A BRADFORD car design firm has teamed up with Aston Martin to produce a limited edition supercar.

Afzal Kahn, owner of Kahn Design, described revealing the Vengeance as the "realisation of a dream".

The car will be manufactured in the Midlands, in a nod to the region's history as the heartland of the British automotive industry.

Each one will be hand-built by a Kahn Design team of craftsmen and automotive experts, and will carry an engraved plaque in the boot bearing the names of every member of the British team who worked on the car.

The Vengeance is described as "a wide body two-door coupe, with a muscular, aggressive design evoking the silhouette of a sabre tooth on the prowl".

Mr Kahn, a supercar owner since his late teens, said: "Launching the Vengeance is the realisation of a dream I’ve had since childhood, to design and produce my own car.

"I’ve worked in the industry my whole career, and I want to leave a legacy which I can be proud of.

"The design has gone through several iterations over the years and I’ve taken my time in selecting the right partners to prototype and manufacture the car, ensuring it represents the pinnacle of quality and perfection."

He added: "I’ve kept every aspect of the underlying car, from the crash structures to airbags - mechanically it's unaltered. Why change perfection? This is coach-building in its traditional sense - taking a tried and tested product and working solely on the aesthetic.

"The Vengeance underlines Kahn Design's expertise in design and coach-building.

"Aston Martin has always been an inspiration, in particular the early Vanquish and the V600 Vantage wide bodies, and I’m grateful for its agreement, and for wishing us success on this project.

"The Vengeance pays homage to those classic designs while using modern engineering to create something unique and original which reflects my own style."

The price of the Vengeance is yet to be confirmed, nor are certain details, although a spokesman for Kahn Design said: "It's highly likely it will keep the existing DB9’s 5.9-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine, which produces 510bhp and is capable of pushing the DB9 to 62mph in 4.6 seconds."
