Okay, usual Kahn fayre on first inspection. Dubious bodykit, quilted leather etc.

But then you see that they have tuned the new 4.4 TDV8 engine to 500bhp?!?!

scratchchin

I know some of the calibration guys on that engine, and if Cosworth have managed to extract another 190bhp from it without some MAJOR internal work i'll eat a monkey's testicles.

I would eat my hat if that thing produces 500 BHP on a set of rollers or an engine dyno for that matter, but lets not let that get in the way of the marketing bods !

I know Kahn are regarded as a bit awful (and I'd tend to agree) but surely Cosworth wouldn't put their name to a lie (even if they have lost the plot tuning diesel LRRR products), would they?

Paint those bumper vents black and I don't think it's a bad looking motor either. Very dealer in black but not awful

I'm not sure, perhaps not that much.
Depends where sourced, transportation cost and so on.

The RS500, from touring car legend to drug dealer's bling wagon.
