KAHN DESIGN LAND ROVER DEFENDER CHELSEA WIDE TRACK

In the words of Kahn Design, the Chelsea Wide Track Defender is more for elite cultural events and tree lined boulevards than vertical mountainsides and searing desertscapes. So that s its territory defined. Those are 20 inch Mondial rims, finished in piano black with a diamond cut finish. And yes, those are integral spotlights in the Kahn bumper. The front end has also been treated to an X Lander grille and headlamp surround. We have to say it, we think Kahn has done a good job with the Defender.
