Kahn-Cosworth

Certain of us have kept quiet about this forthcoming SuperRRS but since there is a website under construction, the genie seems to be out of the bottle.

http://kahncosworth.com/index.html

560bhp is talked-of, transmitted through what is a matter of conjecture. Kahn and Cosworth are not the only people in the frame either, but you might make an informed guess as who the others might be! (And no, I won't tell you if you ring me up!)

A six-figure price tag might keep the chavs at bay for a bit longer Rolling Eyes What fun! Laughing

Hmmm, I did say "under construction" Confused I am the antithesis of a typical Kahn customer but when an organisation such as Cosworth Engineering forge business links with PK, I for one sit up and take notice. None of my opinions is based on the KC "website", btw, which was something of a surprise to me, to put it mildly!

Is there really a market for a £100,000+ RRS?

I think if I were able to spend that much money on a bespoke car then I would have modified Range Rover before I sank my money into a modified RRS. RRS is a lovely car, but it isn't special enough to warrant having one that costs more than £100,000. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Surely if the RRS is a better driving car then it would be the better one to have modified. The FFRR is never going to be a Cayenne beater performance car wise. So up the performance on the RRS put a FFRR interior in it and a proper tailgate instead of a cortina estate one and there you go!

FFRR now has the DR handling pack of the RRS so handling shouldn't be a problem. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I haven't driven a 2008.5MY FFRR so couldn't compare it to my Tdv8, but I would be very disappointed if a 2008.5MY FFRR rolls around now like my FFRR TD6 did. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I don't doubt it would be better than models without DR but that isn't quite the same as saying is it as good as your RRS.

For me I'd rather have the FFRR but then I'm not bothered so much about sporty handling, I drive a D3 Wink Porsche Cayenne S Diesel 66 Plate

The TDV8 FFRR I had on a recent LRE had DR and it certainly handled much better than a standard boat-spec FFRR, but as P says... not a patch on the RRS really. The FFRR is still considerably higher etc.
