These are the world�s first official photos of the Cosworth-tuned Range Rover Sport built by A Kahn Design.

The Kahn Cosworth Sport 300 is fitted with the Range Rover Sport�s 3.6-litre TDV8 diesel engine, which Cosworth has tuned from 268bhp to 300bhp.

While Cosworth have tuned the engine, the Range Rover�s cosmetic designs have been modified by A Kahn Design.

The Yorkshire-based bodywork specialist has fitted a large rear spoiler, flared wheel arches and aggressive front spoiler with the luxury off-roader rolling on a set of 22-inch alloy wheels with the rear wheels more deeply dished than the front for a more aggressive look.

The Cosworth power upgrade accelerates the Kahn Cosworth Sport 300 from 0-62mph (100kph) in about 8 seconds and on to a top speed of 135mph � up from 8.6 seconds and 130mph.

A Kahn Design was founded in 1998 by Afzal Kahn, who hit the headlines earlier this year when he forked out £375,000 for the registration plate �F1� which he fitted to his 207mph Mercedes McLaren SLR.

British company Cosworth is a famous name in world motorsport, providing engine for a host of F1 teams between 1969 and 2007 � with a host of cars winning championships in the Seventies.
