The Koenig C-62 was the brainchild of Willy Koenig, the pioneer body parts manufacturer of some of the hottest super cars like the Porsche 962 and the Ferrari Testarossa. The plan was to design and manufacture a street version of the Porsche's 962 prototype racecar. To attain the necessary ground clearances as well as headlight position, an entirely new carbon fiber body was designed. Koenig tweaked the 3-liter version of the boxer engine to produce more low-end toque. Other prominent changes included softer cams and a Bosch Monotonic system. The street car was priced handsomely too, as it came with a price tag of $1.2 million during the early 1990s, and was solely meant for an extremely niche segment of high-end supercar connoisseurs with high-net-worth-individuals.
