British tuning firm, Project Kahn, is going through a bit of a change. From now on, the company will be called A. Kahn Design, after the owner Azful Kahn, but that kind of news is nowhere near exciting enough to announce by itself, so the company has unveiled the first tuning project under the name: the Range Rover Sport RS300 Cosworth. This vehicle is now on sale for £65,875, or about $103,000 at the current exchange rates.
Thankfully, the only thing that changed about the company is the name; they are still delivering some amazing work. The RS300 Cosworth is painted in an amazing “Fugi White” and includes an eight-piece aerodynamic package consisting of Cosworth vented front and rear wheel arch spats with integrated air dams, LED daytime running lights in the front air dams, a Cosworth front grille with 3D mesh, and new exhaust side vents. The Range Rover Sport sits on a new set of 22″ Kahn RS/R wheels and will be further equipped with a diamond gear selector, RS300 rev counter, Cosworth speedo, Cosworth time clock fascia insert, Cosworth stainless steel door entry sill plates, Cosworth machined aluminum vented foot pedals, Cosworth quad diagonal exhaust system, new calipers, and Kahn branding. For the interior, A. Kahn Design is offering their usual deal; customers can customize it in any possible combination of color and materials.
Range Rover Sport RS300 Cosworth by Kahn Design originally appeared on topspeed.com on Friday, 18 November 2011 18:00 EST.

Ron Dennis made a significant speech at the opening of the McLaren Production Centre, in the presence of British Prime Minister David Cameron. “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to McLaren. I say ?ladies and gentlemen?, because that?s the polite convention but, more importantly, you?re all policy makers, industry leaders, influencers and opinion-formers. Welcome to you all. [...]

Marussia Virgin Racing unveiled their 2011 challenger at BBC Television Centre in London on 7th February 2011.
The Virgin MVR-02 is designed by Nick Wirth for the 2011 Formula One season. Like its predecessor, the Virgin VR-01, the MVR-02 is designed entirely with computational fluid dynamics (CFD), with Nick Wirth’s Wirth Research design studio doubling their CFD capacity ahead of the 2011 season.
As compared to its predecessor, as well as many of the current F1 challengers , the new MVR-02 presents a lower nose design, while also featuring a tighter rear section. As far as the livery for the 2011 F1 season goes, Virgin’s partnership with Marussia Motors reflects in a slightly different color scheme, with some white added to the front of the car’s nose.The air intake on the front nose has been designed to resemble the one on Marussia’s road car, the Marussia B2.

Virgin MVR-02 ? Exhaust Positioning (Scarbsf1′s Blog)
“One detail of note on the car was the exhaust system. Already the buzz word at every launch, the exhaust mates the simpler diffuser to help produce downforce. In Virgins case they have extended the exhausts to blow over the diffuser. Nick Wirth did confirm a Renault style front exit was simulated, but the more conventional approach has been adopted on the launch car at least.”

I built this many years ago, and had it out to clean the display case today. Since it has never been shared online, I thought I would do that as it is not a commonly seen model. It is built out-of-the-box.
