There are different technical specifications for this Koenig, on Fast-autos.net we can find 828bhp @ 7 500 and on Koenig's website they say 850bhp @ 7 200rpm

koenig ripped out the engine, so i would not doubt that this car was dynoed @ the crank... do you know any other tuners who could/would pull this off?
its not uncommon for peak hp to appear at a different rev at the crank, vs. at the wheels... not to mention koenig has dialable engine mapping

I don't believe in tuning Ferraris, unless it's done by Ferrari itself. Turbo on a Ferrari's even worse.

I think it need a spacer for the rear wheels. The wheel currently look hiding inside the wheel well too much.

Not sure whether I like that car. The power must be amazing, but the F50 wasn't designed to be anything else than NA. Even the F50 GT1 is NA. The wheels are completely wrong for this car IMO.
This dealer also has the Aston Martin Virage converted by Lynx for sale! It was featured in evo a while ago. That is a fantastic car! 725 hp in a car like that could even be called stealth...

The F50 belongs to somebidy i do not know of
The McLaren was owned by Derek Bell... Le Mans driver etc... he probably just got bored of it, or wanted a bigger house

More than likely th fire extinguisher system... many hi-po cars will have a firebottle and suppressor system to at the pull of a handle can dump fire retardent into the engine compartment to extinguish a fire.
Some events and tracks even require it for certain class entry - and of course full race series rules require these systems for entry.

I'm gonna go with everyone else and say Koenig F50 TT. I have a vid of it accelerating away on the straight - the blow off valves on it are wicked.

This is a Koenig excpet it still has the Ferrari badges. You can tell by the manettino type of switch next to the gear gate. Only Koenig put a power selector on their F50s.
