Chelsea Truck Company transforms the INEOS Grenadier Grandmaster

The Chelsea Truck Company has added a King’s Road level of opulence to the INEOS Grenadier Grandmaster as part of its latest transformation.

The project has been commissioned through its parent company KAHN design house and combines classic heritage with modern elegance. It uses premium materials and even finer detailing to push the 4x4, known for its off-roading capabilities, into the upper echelons of the luxury market.

Exterior

The Grandmaster’s wide wings and wheel arches have now been given a satin finish with exposed carbon fibre accents as one of a number of enhancements to the vehicle’s exterior. In fact, exposed carbon fibre has been heavily used on a number of new exterior features on the car, including the Dakar Central Lamp Grille, 3-Piece Front Bumper Valance, Wide Wings and 3-Piece Rear Bumper Valance. A gloss black roof contrasts the satin finish and speaking of satin, the 100mm crosshair exhaust system and light alloys are finished in satin black.

There is also an F1-inspired touch, a sport INEOS contributes to with Mercedes. The central roof light with integrated LED light draws inspiration from air intakes seen on Russell and Hamilton cars.

Interior

Inside, the cabin has had a complete redesign and features Volcanic blue Nappa leather seats with CTC branding etched into them. Italian Nappa leather has gone into all the bulk of the upholstery and covers the front and rear door panels, door tops, centre armrest, passenger grab handle and handbrake.
