Default Project Kahn Aston Martin Vanquish S Spotting

I saw a great car today, its called an Aston Martin Vanquish S modified by Project Kahn :arrow: http://www.projectkahn.com
I first saw the car at a junction and then it followed us up a dual carriageway and passed at a circle then we chased it up the dual carriageway and caught up with it at another circle. I then noticed it was turning right and that was the direction we were going so we followed it a little up a road and it stopped. I immediately got my dad to stop the car and i got out and rushed over to it and started taking pics. I couldnt believe a Vanquish S was sitting right there , you dont see that many supercars in scotland. While i was taking pics i guy walked over to the car and talked to the people inside then they got out and were fiddling with something in the car then they all got in and started the engine up (thats when i started video) then he revved the engine up again and got out. The driver then sorted the fuel cap which had been sitting up all the time i saw the car. He then jumped back in started the engine and drove off.

(Thats the short story of what happened )

Here are some pics :-

Don't like the wheels, but that's rare, so it's all good. I just wonder why it has a Vanquish grille at the front (the S one has less horizontal elements)

Nice spot!

The Kahn team have managed to get their rims on almost every car... 360s, 996TTs, Astons, Lambos etc...

I've not been impressed with most of their design, but the vanquish S is so rare that it still looks great 8)

Very nice!
Isnt the Kahn a normal Vanquish but with the S styling and not the performance mods?

Nah... it's got the wide-body of the S - Kahn only adds a skirt here or there, and is mainly about lowering/wheel mods

I'm pretty sure its a Vanquish S

Click Aston Martin > Vanquish S w/ RS-V > Click Car in Black near bottom of frame

Pretty sure it's this car

Awesome sighting .. Although I think the normal S is better looking.

great sighting. I actually like the rims, it makes the car (in cooperation with the lowering) look even meaner

Thans for the vid btw
