Audi R8 by Project Kahn

Not wanting to alter the clean styling of the R8 significantly, Project Kahn has kept its mods to a minimum

Afzal Khan, owner of the eponymous 'Project Khan' outfit, has unveiled his latest creation in what has come to be a long line of customized luxury supercars. This time around the Project Khan team has taken Audi's popular R8 super-sports car and tinkered with its appearance and handling slightly, although the overall package retains its stock appearance.

The Project Khan modifications to the Audi R8 include a lowered suspension that brings the car even closer to the ground, and according to the Project Khan team the handling has been "considerably improved". The car also gets 20in F1-X carbon-fiber lightweight wheels, which help to reduce weight and thus improves acceleration and cornering.

Project Khan has decided to leave the engine untouched, claiming that there is "no need to even worry about the engine" as it is "without a doubt one of the best engines made today". This is high praise considering that Project Khan has previously completely reworked engines such as the 3.6L diesel unit found in the Range Rover Sport, and even tinkered under the hood of Ferrari's 599 GTB Fiorano.

So... basically they just threw on new rims and called it "special"... I mean yes, those rims are just gorgeous, but if thats all they did, then thats just lazy.

Now, now InkMaster! Dont forget you will also have paid more than the standard car to feel special as well as look special. Using my math thats two specials in one package, now how special is that?
