How about this? i too dont really like kits but had to have this on mine

You know what, I quite like that. If the side skirts were a little shorter and the rear bumper a little less guerrish(SP) it would be the tits.

Ferrari Testarossa Koenig 1000hp BI-TURBO

I love F40 but that looks more like a TR7. I'm not sure the look of an F40 needs any attempt to improve upon it.

Well it's a Testarossa so no F40's were harmed in the making of this car, 1000 BHP is pretty amazing for it's time if true.

It looks a thousand times better than an original Testarossa, but that doesn't really mean much as it was a thousand times uglier than an F40 which isn't a particularly pretty car either.

So all in, it's pretty damn ugly.

Doh!

In my defence it does look more like a ruined F40 than Testarossa to me, but fugly all the same.

Ferrari Testarossa Koenig 1000hp BI-TURBO

An interesting piece of 1980s tuning history it might be but the seller must be on some really good drugs if he thinks it's worth anywhere near half a million quid.

Both of those examples should be worth MUCH less than an original unmolested example. It is simply a third party tuner of poor taste bolting tat onto a once lovely car, never designed to handle such abuse.

Think you need to read up on Willy Koenig before posting rubbish.

Yes the bi-turbos really can be 1000hp.

[k-ink]

I've read it before. Racing, then tuning, involving turbos and dodgy body kits. Not really a fan personally.

[pugfan]

In my opinion that Koenig Testarossa is no more or less hideous than the original! Although the back end of it is especially horrible looking.

Belongs to our engine builder, Marc Lamude. 1900hp from a Procharged big block Chevy. Marc does 6000 miles a year in it.. It runs 8s

I saw something very similar in Battersea Park in London a couple of years ago. Giant slicks on the rear and twin turbos, gently sauntering around looking for a car park.

Are you sure it was turbos? Marc regularly cruises into London..
