Vehicle Description
Modified by noted German tuning house Koenig Specials, this
supercharged 964 Koenig has 19,000 actual kilometers/11,800 miles
(the title reads mileage exempt). It was one of eight 964-based
Carreras given the Koenig treatment, which included fitting a
supercharger to the 3.6-liter flat-6 engine. Power is sent to all
four wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission. Additional
modifications include Koenig-specific bodywork, 17" 5-spoke Modia
Koenig wheels, Recaro sport seats, Momo steering wheel and a VDO
boost gauge. Though the origins of the company date to 1974, it was
not until the late 1970s/mid-1980s that Koenig Specials began to
gain notoriety as one of Germany's more outlandish tuning houses.
It was involved in regular collaborations with stylist Vittorio
Strosek and forced-induction specialist Franz Albert. As with other
large tuning houses, Koenig-modified cars are delivered with their
own VIN. The black paint shows well for its age and mileage,
exhibiting consistent shine and deep luster over the exterior
bodywork. Body panels exhibit proper fit, retaining uniform panel
gaps over the entire body. The wheels are in good condition with no
noticeable rash and come wrapped in Bridgestone rubber.
Deep-bolstered Recaro Classic power sport seats replace the factory
911 items and show well for their age, aside from some minimal wear
on the driver's bolsters. Detailed images show the dash, headliner,
door panels and other interior surfaces have remained
well-preserved. The rear seating area shows equally well, with taut
seating surfaces and the multi-piece carpets remaining free of any
notable splits or tears. Part of the Koenig conversion included
adding a non-intercooled Albrex supercharger to the factory
3.6-liter engine. The performance figures are impressive for this
particular car; this setup with a supercharger is good for more
than 300hp. Correspondence with Walter Koenig confirms the car's
authenticity. The Koenig Specials identification number is featured
on a plate along with the Porsche VIN.
