Seven seats, a modified exterior and a luxurious interior. This is what Kahn Design promises with the Bentley Timbuktu Le Mans Edition. The 50-mile demonstrator vehicle is priced at £169,999, which is good value for money. One of the reasons for this is that the modified Timbuktu costs less than a brand new model with the W12 twin-turbo engine.
That's because this new addition to Kahn Design is based on the £135,800 diesel Timbuktu, which shares its 4.0-liter V8 with the Audi SQ7. "With the desire to design a sporty iteration of this highly desirable vehicle," the company, headed by Afzal Kahn, set out to modify it with the Volcanic Rock Satin. The bumper spoiler, rear wing and window surrounds are made of carbon fiber, enhancing the visual image of the car.
Shadow Trim Satin accents the front bumper side sills and rear bumper detailing, while the exhaust system finishes the exterior with a high-gloss shadow. Check out those 10x23" wheels in Diamond Mirror Gloss Black Le Mans alloys for an interior design.
In terms of handling, the MLB Evo platform is prepared with an adjustable lowering module that "allows customers to create the perfect stance or achieve a responsive drive." Moving inside the car, the cabin is paired with Kahn 3D Herringbone black perforated leather, including the steering wheel and all four door panels. The metallic trim is finished in a high-gloss shade, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.
The British company offers virtually unlimited customization options for the Bentley Timbuktu, including quilted nappa leather, alcantara, and more. And of course, the W12-driven models are great for modifications.
