Yahoo Autos A. Kahn Design’s WB12 Vengeance Supercar Coming This Week
Known for its modified Land Rovers and other prestige models, A. Kahn Design recently transitioned to the world of coachbuilt cars with its new range of Flying Huntsman models based on Land Rover Defender underpinnings. Now the British firm has something in the works for performance fans: a new supercar called the WB12 Vengeance.

The WB in the car’s name stands for “Wide Body” while the 12 represents the number of cylinders sitting under the hood. The chassis has been borrowed from an Aston Martin model, and from the teaser shots it’s clear some retro Aston cues have influenced the design. A. Kahn Design CEO and founder Afzal Kahn has previously said the car’s styling has been influenced by the Vanquish, and offers the brutal look he considers the regular Aston Martin lineup to be lacking.
The WB12 Vengeance has been in development for close to six years, and the body, made from lightweight aluminum, was crafted using traditional hammer-formed methods. Production numbers will be limited, with Kahn hinting that just 20 examples will be built.
