Koenig Ferrari 575M Maranello
 
Before the Enzo, the best Ferrari was the 575M Maranello. Koenig decided it was time to release a new exhaust system, turbochargers, air filters, a spoiler, and new brakes for the 575M. The 575M can now post a sub-4 0-60.
Dont know how to post pictures, but here is a link.

is it just me, or ar ferraris cooler unmodified?
it seems that you just don't want to spoil a car like that, besides, who needs more real world performance?
I'm not too crazy about it

soccerchamp76 05-27-2003 06:40 PM

The best touch is the spoiler. That adds to the more sporty look. If you see an F50 on the street, you turn your head. The 575M unmodified won't turn many heads as it doesn't have a radical design. The spoiler adds just the right touch to have a more commanding look. The turbochargers just add for more excitement on the highway.

nate_dawg 05-27-2003 06:47 PM

that's what I like about it....it's subtle and doesn't have the racer look to it. and does it really need the wing from a performance standpoint? does it actually function? ferrari designed the car to do 180+ w/o the wing, and adding something like that just to "turn heads" is a waste in my opinion........

Don't like it. A Ferrari is a Ferrari. A modified Ferrari isn't pure any more. The 575M Maranello is arguably one of the best looking cars on the road today. That modified piece is hideous. I don't mind performance bits under the hood, on the suspension, brakes, or things like that, but even in a Ferrari, how much more do you REALLY need? To turbocharge a Ferrari, especially this one, you take away that sweet V12 sound, and make it sound like who-knows-what. I'll take my $175,000 Ferrari UNMODIFIED please.

soccerchamp76 05-27-2003 08:21 PM

The unmodified 575M Ferrari has a more subtle exhaust tone. The Koenig exhaust system has a more aggressive Ferrari sound. The turbos are there for performance. If I had a 575M, I would take the spoiler, exhaust, and brakes.

soccerchamp76 05-27-2003 08:23 PM

...OTOH, I would be incredibly happy just to sit in a 575M. If i had the money to toss around, then I might even get one of each, Koenig and pure.

Hmm....with that spoiler, it looks like a Supra, or at least something that was designed by the Japanese, rather than the Italians, which is a bit of a shame really.

Atomic Pinkie 05-28-2003 12:59 AM

i agree, looks like a supra with a flat front

i'd have to get both

Rippley 05-28-2003 04:55 AM

I could deal with the wing. What I don't understand is, why mount butt-ugly wheels like that on such a beautiful car?!

BoCo 05-28-2003 06:40 AM

I don't like the spoiler at all, but the rest of the mods are great! The reason Ferrari doesn't give the cars more power/performance in the beginning is to keep costs reasonable (relatively) and to prolong the overall life of the cars. But if you have the money and desire to get more out of it, there's no reason why you shouldn't.

thadon 05-28-2003 09:29 AM

koenig kicks AZZ ... I love the 575M

hughjarse 05-29-2003 03:34 AM

Well he certainly stuffed that piece of machinery up!

msimon8 05-30-2003 03:16 PM

You can never go wrong with giving a car more power, and the wheels arent all that bad (id never by them)

But come on....that ugly ass wing does nothing but create more drag and weight and slows down the car. Even with the increased power you dont need very much more if any downforce to keep the car on the road

madsenj37 05-31-2003 11:29 PM

I would like the car better without the wing. It would be a sleeper among the elite cars. I say this because I knew a guy who bought a Ferrari because he felt people could not tell it was a Ferrari except for two small emblems. Nothing on the body yells out. Its just a purely sleek design.

focalevo 06-05-2003 04:00 PM

I think the car looks sweet!! I really like the look of the now dead Supra, and any camparison,(even of this caliber), is not a bad thing. The car may have been widened in the rear,(can't really tell from the pic.), and may give reasoning for the huge liped rear wheels. Wings are iether a love it, or hate it issue anymore since there are only about a bazillion different styles. We can only hope that the owner actually likes it :)

Don't get me wrong, I love purity among exotics, but a random 'tuned' varient is always welcome in my book.

ElwoodBlues 06-05-2003 05:09 PM

yeah, if i had a 575M i would definately leave it stock....why fuck with a good thing?

Captain Canada 06-06-2003 11:20 AM

I like that Koenig. Looks awesome.

Look what they did to a 360 Modena gag. The only thing the 575 is missing is the neon valve stem caps.

mule12 06-08-2003 09:23 PM

all look pretty sweet, except maybe the back of that 360.

Camry 06-08-2003 11:29 PM

Yech what did they do to that 360!!!! Agggh, but yah i sorta like the boy racer look on the 575m... It's maybe not as pure but it do look purty! (hell if you have money to burn on a ferrari like that, maybe the guy/girl could get one for modding and one for pureness :) )

BigTruck1956 06-10-2003 05:03 PM

woooh, nice. Like a viper.....but so much cooler

That is ugly as hell. The 360 is one of my favorite cars and whoever decided to do that should be shot!

Those damn Italians make the most beautiful cars on the planet and they don't need to have any body mods to them cause they're already perfect.

goaterizer 06-11-2003 03:45 PM

there is somthing about those wheels that is very un-apealling to me......i think they make it look like a rice burner.....esp. with that nasty "pep boys looking" spoiler....... the stock wheels look so much better
