Completely disagree, but then I guess it comes down to what your parameters are. If you think doing horrible things to a car enhances it we are at two completely opposite ends of the spectrum..[/IMG]
one of these cars is an official desirable Ferrari model and the other a garish, horrible over the top styled modified one

I tend to agree that if a manufacturer does an over the top car - see latest gt3rs, the above tdf or the lambo sv everybody thinks it is the best thing since sliced bread and if a tuner does sth similar it is frowned upon. i also am not a fan of current tuned cars, but do think people are being a little disingenous as some of the manufacturer offerings are not any less graish/extreme/pretend race car than what after market guys sometimes produce

Point taken. I'd rather have a Countach though smile

1 of only 2 and they're both for sale, lol what are the chances? The fact that one was for sale 3 years ago for less than half the price puts me off but then again all supercars have shot up in price.
Yellow car was up for sale at £79,995 in February at Alexanders Prestige when we had a visit.

It has a black twin I was offered a few years back.

Add mine for a trifecta?

Agreed, they would sell in tiny numbers. The £1m market wants quality and pedigree and looks, not a Ferrari with bigger turbos and a questionable body kit.
"They would sell In tiny numbers"? Well thats the idea with very expensively modified supercars. The £1m market wants exclusivity most of all and Koenig certainly gave that.
With supercars one mans 'horrible' is another man's 'awesome' so i suppose I'm just a tacky kind of person cos I'd take a wide-arched big winged twin turbo 458 all day over a standard one.

Yep, the Koenig modifications very much divide opinion - some think they're naff, others awesome, others still awesomely naff. Personally, I've accessorised mine with a nodding chihuahua (https://twitter.com/evomagazine/status/607188135731187712) and a collection of awesome / naff 80s soundtracks on tape. I tend not to take things too seriously...

I'm not sure about the F48 though. I'll pick up a Koenig Testarossa if one came to the market but the 308, 328 and 348 mods don't do as much for me.
