibited. 

For example this lovely McLaren...
