Kahn Design has revealed the first official design sketches of their new coach-built model, the Kahn Vengeance WB12.

The Vengeance is based on the Aston Martin DB9 and will keep its existing underpinnings and engine.

However, its exterior is a completely bespoke reimagining.

In an official statement, company founder Afzal Kahn likens the car’s outline to that of a sabre-toothed tiger on the prowl and says that the sportscar, expected to go into very limited production towards the end of the year, is the realization of a life-long ambition.

“I’ve worked in the industry my whole career, and I want to leave a legacy which I can be proud of. The design has gone through several iterations over the years and I’ve taken my time in selecting the right partners to prototype and manufacture the car, ensuring it represents the pinnacle of quality and perfection.”
