Bigger profit margin too, it's easier to resell a tarted up Pure at 44k rather than a tarted up Dynamic at 52K+. They have 50 Evoque's being delivered this year.

Ordered: 25th Jan 2012 - Completed: 8th March 2012

Dynamic Coupe SD4 Auto / Fuji / Pano Roof / Tech Park 2 / Style 6 Alloys / Privacy Glass / Adaptive Xenons / Black H'lining / Cold Climate Pack / Auto-dim Mirror / Aux Heater / Roof Rails / Mud-flaps

Yes, good point. Just seems odd that they've missed the basics like the fog lights based on the market you'd assume Kahn were aiming at.

50 cars - wow - thats very interesting so we should expect some more variations...

RE: Project Kahn Evoque

I just don't understand what Kahn are trying to achieve here. It's a LR, not a boutique car or a Corgi toy. I'm obviously missing the point!

Arrived 16 December 2011: Prestige SD4 auto 5dr in OG with Adaptive Dynamics, Adaptive Xenons, Surround Cameras, Auto Dimming Rearview, Grey Oak Wood, Spare Wheel and Powered Tailgate.

Joining 2010 Freelander XS Td4e in Stornoway Grey (we like Grey!)

The only thing left for Kahn is a pair of wings. It just might make in the James bond movies......

Got mine : Dynamic Fuji White with Lux Pack and black contrast roof.
Optional extras : Privacy glass, Heated steering wheel and TPMS.
Me: Very HappyVery Happy

The interior in that car looks awful, it looks fairly low quality too.

and we now have a Vesuvius Edition for the Evoque.

what the f*ck have they done to the exhaust tips... it looks like a fan!

Evoque Round 2: Fuji Si4 Dynamic - 5dr. Pursuit interior. Dynamic Tech Pack. Adaptive Xenons. 19in Standard Alloy wheels. Twisted Evil
Contrast black roof (to be painted soon). (Previously a Firenze Pure owner - still my favourite colour Wink)

RE: Project Kahn Evoque

The colour suits the car. One thing about Vesuvius though is that to look that colour the sun has to be shining, most of the time in the UK it looks greeny brown.


The "fans" in the exhaust though hark back to the days many years ago (well the 1970's) when there was a device that you stuck on the tailpipe to enhance fuel economy by sucking the exhaust out as you drove along.......... I wonder why it never caught on?

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

Wonder if they have any rattles?

RE: Project Kahn Evoque

Bump for an old thread since it's regarding the same subject matter...

Hello - I've been in contact with Kahn and got the part list & prices if you'd like to upgrade any of the components.

If anyone is interested you can send me a PM.
