Koenig produced aftermarket products for the Ferrari Testarossa which included body parts and mechanical enhancements. The big news was the Twin-turbochargers (KKK) with turbo-manifolds that reduced compression, adding additional oil and gearbox cooling, special head gaskets, two-intercoolers, new exhaust, special air-flow meters, and modified motronics. The result was 700 horsepower and a car that had a zero-to-sixty time of just 3.9 seconds. A twin-turbo Evolution package was also available, which produced 1000 horsepower! It brought with it reinforced gear wheels, clutch shaft, all gear shaft changes, new turbochargers, bigger coolers, and many other improvements. Zero-to-sixty was achieved in 3.4 seconds with the standing quarter-mile obtained in 10 seconds. The top speed was 370 km/h. All of this was dependant upon the setup and gear ratios. Koenig offered rear wings, wide-body versions, sport air filters, bigger brakes, suspension upgrades, wheel and rim packages, sporty mufflers, and interior changes.

The Koening Competition Evolution featured a widebody kit built from carbon-kevlar, with a front spoiler with separate flap, rear cover with integrated rear-wing, side-skirts, plexiglass covers for engine and rear cover, Plexi headlights, and more. The goal was to make the car stable at speed while reducing its overall weight and improving its structural integrity.
