There are many different ways to modify a classic Land Rover Defender 90 but this is certainly one of the most outlandish. This Defender is the work of Kahn Design in the UK, with the truck being outfitted with one of its crazy widebody kits and repainted in matte silver. The kit consists of a thoroughly updated front fascia with a new grille, tinted headlights LED driving lights, and a steel bumper. The wheel arches have also been flared and there is a new hood with an air intake large enough to swallow up a small child.
Kahn has also equipped the Land Rover with
a set of grey 20-inch wheels with 33-inch Gladiator QR900-M/T tires. There are
also aftermarket rock sliders, new side windows, and a unique rear bumper. The
interior has received just as many changes as the exterior.
Without a doubt, the highlight of the
upgraded cabin is the leather-clad Recaro Sportster seats but there is also a
new tan microsuede headliner, an Alpine sound system, a touchscreen head unit,
a reversing camera, and extra sound-deadening material. Kahn has also bathed
the cargo area with wood, black leather, and microsuede. A Momo steering wheel
is also featured.
The original engine has also been replaced
and there is now a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 supplemented by a 4.0-liter Whipple
supercharger. The Defender 90 was recently sold for US$ 129,000 on Bring a
Trailer, with power sent through all four wheels courtesy of a six-speed
automatic transmission.
