The Koenig Competition, a modified Ferrari Testarossa, was one of the most successful and well-known creations by Koenig Specials. With a design reminiscent of the Ferrari F40, it boasted a powerful twin-turbo V12 engine capable of producing up to 1,000HP (if the customer requests it), a feat that was unheard of in the 1980s. The car’s list price was set at an extravagant one million Deutsche Marks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In addition to its impressive power, the Koenig Testarossa featured advanced aerodynamics with a custom Koenig body kit that provided better downforce and a stiffer, lower ride thanks to a four-wheel independent Koenig suspension kit. The car’s acceleration was exceptional, going from 0 to 100km\/h in just 3.8 seconds with a top speed of 340km\/h.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Koenig Testarossa also had a high torque output, requiring larger and wider tires for better handling and driver confidence. Koenig Specials’ other notable projects included modifications to the BMW M635 CSi, Jaguar XJS, Mercedes-Benz SL, Ferrari 348, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Porsche 911, and BMW 850i.<\/p>\n
