From Enzo Ferrari’s respect to rivalry: the Ferrari 365 GT4 BB turbo story begins here
In this Short we follow Willy König — known in the 1960s German Hillclimb Championship as “Robert Frank” — from winning in a Ferrari 250 GT SWB to upsetting Enzo Ferrari with his turbocharged Ferrari 365 GT4 BB. We look at how König used RAJAY airplane-derived turbochargers to push the 4.4-liter V12 from 380 to 650 hp, and how this sparked huge interest among Ferrari owners. The video also touches on how Enzo culturally hated the modification and how it led to trouble once Koenig Specials GmbH was founded in 1977.
You’ll see why König raced under a fake name, how the Maranello invitation in 1962 happened, and how the rapid spread of turbo news turned Ferrari against him. We also explain the legal pressure that forced Koenig to remove Ferrari badges from tuned cars and switch to KS branding, with magazines even masking emblems to avoid legal action.
