Dakar Rally Edition Range Rover Evoque

Created as a special edition for the iconic Dakar Rally, the KAHN® Range Rover Evoque Dakar Edition redefined what a performance SUV could be. At a time when few design houses dared to blend luxury craftsmanship with true off-road purpose, KAHN® stepped forward with a vision that balanced form, function and fearless capability.

This one-of-one three-door Evoque was finished in Santorini Black over our signature Vesuvius Orange, creating a powerful contrast that captured the spirit of adventure. Sitting on 20" RS wheels wrapped in all-terrain tyres, the Evoque Dakar Edition looks every bit as ready for the dunes as it does for the city.

The vehicle was comprehensively re-engineered with performance suspension upgrades, a custom front bumper with daytime running lights, wide wheel arches, a bespoke grille, and an LED light bar to illuminate even the most demanding landscapes. A rear roof wing completes the dynamic silhouette.

Inside, the cabin showcases KAHN’s signature handcrafted leather interior, combining refined materials with functional design to deliver comfort and control in equal measure.

Born from the desert, shaped for the city. The KAHN Evoque Dakar prototype reimagines the compact SUV with rally-inspired strength and refined British design.

Created for Afzal Kahn’s television series, this concept draws from Dakar endurance vehicles and luxury GT influences. With a bold stance and purposeful detailing, it merges capability with craftsmanship, capturing the balance between exploration and elegance.

Filmed on location in Marrakesh, the Evoque Dakar prototype celebrates adventure, design freedom, and the pursuit of individuality that defines KAHN.

Frequently Asked Questions

1) How do I choose the right Defender alloy wheels for my vehicle? Match new wheels to your Defender's factory specifications (diameter, width, offset, bolt pattern) found on the driver's door label or owner's manual. Contact us if unsure; we can guide you to the correct fitment.

2) Can I fit larger alloy wheels on my Defender? Yes, larger wheels can enhance stance, but maintaining the correct rolling diameter is crucial for steering, speedometer accuracy, and ride comfort. Consult our specialists before upgrading.

3) What’s the difference between steel and alloy wheels? Steel wheels are heavy and durable. Alloy wheels, like ours, use lightweight aluminum for better handling, suspension performance, and corrosion resistance. They offer a more refined, premium look suited to the modern Defender.

4) How do I maintain my Defender alloy wheels? Clean weekly with a pH-balanced, acid-free wheel cleaner to remove brake dust. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive brushes. Consider a protective coating to preserve the finish.

5) How can I protect my wheels from damage? Avoid hitting curbs and potholes. Maintain correct tire pressure, as underinflation can cause rim damage. Regularly inspect for cracks, bends, or corrosion during cleaning.

6) Why choose RS-Forged or Forged wheels for my vehicle? What are the main benefits? Both RS-Forged and fully forged wheels offer significant advantages over traditional cast wheels. They are made using advanced forging methods where the alloy is compressed under extreme pressure. This process makes the metal denser and stronger, resulting in wheels that are lighter, tougher, and more resistant to impact or cracking. The reduced weight improves handling, acceleration, and braking, while the increased strength allows for more intricate designs. Overall, forged wheels provide a superior balance of performance, durability, and craftsmanship.
