The new Land Rover Harris Tweed Edition comes equipped with the classic fabrics and accents tweed is known for. Put together by Kahn Design, this specially designed car exhibits his attention to detail and proves the power of subtle, classy accents.
The interior is customized with the Harris Tweed wool, while the center dash is done in black piano wood. The brake and gas pedals are both machined aluminum. The Land Rover's seats are rear racing seats in black quilted leather and Harris Tweed accents.
On the outside, the Land Rover Harris Tweed Edition boasts extended wheel arches thanks to a re-worked wider body. Four 18-inch alloy wheels are borrowed from the 1983 Defender. The vented headlights are LED and stand next to a stainless steel front grill.
