Default cosworth range rover - horrid!

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/EDITORIA...nge_rover.html

i hate it, i think they have let some spotty 17 year old design the body kit
Cosworth have "tuned" the engine from 286bhp to 300bhp....wow huge increase then

32 horses is hardly a tune....decent air filter and a few other standard tuning bits would release that and some. DMS can get more with just a remap and leaving everything else as is.

thumbs up to cosworth. they only did the engine!and 300bhp diesel is some achievement

the styling is nothing to do with cosworth its styled buy a company called kahn design, theyve been doing it to rangeys and discos for years! they are an independent company but are landrover approved, thus the warrenty remains

but this is the 1st package to offer cosworth tuning.

would be pretty cool if body was left standard, with the kahn handeling package and the cossie 300 diesel

The bumper makes it looks like the sort of kids toy you can win at a pikey fair with a bamboo fishing rod.

A 268bhp Diesel engine is some achievement.

Squeezing 32 more BHP out of it isn't as tremendous an effort as you'd expect considering the pedigree of the tuner and the extra premium. I'd hope any tuner could release that from the engine for a lot less outlay. But then I suppose the warranty stays intact with this one

The engine is a 3.6 V8 diesel, it can be tuned for way more power than that.
Over 350bhp can be had very easily from them if you use decend parts and get the remap done properly

Its styled by KAHN. Need any more be said??

they make some of the worst styling crap for Range Rovers ive ever seen!

I went to the Kahn HQ about 6 years ago and they had a Lamborghini Diablo in their warehouse with flat tyres - When I asked why the tyres were flat, I was told that they don't often use the car, as it's only used to pick people up from the airport when they want to look important and professional!!!

The head man openly admitted that he started out in business by ripping off other people's bodykits and selling them cheaper. The same with their alloys - The well known Kahn RSR wasn't actually their design.

Credit to them for convincing the world that they're Aston/Bentley/Range Rover specialists though! It's a long way from copying an MCR bumper!

no joke, being a landy owner i buy the landrover mags now and then and ud be supprised how many people are actually willing to buy that extra plastic shite and pay through the nose to have it.


comment about the lambo flat tyres was funny.....they obviouslt havnt had anyone important proffesional come to visit them latley (how long doe it take for 4 tyres to sit n go flat) then

as for the cossie part, does anyone know the torque increase. and more importantly if they can boast about a change in fuel economy??

if u ask me cosworth probably didnt have much to do with the tuning, more like kahn have givven them a wedge of cash to use their name to boost sales?
