British design house Kahn
has presented a new take on the original Land Rover Defender under the
guise of the Chelsea Truck Company, which is one of Kahn's sub-brands
for off-road vehicles. Aptly named the XS 90, the revamped three-door Defender
is finished in an Orkney Grey color with contrasting satin black
details that include the mesh headlamp and front grille protectors, side
steps, bumpers, mirror caps and the Kahn design 18-inch alloy wheels
wrapped in BF Goodrich tires.
A
lot more work went into the interior that was refashioned from top to
bottom sporting front and rear racing car seats in quilted red leather
and contrast stitching, with the same material also used on the door
panels, the padded armrest, gear lever, roof lining, sun visors and
sections of the dashboard.
The steering wheel rim is dressed in grey Alcantara while Kahn added a red fascia to the speedometer and rev counter.
There
are no upgrades under the hood with the XS 90 offered with the stock
2.2-liter turbo diesel rated at 120hp (122PS) and 265 lb-ft (360Nm),
coupled to a six-speed manual transmission.
