In order to highlight the most adventurous soul and the legendary 4×4 capability of the iconic Jeep Wrangler, Jeep introduces in Frankfurt the all-new Arctic special-edition model.

The grueling and demanding environments of the arctic offer the type of terrain the legendary Jeep Wrangler was engineered to conquer. Based on the Jeep Wrangler Sahara model, the Arctic’s winter theme is immediately recognizable. The new special edition features exclusive styling cues. The Arctic badge and decal recall the Yeti, the legendary creature that according to folk tradition lives in the uncontaminated nature of the extreme North.

With unique black 17-inch wheels, original Mopar® accessories and an exclusive interior enhanced by distinctive colors and details, Jeep Wrangler Arctic is powered by the new 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 petrol engine matched with the automatic five-speed transaxle or by the 2.8-liter turbo diesel powertrain paired with a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission.

The new Arctic model will be introduced in European Jeep dealerships in the first quarter of 2012 and will be available for Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited.

Afzal Kahn and his team at Project Kahn recently got their hands on a black Jeep Wrangler and promptly transformed the vehicle into a visual icon.

And now the principal British designer have decided to go one step further by introducing a sportier and aggresively smoother version of the vehicle entitled: The Project Kahn Silver Jeep Wrangler.
The vehicle’s comprehensive contour and lowered suspension will no doubt wet the intellectual taste buds of Kahn’s many admirers.

Adorned with RS wheels (9 X 20) – the wheels sit perfectly with the vehicle, conveying the essence of the vehicle’s identity – accommodating original Jeep centre caps, with 275 x 55 x 20 tire sizes recommended by Kahn and his team.

Inside is the expected ‘bespoke touch’ with a whole new personalised bespoke leather treatment complete with an entire interior tailor-made to the customer’s own specifications.

Afzal Kahn believes Project Kahn’s Silver Jeep Wrangler portrays a way of life synonymous with off-road prowess, eccentricity and style:

He said: “This is not only an adventurous vehicle it is a style icon – well groomed and bursting with aggression. The vehicle ascertains personality and strength, and would not look out of place in both rough terrain and the city centre.”

Project Kahn is for the individual who will not submit to a life of uniformity and who will only accept perfection. Dedicated to the creation of luxury bespoke vehicles, we redesign the ordered monotony of mass produced vehicles and rebuild them into individually tailored creations for celebrities and discerning customers who enjoy the finer things in life.

“It was all about the unions. The unions didn’t want to have their very generous contracts renegotiated so we put $80 billion into both General Motors and Chrysler, and anybody believes that Chrysler is going to survive, I’d like to meet them.”

So goes Senator John McCain.

The Arizona senator spoke to The Detroit News while attending a Phoenix racing event.  McCain’s grim prediction comes amid the continually declining state of the Chrysler brand and dismal words for CEO Sergio Marchionne’s business plan.

McCain went on: “We see the automotive industry, and my heart goes out to the citizens of Detroit, really in the tank, and yet we have manufacturing plants all over the South, which are not bound by some of the labor rules and contracts that make them non-competitive.”

After months of wrangling, a deal has been reached for Fiat to acquire Chrysler.  A brief delay from Justice Ruth Ginsberg of the Supreme Court was overcome, with Chrysler proceeding to exit bankruptcy as soon as next week.

Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne is already beginning his own restructure of the Chrysler Group.  The Chrysler, Jeep, and Dodge divisions will now operate separately and have a president/CEO to assume responsibility.  Chrysler’s Jim Press will now report directly to Marchionne on all corporate matters.  Sales guru Steve Landry and head engineer Frank Klegon have been fired.

The key names emerging from this change are Peter L. Fong, Michael Manley, and Mike Accavitti.  Fong will oversee the Chrysler division; he previously handled Ford operations in Philadelphia before leaving to handle Chrysler Mid-Atlantic sales.  Manley, now president for Jeep, manages US sales and global product planning.  Mike Accavitti will be chief exec for Dodge after a history with its motorsports branch.

In the meantime, Marchionne is deciding whether or not to cut the Lancia and Chrysler nameplates.  It’s likely Lancia will be retired, but Chrysler’s still-sizeable minivan share, coming 300 update, and well-received 200C concept (pictured above) are giving the brand a better shot at survival.
