Project Kahn has turned its attention to the Porsche Cayenne, unveiling a bespoke styling package that focuses on visual and interior enhancements. The British tuning firm, known for its work on high-end SUVs and luxury models, announced the new kit in early April 2012.

Exterior changes for a sharper look

The Project Kahn package gives the Cayenne a more aggressive stance. Up front, the SUV receives a redesigned bumper with integrated LED lights and carbon fibre detailing. LED illumination is also installed underneath the vehicle, further accentuating its presence at night. Red-painted brake calipers and a new aluminium exhaust system add to the visual drama, while a revised suspension setup lowers the ride height for a sportier profile.

The most obvious change comes from the 22-inch RS600 alloy wheels, which fill the Cayenne’s arches and set it apart from standard models. These modifications are aimed at owners seeking a distinctive look rather than outright performance gains.

Custom interior by Project Kahn

Inside, Project Kahn has reupholstered the Cayenne’s cabin with two-tone Alcantara in red and black. This theme extends to other interior elements, creating a bespoke feel that matches the SUV’s exterior transformation. The company’s experience with luxury models is evident in the attention to detail and material choices.

No performance upgrades

Project Kahn has not made any changes to the Cayenne’s engine or drivetrain. The package is strictly cosmetic, leaving the SUV’s performance figures unchanged. This approach contrasts with other tuners who offer power upgrades for Porsche’s SUV. For those interested in performance tuning, options from firms such as RUF or Hamann may be more suitable (seeHamann Reveals 2011 Porsche Cayenne Tuning Kit).

Project Kahn’s approach to Porsche customisation

This Cayenne package follows Project Kahn’s established pattern of offering bespoke styling and interior upgrades for premium vehicles. The firm has previously applied similar treatments to Range Rover, Bentley and Lamborghini models, focusing on visual presence and luxury rather than mechanical changes. The kit is available across the Cayenne range, including diesel and petrol variants, but buyers will need to contact Project Kahn directly for pricing and further details.

For those considering alternative visual upgrades for the Cayenne, Lumma Design and Topcar also offer body kits and interior options (seeLumma Design reveals upgrade package for Porsche Cayenne Diesel).
