A. Kahn Design — commonly known as Project Kahn — has revealed a new bespoke Range Rover Evoque. When British designer Afzal Kahn took a pen to the Range Rover Evoque Coupe, he did so with respect to the Evoque's existing contours. The end result is subtle, but effective. Of course, buyers will get their own say in how the finished vehicle will look. Roof and exterior details can be painted to suit the owner, and the interior treatment can be equally unique.
