    Project Kahn have always prided themselves on producing extremely exclusive vehicles but recently they have turned their hands to prestige marques. One of the latest concepts from Project Kahn is the Bentley Continental GT. The stunning looks of this car cannot be disputed. However they can be improved.

    Kahn have a reputation for producing the most stunning cars on the road with exclusive Kahn extras, and the Bentley Continental GT is no different.

    The newest wheel in the Kahn range, the RS-X, has been specially developed for the Bentley range including the Continental GT. The fitment for the RS-X is 9x21” (Front) and 10.5x21” (Rear). As well as the new RS-X the RS-V is also available. The RS-V, for the Bentley GT is 9x20” all round. The wider setting on the rear, with the RS-X gives a truly stunning “wide track” look. Either alloy provides a unique look.

    Another addition to the GT is the Kahn boot spoiler which not only adds to the looks of the car but also to the vehicle aerodynamics. Further to these additions, Kahn have also produced a lowering module especially for the Bentley range as well as privacy glass.

    When you combine all of these superb additions you are given a car with looks that are beyond belief together with handling that you simply cannot achieve with a standard Continental GT.

    i don't get it, bigger wheel and a lip spoiler make it better??? what's the achievment?

    Genaddi design group, more involvement. alot are like MTM, wheels, computer program and new exhaust. it just doesn't say to me a new anything, slighty modified if anything. but nothing ground breaking. ah well i'm just not easy to impress.

    If the wheels are heavier and the spoiler lip (isnt it more of a gurney flap than a spoiler?) gives more drag these "improvements" will actually degrade the performance.....who on earth would pay thousands to make their car slower!......no doubt several footbalers will be waiting for their's!

    Considering this car has a rear spoiler that comes up on speed I can't imagine that lip spoiler would actually help drag and the wheels are a personal thing. Not bad but a lot of hype for some wheels and a lip spoiler.

    RE: Tire width, the Viper rears are 13" I believe - Murcies/Diablos are as wide, or wider

    RE: This car. I laugh when I see these "tuners" talk about how they are "producing vehicles". No, you are sticking stuff on the car, not producing a vehicle. Producing a vehicle involves casting engine blocks, forming panels, injection molding many parts, machining parts, doing FE analysis on structures, fasteners and welds and much more. Being a tuner involves buying stuff from a catalog or machining parts to stick on a car. The former is vehicle production, the latter is accessorizing.

    There's nothing wrong with accessorizing, but don't paint a car red, tint the windows, throw on some "dubs", and put a machined signature plaque on the dash and call it a new marque - just call it an accessorized OEM car.

    Game on, the XJ220 wheel is 14".

    I bought one for the pool room as a cue holder!

    Steve, i do like the GT after their work but like the others, I agree. All they have done is fit wheels, put a lip spoiler on it, tint the windows probably for 10 times the price that any of us could get it done for and lastly change the suspension either by new springs or shocks etc. Loving those wheels though, the flying spur looks good too and the 997!
