Ah the 80s. What an era of ridiculous excess. These crazy Koenig machines epitomize that time perfectly. I remember seeing that Testarossa in a car magazine at the time, it was the most outrageous thing I'd ever seen. Over 700hp is still pretty respectable for a supercar today, back in the 1980s that kind of power was just ludicrous. Awesome stuff, great vid, thanks for uploading!
I guess I agree - the cars are from the period I first discovered Koenig; but it would have been in 2001 that I bought the video, and the cover didn't have a date reference. Assumed it was 'current' at the time, but maybe they just never updated it...
@@PartyRambo the lack of inclusion of their doctored countach, diablos, or 348s leads me to believe this was certainly shot prior to 1989/90. Thanks for the upload! A real gem. Look at that poor 3 series and the rear treatment of the testatossa and SEC. Just outrageous!
The cheesy 80's rock and the ancient stuffy old Brit make this a masterpiece. Cars are pretty sweet performance wise if rather garish styling wise. Test-o-rrrrrosa!
Yes but knowing copyright laws that the copyright was updated 2001 on this video. Hence the age discrepancy. Obviously this is from the late 80s early 90s.
From design to power: Full points, the video is really cool too. Koenig cars are street demons. Now imagine this fuckin e cars. Yes they are fast too but when this Koenig cars unfold power via their engines - is unbeatable, alone because of their visible performance in connection with this brutal racingcar sounds

This material is way older than 2001.
Possibly mid '80.
Yep, they talk about the Testarossa being "passed for normal road use by the West German technical testing unit." So 1990 at the very latest.

So sad that this company not in business any more .. was a dream machines back in my days.
For sure based on the XJ the references to the 500 series classes the w124 being included I'd say this is for the 1986 model year
Miami and South Beach were you could find all these specialty Mercedes in 78-86
this is 1985/1986
Everything new is old again everything old is New Again
Thanks for posting!
Video must be far older than 2001
As JN says way before 01 think we are arround 1985 (Honda turbo ara in F1)

Sounds like LJK Setright narrating.
Just uploaded a video of a beautiful trio with a Koenig Mercedes SLK Widebody
@Wnzg
👍
For comparison: Modern audi r8 has 620 hp
Viagra must have killed off the demand for these Testo-mobiles.
No, recession did.
Thank you for this, brilliant upload.
