    Yes, that would be interesting but rather unlikely.

    It is. Although the red dealer-plates beginning with "06" are only for test drives purposes. Nice to know such a monster in my hometown :)

    It's not really a Koenig Enzo. All that has been altered on the car in that photo is a new exhaust and 40% higher airflow air filters. It probably does a top speed of 220 MPH as opposed to the standard 218MPH Enzo. I think that Koenig are in the process of putting together new design plans to customise this Ferrari.

    Ok, I'm going out on a limb here, Power enhancements are great for sure,
    but I have yet to see a Koenig (kit) that IMHO 'enhances' the appearance of a Ferrari.

    Surprisingly understated for a Koenig car!

    How much rwhp is this particular car putting down? I think a 0-186mph of 16sec is a little on the optimistic side, other than that, pretty darn cool. :)

    That particular car was for sale in Koenig's website since late 2002 until mid-2003. Engine tuned in 1994 rebuild in 2000 if I'm not mistaken.
    I wonder how much was it sold for.

    They claimed 1000ps @7,100 rpm and 1150nm @5,250 rpm
    0-100 km/h 3.5s
    0-200 km/h 8.9s
    0-300km/h 16.0s

    How come...??? The pictures you posted of the interior, showing the seats, does not compare to the exterior pictures, where the seats seems to be Creme in color???
    Further the seats shown at the exterior pics seems to me to resemble the seats from a Testarossa, and not from a 512 TR...is the car a Testarossa, or a 512 TR????

    Regards

    Carsten

    It's definitely a Testarossa due to the seats. He probably later swapped them out for the racing seats you see pictured.

    It is also definitely a TR engine and not a 512TR engine.

    Also where the odomter is would make it an earlier TR.

    Hope that helps.

    Hmm...I think it would need a bit more than 1000hp to manage a 0-186mph time of 16s with just a 5spd gearbox and a topspeed of 230mph (assuming you would reach 230mph in 5th, so only 4 gears to get to 186mph with). The 512s are pretty heavy, around 3800lb, and unless this one has been on a serious diet it probably weighs closer to 4000lb with the extra weight of the turbos & their plumbing etc. I'm not trying to start a big argument here, I just find it hard to believe it could manage that time, when cars with more hp and much less weight barely manage to break 15s 0-186mph. I'm sure the car hauls, but I'd say it is a good bit slower than those numbers.
