Coming to the interior its essentially a combination of black and white colors. Black leather of the finest quality is stitched with contrasting white stitching. The RS200 logo adds a touch of style to the interiors. The white contrast stitch also abounds on the steering wheel. However, some shades of red comes into the picture in the speedometer and rev counters that is essentially red and white.
The complete RS200 is priced at a very reasonable £29,995 which includes £10,000 worth of Project Kahn accessories.
Project Kahn will shortly be announcing another addition to the RS series.

Compact hybrid Range Rover LRX gets green light
According to the report, Land Rover will borrow liberally from corporate partner Jaguar's hardware stable, which is rumored to soon include both hybrid and extended-range EV options. Land Rover's innovative electric drive rear axle is supposedly on the LRX menu, which would work along with the automaker's well-known and highly-effective Terrain Response System to put power to the ground wherever possible.
If there's any truth to these rumors, we shouldn't expect Land Rover to have the hybrid LRX in production until at least two years have passed. In the meantime, the British-built, Indian-owned automaker is set to debut stop/start and regenerative braking on all of its models to improve their environmental performance.
Automakers that hope to continue doing business over the next few years need to be increasingly aware of their fuel consumption, emissions and environmental credibility. In deference to this fact, Auto Express in the U.K. is reporting that Land Rover is moving forward with plans to launch the new LRX compact hybrid 'ute, possibly with a bit of help from the U.K. government.

Ratan Tata seeks U.K. aid for Jaguar Land Rover

Jaguar Land Rover could make further job cuts unless the British government provides financial aid to the brands, Ratan Tata, chairman of Tata Motors, said today in a television interview.
Tata said Jaguar Land Rover needs £500 million ($734 million) in loan guarantees from the British government. "If funds are not available the company will not be able to run," he said. "So layoffs will take place."

New Details and Spy Photos for Range Rover Facelift
Fresh spy shots of a facelifted Land Rover Range Rover have emerged. The current model of the big luxury SUV has been on the market for the past seven years. It had a mild facelift in 2006.

A brand new Range Rover is only expected to start selling in the year 2011 as a 2012 model year so this second facelift is more like a stop-gap to prolong the lifespan of the current car. Due to hightened environmental concern the next-generation Range Rover is getting downsized. It was recently announced that the production version of the LRX concept which was unveiled in Detroit 2008 will inherit the Range Rover name.

The Range Rover is expected to get a couple of new engines, one of which is already fitted to its Jaguar XF cousin. This particular engine is the AJ-V6D Gen III 3.0-litre V6 twin turbo diesel which is found in the new XF Diesel S. It produces 275PS (202kW) and maximum torque of 600Nm. Such a torque figure would be quite suited to a vehicle of this size. The AJ-V6D Gen III S Diesel replaces the 2.7-litre that was popular with Jaguar S Type buyers.

These new images reveal a bit more exterior detail than previous spy shots. They show a front bumper with new fog lights and newly-designed rear lights. The front end is getting LED daytime running lights while the rear lights also get LED technology. Changes to the interior will only be minor because this part of the car was recently upgraded with higher quality materials.

Range Rover Vogue Updated by Project Kahn

The Range Rover Vogue comes with a new Kahn body kit and a whole new personalized treatment on the interior cabin. Inside is the expected "bespoke touch" with a piano black finish but one tailor-made to the customer's own specifications.

The multi-spoke wheels with studded edges are derived from the original Kahn RS-L but designed specially for this Range Rover Vogue. With a titanium silver finish conveying the essence of the Vogue's identity, the wheel are also made to be fitted with several original center caps.

On the outside are the goodies from Kahn, as always. Along with the body kit they include a sports exhaust system and, the essence of Project Kahn tuning, those 22-inch alloy wheels made by Kahn.

It's those Kahn wheels that mark the Vogue as something unique. It's like the car is wearing very expensive jewelery. If flashy bodywear is your style, then Kahn is your tuner.

Project Kahn has announced its newest Range Rover Vogue edition and promises a more distinguished level of customization.

Range Rover Sport limousine with 6 wheels!

Some information is lacking, unfortunately, on this extremely prolonged Range Rover Sport. But it looks very brutal off. Certainly with that hip golden color.

The conversion is done by the English Vantage International Field that we still know of the Maybach 72. But personally I think this Range Rover with 6 doors and as many wheels a lot bolder. And it is obviously a piece civilized than some HUMMER H6.

Spy: Range Rover Sport facelift in the UK

This model faces some pretty stiff competition in the marketplace. Models such as the BMW X5 and X6 and the Audi Q7 come to mind. One may ask if Tata Motors is doing enough to keep the aging Range Rover Sport competitive in its segment. But, hey, its a Range Rover, with all the romance of stalking across the African continent that entails. Maybe that'll do until the next generation Range Rover Sport comes along.

Also, a new 5.0 liter V8 engine is likely to be coming with this upgrade, probably to replace the current 4.2 liter V8. No real details on power output have been leaked or made public but it suffices to say a supercharged 5.0 liter will have considerably more horses.

Land Rover may also replace the current 2.7 liter diesel available in the Range Rover Sport with a new 3.0 liter turbocharged V6.
