Ferrari transitioned from the front-engine V-12 Daytona to the mid-engine flat-12 Berlinetta Boxer in 1973 with the Pininfarina-designed 365 GT4 Berlinetta Boxer or BB. The mid-engine boxer developed into the 512 BB from 1976-81 with slightly below 930 examples inbuilt Maranello, Italy.

As with many unique vehicles, fans and styling homes sought to boost their uniqueness. One such firm, Koenig Specials in Munich, modified the 512BB which is recognizable by its distinctive options reminiscent of a deep entrance spoiler, built-in wing mirrors, dramatic aspect seals, large flared arches concealing bigger BBS wheels, air scoops, and a placing rear wing.

Let’s see what Tiff Needell has to say about this Koenig-modified 512BB with 450 horsepower as he not too long ago received the chance to take it for a drive.
