1983 Koenig-Specials 512 BBi Turbo

Right from the start, the philosophy of KOENIG-SPECIALS has been to built the ultimate in sportscars for the road, a synthesis of aerodynamics and design, with individual sporty or exclusive interior fittings and optimum driving characteristics, thanks to improved chassis, racing brakes, wide rims and tyres, sports exhaust systems, engine performance values, and, at the customer’s request, with turbo, supercharger, or high-performance engines.

The overall range of performance includes the tuning and conversion of vehicles, and the supply of technical components, body parts, and conversion-kits.

Based on the 8-cylinder Ferrari model, turbo engines of 295kW/400h.p. to 440kW/600 h.p. are built, with complete bodywork and vehicle modification

The 365 BB and 512 BB have been fitted with a 330 kW 450 h.p. engine and complete racing modification, suitable also for conventional road traffic, and have been successfully used in the racing environment.

High-performance twin-turbo engines are produced for nearly all 12-cylinder models from the 512 BBi onwards.

Only the finest materials are used, tested on test stands, in wind tunnels, and under extreme racing and road conditions, and tested and approved by the German Technical Supervisory Authority (TÜV).
