There's a grand tradition to enormously powerful and torquey diesel sport-utes. Most of them come from the group – like the V10 or the V12 TDI – but this, as you might have guessed, is no VW. It's a , uut one that's been thoroughly worked over.

Their latest product started life as the thoroughly capable and luxurious with the 4.4-liter V8 diesel. With 313 horsepower, the diesel Rover is hardly a slouch, but Cosworth has taken it a step further (and then some) by squeezing out a whopping 500 horsepower.

To go with the massive upgrade in output, Kahn has given the Range Rover an extensive cosmetic update both inside and out, with new bumpers from and rear, side skirts, 22-inch wheels and an interior decked out in billet aluminum and perforated & quilted leather trim.
