British Tuner Project Kahn Releases A5 Tuning Package

We've spent some quality time with the S5, and after doing so CarThrottle is a definitely a fan of Audi's A5/S5 lineup. For 2012 (model year 2013 in the United States) the car has been updated with a mid-cycle enhancement.

Before this hits the market though, Project Kahn, headed up by Afzal Kahn, has released a new tuning package for the standard 2011 A5 Coupe.

The effort turns up the A5's aggressiveness quotient significantly, borrowing from the R8's signature styling cues to do so. It reminds me a lot of some of the A5-based "Ur-Quattro" renderings we've seen thrown around.

Up front there is a new fascia, with black grille and red surround. R8-like air inlets dominate, and black trim sits just below the headlights. The 21-inch lightweight wheels are new, and fill up the wheel wells nicely. Out back, the car adopts vents under the taillights, and the center area between the taillights is blacked out for an aggressive look.

To top it off, the car is finished in a matt pearl gray finish that looks great in concert with the blacked-out elements. No pictures are released of the interior, but changes are few: aluminum pedals, new instrumentation, and if you so desire, an all-leather interior finished in any color you'd like.

The Kahn-tuned A5 is available from a starting price of £21,875 (around US $35,000 uSD at current exchange rates). And yes, we'd imagine that is the price for just the modifications....so if you have an A5 or S5 and want these modifications, be prepared to pony up.
