I love the Koenig Special cars for the exotic styling but more impressively their turbo engine conversions. The ultimate version of this 512 BB from Koenig , had a twin turbo flat 12 , 620 brake and a claimed 205 mph. In the 1970 's!!. My favourite's are : 512 BB twin turbo , Koenig Competition Testarossa ( 1000 bhp ) , Koenig C62......Turbo Legends !

@doublestrokeroll 2 месяца назад

He also did a version of the 308.

@clockdva20 5 месяцев назад

Gosh.... As a courier on the early and mid eighties, I used to love zipping up and down Goldhawk Road to glimpse all the madness and motoring beauty in Straight Eight. It all seems a little ostentatious now, but as a teen I thought those gleaming exotics and wonderful domestic designs were a delight.

I was working on a house in New Hampshire and there was one in the barn. We were doing sprinklers on a clay tennis court and a man was there painting the barn. He dripped paint on it! I told him, hey, you're dripping paint on the Ferrari, do you have any clue what that's worth? He shrugged his shoulders and said, I always wanted to paint a Ferrari! Needless to say he wasn't there the next day! It was the bb 512 berlinetta

@allansayers7842 5 месяцев назад

I have had my koenig 512 for 30 years and have put up with nasty remarks like these for most of that time. She is a glorious car to drive and the only things I have changed are the wheels and the throttle linkage to make the throttle less heavy. Mine now has the same tyres as the F50 and she is great on track. Oh and I do have seatbelts. I would never drive without. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0suwW7gXFFA.htmlsi=0JbUPZAXLj1otlHK

Very recently, a friend at a specialist garage was working on a 512BB. He had to source a single gear cog for the gearbox - it cost €5000. Ps. the welding on these cars is terrible - anyone with more than a week's basic training could do better.

@pereldh5741 5 месяцев назад

Altho there’s a common misconception on welding. An ”ugly” weld can very well be good enough for the job. Only when that joint cracks can we say for certain that weld is ”bad”. And, as we all know, they actually rarely do on Ferrari’s.

is the front bumper driving anyone else nuts or is that just me, as I swear it looks like its out of shape, and I'm not trying to knock the car or the people, but did they just build it that way way back when?

@RzogL 5 месяцев назад

Did Koenig's modifications at least make the car nore driveable and improve the famously scary on-limit handling? The more recent Carobu restomod wisely didn't mess with the Fioravanti styling. I wonder if this car can be shorn of the tacky add-ons while retaining the chassis improvements. The fear wheel arches might need some subtle coachwork to improve on the aerodynamics of the original car, but Koenig's aesthetic abomination is not the way to do it.

@FrostedSeagull 5 месяцев назад

I vividly remember Enzo calling the Koenig cars . . . an abomination. Ferrari moved quickly and legally forced these owners to remove the official Ferrari badge. permanently banning a few billionaire's and Nigel Mansell. It is said that two German industrialists and an Italian magnate were permanently banned from Ferrari. The German industrialists switched their allegiance to Porshe. The Italian magnate was butt hurt as he didn't receive an allocation for the 288 and immediately after Enzo died, an F 40. Nigel Mansell I cannot prove this, but, Mansell was also not given a 288 GTO allocation. Enzo, legend has it, g ave Nigel Mansell's allocation to Alain Prost.
