308 Koenig

Coool or tacky?

Ferrari 308 GTSi QV Koenig / 7H Classics / | 7H Bil AB

 

I vote cool. Whose gonna say that 400hp is tacky? Plus all of the stuff appears to have a function so shouldn't be considered as "bling"

 

Neither. "Horrible" is the first word that comes up. As if the lines of a 308 can be improved... ( which they can't.) Well, different people, different taste..

 

It looks like it has a Saratoga style roof.
Time and changing styles have not been kind in my opinion to Koenig customised cars.

 

I have the exact front spoiler and they are indeed functional.

 

YUCK!

 

More isn't always more. Find it rather depressing when I see people do this to Enzo era cars.. 2cts.

 

I love these.

 

It looks as though someone opened a warm, shaken beer in front of the instrument cluster. You'd think they'd do at least a little bit of detailing before taking those pictures.

 

I just did the currency conversion, $100,000 USD, correct? Given what the QV's are selling for that is a whole lot of bang for the buck. (say's the dude with the 375+ bph supercharged 85 Euro QV, no bling.)

 

"Ugly", perhaps?

Rgds

 

I think it's period correct cool. Turbo/intercooled too? Even cooler. Not sure it's worth $100K but it looks nice. Except for those rubber bumpers on the door edge and I'd have left the front and rear bumpers black.

 

It manages to be both. Because it is a product of the '80's it is period correct as far as tuner cars go. And it has the turbo to back it up. But, ouch, my eyes. Those scoops on the side are awful.

I do like those seats! And the Saratoga top alone is worth a bazillion dollars now, otherwise I'd have one.

 

Only a great artist can draw a mustache on Mona Lisa and make it a controversial masterpiece ;-)

I love it......but then I also like Dali

 

Salvador Dali has some very cool pieces! Difference being, he didn't impose or use his distorted view on other Masters/ artists and use their canvas as a launching pad for the absurdity.

Although I would be up for seeing the " melting Koenig" in one of the fire scenes.

 

Cool! - Back in the day!

But that was the mid 80's when excess ruled everything, and every car looked better with pieces of additional plastic crap bolted/glued onto it!


Today? - Tacky!

It's the motoring equivalent of women's massive shoulder pads in the 80's, with all that "power-dressing" nonsense! We all thought it looked great at the time, but now when you look back at the pictures of how women dressed, it just looks a bit silly and embarrassing!

 

When I was a kid in the 90s I thought the pads were meant to be comfortable for me to lay my head on. How naive...

 

Hey, 308 Milano, being a lover of things Italian, I thought you might be outraged at the thought of Dali drawing his mustache on the Mona Lisa, it certainly upset alot of people at the time........which is exactly what Dali wanted.

 

Koenig = tacky IMO

Pass. I think this sort of styling is best left to the experts & the right marque: Gandini, Bertone & Lamborghini. I'd prefer a Jalpa to this

 

I own a koenig turbo. Brilliant car, daring design but I rather own something different to everyone else as well. Some like them some dont. Each to there own I guess. But it is quicker than most modern Ferrari's

 

I must be seriously sleep deprived as I totally forgot about this. I stand corrected! LOL

The world would be a very boring place if everyone thought alike.

 

;-)

 

Indeed! I Love this quote, Kim.

 

well...some of the factory race cars sort of did improve what is to this generation, the more modern Dino. If you like the track stuff. Not so much the off road version.
