What do you get when a German tuner hooks up with a British designer? Sounds risky, doesn't it?
What you get first is a Kahn set of wheels. Specifically, Kahn RSL 9 X 21 matte black in the front and 10.5 X 21 at the rear. Project Kahn also provides some interior design on this Mercedes S Class, with a full bespoke leather package and other unspecified cabin detailing.
Lorinser provides the rest of the restyling through added body paneling, which from the photos we can see are side air vents and subtle new skirting all around that give the design a softer, more grounded look.
"This project is without a doubt the perfect blend of British and German styling and it will certainly ensure a great deal of customer satisfaction," says Marcus Lorinser, head of German tuner Lorinser, who has partnered with Project Kahn on this Mercedes S Class.
Well, you can view the results right here and judge for yourself.
