At the first glance, I thought it was a 300Z.

They pretty much killed the nice looks of the original Testarossa. Looks like a wanna-be F40 (not in a pleasant way). And indeed, the headlights remind me of a 300Z also.

Proof that ricing existed before The Fast and The Furious...

Can this cars label "Koenig" be attributed to todays famous Koenigsegg? If so, has Koenig worked on other makes/models? I would indeed be suprised if Koenigsegg were similiar to Shelby (making and modifying cars to improve performance).

No. Koenig was (is?) a very important Ferrari (amongst other brands) dealer in Germany who started modifying cars. I think the name of the bloke was Willy.

If I remember correctly, this was in Toca 2 (the sequel to the melodrama known as Pro Race Driver).
