The Ineos Grenadier is already a modern homage to the classic Land Rover Defender, but now this rugged British brute has been given an aesthetic and functional makeover by Kahn Design and Chelsea Truck Company – as if Sean Connery were behind the wheel of Lara Croft. Well - something like that - so no one gets it wrong.
When Kahn Design said they would upgrade Ineos Grenadier, they weren't kidding. They presented CTC Ineos Grenadier Series II Expedition, a vehicle that acts as a cross between a military transport and an iron throne. It has been given front and rear riveted fender lining, which would be envied even by the Soviet T-34, they added adapted roof with double skylights, which appear to be peepholes on the bridge, and raised it with a new suspension for extreme off-road.
37-inch arguments for superiority
The most striking are the huge RS-Forged rims with deep concave design, surrounded by 37-inch tires, which scream: “Forget the road, let's go over the Andes!” If we add to this the robust sills, the expeditionary roof rack and the matte body in a military gray tone, it becomes clear - this beast is not just another hipster SUV, but a functional art piece for people who know what the word means. overlanding.
The interior where Indiana Jones wipes his shoes
Inside, the story takes a turn – in the best sense of the word. Recaro sports seats upholstered in handmade Italian Nappa leather, they make you feel like you're sitting in a Milan showroom, not in the middle of a muddy field. The dashboard remains functionally military, but the materials and details are so much more refined that they can be compared to the best German luxury SUVs.
Why is this “CTC Ineos Grenadier Series II Expedition” something special?
- Extreme off-road capability: thanks to the raised chassis and 37-inch tires.
- Aesthetics that stand out: with a combination of industrial design and premium accessories.
- Luxury cabin: where Italian elegance reigns on Recaro seats.
- Uniqueness: each specimen is a product of manual processing, without industrial monotony.

Price of the CTC Ineos Grenadier Series II Expedition? Probably somewhere between a Range Rover and your apartment
Although official prices have not yet been revealed, it is easy to assume, based on Kahn Design's past projects, that this four-wheeled work of art will cost well over 100,000 eurosBut hey – if you're going to want something special, it should be something that can survive a zombie invasion.
Conclusion: brute force that knows how to knock politely
The CTC Ineos Grenadier Series II Expedition isn't for everyone. It's for those who appreciate aesthetics but don't forget that SUV stands for "sport utility vehicle" - not just "suburban useless vanity". It's not just a car - it's a proclamation that says: You can invite me to the opera, but first let me cross the desert.
If you want, I can also prepare a graphic 'spec sheet' and a gallery with comments in the style of "Clarkson's thoughts". Would that suit you?
