Then and still today they are extremely rare Widebody Ferrari 512 BB Koenig Special conversions ultimate dream cars of the tuning scene. And one such vehicle from the 80s is this black one. Anyone who had money in the 1980s had their Ferrari converted into a spoiled muscle package in Willy König's tuning studio in Munich. And this 512 BB Koenig Special can be found on the auction page of collecting cars can now be bought in an auction. A monster with massive widened wheel arches, totally hip at the time Pop-up headlights (Pop-up headlights) and mighty quadruple rounds Fog lights in the apron. There is also a flat one rear spoiler and a rear apron that sits pretty high up. It allows a view of the huge rear Pirelli slippers and the four integrated tailpipes.
no more comparison to series
The standard 512 was actually a discreet athlete with particularly filigree lines. But some people just lacked the ultimate visual Riot factor of the Italian, which a Countach at the time already had at the factory. Unfortunately, Koenig's customers were often brothel owners and other dubious characters who commissioned a Ferrari 512 BB Koenig Special. So received the Koenig conversions, as well as the 560 SEC AMG, a rather dubious reputation.
Willy König started his conversions with a Ferrari 365 GT4 BB in 1974 and then scored particularly because of the huge Body kits great successes. But often the vehicles also had clear ones performance improvements and one right good performance to offer. But behind the martial look that was partly lost. And this special 512 BB is one of only 101 right-hand drive vehicles built by Ferrari and only a handful have been converted accordingly by Koenig.
with 4,9-liter twelve-cylinder
Originally delivered in 1978 in Argento silver with Blu-Novola leather, it was added to in 1985 Emblem Sports Cars rebuilt. At this point the black paint applied and the interior was also in Grey revised. Since then, the classic has only run 39.879 miles (approx. 64.000 km) and in 2018 it became the 4,9-liter twelve-cylinder completely revised with Weber carburettors. The brake lines, the tie rod ends, the upper ball joints and the rear stabilizer bushings have also been renewed.
