Crickey it's the Rozzers!

Richard as a Baddie in a Rolls-Royce Ghost
Top Gear UK Fans rejoice! Another thrilling episode of Top Gear UK is on tonight at 9 p.m. on BBC America. This time, the guys head to Albania to test out three super-expensive luxury sedans: the Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG, the Rolls-Royce Ghost, and the Bentley Mulsanne, well when I say the Bentley Mulsanne, I mean a Yugo. You'll see what I'm taking about when you watch it tonight. Then the guys discuss Ferrari's newest creation, the Ferrari FF, which they think looks absolutely fantastic because it brings back the great design that was the shooting brake. Then, Clarkson tests out three high-performance hatchbacks: the Ford Focus RS500, the Cosworth Impreza STI CS400, and the Volvo C30 PCP Polestar, all of which you can't even own. Then, British talk show host Jonathan Ross comes back to Top Gear to set a lap in the Kia Cee'D. It should be one exciting episode. Tune in tonight to see all of the action.

Rover from the Kahn Dynasty

2011 Project Kahn Range Rover RS500 Cosworth
It looks like tuning companies are now tuning diesel cars trying to make them more powerful, and Project Khan and Cosworth have joined the Fray. Now there aren't many tuning companies that can perfect the Range Rover, but these two combined managed to pull it off. The regular Range Rover Vogue TDV8 has a 4.4-liter Turbodiesel V8 einge producing 313 horsepower with a whopping 516 lb.-ft. of torque. Cosworth thought they could do better. So, behind closed doors, they managed to bump the power up by 187 to produce an incredible 500 horsepower Turbodiesel V8 engine. As for the torque, they've decided to keep that hidden, but because this is a Turbodiesel, expect it to be very, very high. Project Kahn helped with the styling and design of the new Range Rover giving it an aggressive bodykit, new 22-inch alloys, and new leather stitched interior, steering wheel, center console, and dashboard. Look for this aggressive Range Rover in the UK only next year.
