Land Rover's 'Vault on Wheels': The Chelsea Truck Company's Defender 90 Prototype X

Chelsea Truck Company, a division of Kahn Automobiles, has long been celebrated for its bold, custom SUV designs. The Land Rover Defender 90 “Prototype X” stands out as one of their most audacious creations to date, aiming to captivate the sales market.

This exclusive version of the Defender showcases the extensive customization capabilities of the Chelsea Truck Co., featuring a comprehensive body kit modification that transforms its entire facade.

The kit's most striking feature is the enlarged fenders, beginning with box flares and tapering to traditional circular wheel arches. The front end is revolutionized with a redesigned bumper that not only extends in width but also includes a grille mask to enhance the vehicle's assertive look.

This is paired with a double-vented carbon fiber bonnet, reflected by a matching double-pod LED light bar, a dual-finned roof spoiler, and a fortified windshield.

Sitting lower to the ground, the Defender is equipped with 22-inch forged wheels, shod with rugged all-terrain tires. The boxy aesthetic, heightened by the satin black finish, exudes the impenetrability of a vault on wheels.

Beneath the hood lies the heart of the Defender 90 P400 X-Dynamic, driven by a 3.0L turbocharged inline-six engine delivering 400 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. It combines power with presence, justifying its $129,937 price tag.

Afzal Khan, CEO of Kahn Automobiles, praises the vehicle for embodying Chelsea Truck Company's innovative spirit. This unique prototype not only embraces change but does so boldly, ensuring it will stir the interest of collectors. Valued at £105,009, this one-of-a-kind prototype is truly an exclusive collector's treasure.
