2008 Bentley Continental GTS Black Edition by Project Kahn

The ‘Black Edition’ has an eight-piece body consisting of a three piece rear valance, two side skirts, a two piece front valance and a rear boot spoiler. This kit has been developed by our Project Kahn design team and has undergone many hours of testing not only to ensure safety but also to ensure that a perfect fit is achieved for each car.

The ‘Black Edition’ package contains a full interior styling programme which includes a bespoke Project Kahn Luxury Leather upgrade and high gloss piano black interior fascia panels with the optional extras of either a high gloss piano black steering or a carbon fibre finish steering wheel. Each car comes with privacy tinted glass perfectly matched to compliment the cars exterior.

To complete the ‘low to the road’ aggressive stance the ‘black edition’ is fitted with a Project Kahn electronic lowering module. As standard the suspension is lowered by 20mm but this can be adjusted according to the customers’ requirements.

Each ‘Black Edition’ is fitted with the Project Kahn GTS sports exhaust system which provides a slight increase in performance whilst accelerating but more importantly emits a unique sound emanating from the car as a deep rumble.

However the most unique feature of the ‘Black Edition’ is the addition of the new ‘Silver Mist’ alloy wheel.

Silver Mist

As the UK’s leading automotive design house, Project Kahn recognises the importance of dynamic cutting edge designs whilst staying true to the original form.

Bentley owners can now testify to the exuberance of passion and sumptuous beauty of Afzal Kahn’s designs. Our new Silver Mist alloy wheel enhances the elegant curves of the Bentley while embracing the vehicle’s distinct style.

Embellished with a unique geometrical pattern – the Silver Mist wheel has been designed with the American market in mind.

Our elegant and sculpted alloy wheel designs are evolved through skilled artistic innovation, state-of-the art manufacturing and materials technology and the Silver Mist wheel is just the latest of many innovations from the Kahn Laboratories.

The New Silver Mist wheel has a 9.5×22” fitment all round with a ‘wide track look on the rear to provide a more sporty and aggressive feel.

I know I'm going to get deboosted for this but I, personally, LOVE those wheels. They look like you have too much power to drive around on something round.

@ 3pt.,

Personally, I don't like the honeycomb rims. I think it distracts from an otherwise beautiful vehicle. (Can't wait to see after-market knock-offs on 300Cs, Escalades, and Chevy Luminas.)

But you get a +1 from me because I don't think you deserve to be deboosted just because you like them.

There is no way anyone will convince me that Bentley plans to use these tasteless rims.

Kahn fucks up every car he gets his hands on. It started with the Range, which I dont really care for, but now, now he has gone too far. The Bentley doesnt deserve this!

I thought that this looked alright until I saw those rims.

My god those are bad, those are really really bad.

It takes some getting use to. I can't say it's ugly because it's just different. I've always loved the Continental so a bad choice of rim wouldn't deter me from enjoying the looks of one anyhow.

I agree with some of the comments made on this page, yes Khan do have a habit of messing up a cars styling with their wheels, however I think this is the first car they have styled properly. Previously their idea of styling was changing the wheels. In more recent years I have took a liking to their interior upgrades as apposed to their exterior ones, but it must be said this is the first time they have gone to such a level of exterior styling.

I think to understand the styling you have to understand the brand, they are from Bradford, England, and are immensely popular in east/southeast of England. All of their designs have always been heavily Asian (subcontinent) influenced and have great elements of drug dealer/gangster styling and bling. A few years ago Khan wheels became known on the streets as drug dealer wheels. However their more recent market direction proves Khan are trying to raise their game to the next level.

What this means is that their target market for this car are the young and rich as apposed to the old and rich which is what Bentley traditionally is associated with. The wheels do stand out so much they have become vulgar and the body kit adds unnecessary muscular characteristics to the point you start to ask if the car is on steroids, but lets just face the facts; this is by far the best styling job this firm has ever done and is just another chapter in what I am sure will become a legacy. Put it this way, Khan are doing what Bentley can not do because of corporate politics etc and are filling a niche gap in the market, and if you are young/rich and have a spare £70,000 and want to invest in self publicity, this car will get you noticed by every woman between the ages 18 to 30.
