The man behind Kahn Design, Chelsea Truck Company and the famous F1 number plate joins Ben in the van to reveal the decisions, risks and obsession behind his automotive business.
From investing £500,000 into wheel manufacturing to creating the Aston Martin Vengeance, Kahn explains how he built his brands — and why designing something he loves can matter more than making a profit. He shares the story behind buying F1, what he believes it is worth today, and why passing up a McLaren F1 remains his biggest automotive regret.
Kahn also gives his account of losing Land Rover supply, shares his unfiltered opinions on modern car design and explains how property helped build his wealth. Beyond the cars, he opens up about family, the personal cost of success and the legacy he wants to leave behind — before revealing plans for a 1,250bhp manual Porsche.

What does it REALLY take to build a multi-million-pound hypercar company, and why do so many fail before producing a single car? In this episode of Road To Success, Ben sits down with Jens Sverdrup, Executive Chairman of Zenvo Automotive, to uncover the reality behind the world's most exclusive hypercar brands. Having worked alongside some of the biggest names in the industry, including Koenigsegg and Pagani, Jens reveals why even £100 million might not be enough to launch a successful hypercar brand, why he's personally refused to sell cars to certain customers, and the shocking costs of owning and maintaining some of the world's rarest machines. From his relationship with Christian von Koenigsegg to the development of the Zenvo Aurora, Jens shares the lessons he's learned over 30 years in the industry, the secrets behind building a successful hypercar brand, and why money alone will never guarantee success. We also explore the world of billionaire collectors, hypercar investments, Shmee150's influence on Zenvo, and the sacrifices required to turn a childhood dream into reality.
