Range Rover Evoque: Project Khan Cosworth planned

The Range Rover Evoque by Project Khan with Cosworth Power Azfal Kahn and crew do enjoy tweaking and pimping the products of Land Rover to suit the Tango-skinned inhabitants of Cheshire and Surrey. It started with the Range Rover Sport (the latest version being the Khan RS300) but now extends throughout the entire Land Rover range from the Range Rover to the Freelander 2 (the latest Khan Freelander 2 being the RS200). There is one model in the Land Rover range which hasn’t yet been the subject of Khan’s attention – the Range Rover Evoque.
