Fresh from unveiling its latest version of the
Project Kahn RS300, the pimper of Range Rovers has announced it will be giving a Cosworth overhaul to the new Evoque.
So far all we have is this side-on teaser shot, and Kahn has given away precious little detail on the planned project.
The image shows a five-door Evoque, though it's likely the three-door will get the treatment too. If it goes anything like the Range Rover Sport based RS300, a Cosworth fettled 300bhp diesel V8 will slot under the baby's bonnet. However, some reports suggest that a 237bhp 2.0-litre Ford EcoBoost unit is on the cards instead, as the V8 may be a little large.
The suspension and steering will no doubt get a tune up to satisfy Cosworth's requirements, just as the wheels and arches will swell significantly to satisfy Project Kahn's.
It will all add up to one big baby, and probably the most terrifying one since Chucky from Child's Play.
