Kahn has revealed the pricing for its Flying Huntsman, which is basically a heavily modified six-wheel Land Rover Defender.

Even though it costs the equivalent of around R4 million, it’s still only half as much as the Mercedes G-Class 6×6 AMG.

The modifications to the mechanicals are quite extensive, but the most important is the fact that Kahn replaced the 2,2-litre Puma turbodiesel with a 6,2-litre GM that has well over 300kW on tap. That’s still some way off the Merc’s 420kW, but not bad for a car that costs half as much.

To ensure that you can always enjoy the glorious soundtrack, the Flying Huntsman features a stainless steel exhaust system.

You could likely import one if you wanted to, but expect it to cost around R8 million thanks to transport and import costs.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
