It looks better than most 308 Koenigs I have seen. Probably because by this time, they had seen the 288 GTO. But a production run of 13 is 13 too many 328's destroyed.
I like the body mods but not the wing. Looks to large for the car. I think the deck spoiler like the GTO is a better fit. Just my 2c
Aw, come on, at least the rear wing is functional... it gives you a great place to set your beer down while you are standing around talking about how gauche the rest of the car is. Rick
The ad says the car has some mechanical issues but does not mention what they are.......can we say, 'red flag'.
Those Koenig rear wings may look AWESOME but they are a real water trap. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Hey, I remember disco, big perms and paisley. C'mon. To each his own. One mans ceiling is another mans floor. Koenig was a real high end ground effects company. Brabus, AMG, lots of modifiers. Don't let 'em razz ya' too much Steve. It goes with the slate driveway.
I like it !!! Willi Koenig has a multi-decade long history of modifying Ferrari's and from what I have read, or rather from the lack of it, the only detractors he has seem to be critical in the area of how his cars "look" versus the reliability and quality of workmanship aspects. That I can live with. I also like the Koenig Competition Evolution TR even more...........1,000+ HP.........yeah baby !!! Image Unavailable, Please Login
Ain't it great we have firms like Koenig to show those clowns at Pininnfarina how it should have been done. I bet all the exotic car manufacturers are begging Koenig to design thier next supercar. Go Koenig.
Now the Senor is spinning in his grave. Hah! I'm stepping out for a cigar. I'll be back after the blood bath. At least I know how far Subaru looked back to steal their styling ideas. All I really have to say is "man. that thing better be fast looking like that.
Funny you mention that. These designs have been made by Vittorio Strosek, who is famous for his Porsche Designs. At least he was copied by the factory more than 40 times, which is proved! He told me that at this time when he did these Koenig designs, most of the cars went to far east and the arabic area. and they were crazy about this. so Willy Koenig and he earned a lot of money with the strange taste of other cultures. Btw he wasn´t too proud of it. In the tradition of old school design this doesn´t work at all. This is also a reason, why he isn´t mentioning it. Sometimes you do projects to earn money and sometimes you do them for reputation.
In a weird way, I like it. Performance wise it was great, the look was a little Mazinga like, but to each his own. In the '80s 430 hp with good reliability (they improved everything and did not just fit the turbos) was a fantastic result. Ciao Eugenio
Did not think of that, you automatically assume it's a designer with bad taste, but of course it's the buyer who has the bad taste. Then hat off to the designer.
