Picture of the week: Koenig Cedric 430
Back in the late 80s AMG was one of the baddest tuners around: with their bulky lowered Mercs they really showed how tuning is supposed to be done. Naturally another tuner of that era called Koenig made even more outrageous designs including the Koenig Testarossa which looked a bit more out of space than Doc’s Delorean time machine.
So naturally people stared copying the AMG and Koenig designs, including this beautiful Cedric 430:
Not only does it feature an enormous sharknose and lip, it also includes the typically Koenig side air intakes!
Seen from the rear it becomes apparent how ridiculously wide those rear fenders are! (more…)

Just imagine how much these chopped up Mazda RX-3s would have been worth:
A great comfort is that the picture actually comes from the June 1980 issue of Holiday Auto magazine.

I was doubting if I should post this picture under part swaps or as a picture of the week. Because of the butaketsu Laurel SGX parked in front of the Skyline Japan it became the latter…
Yesterday I already featured a very nice scale model buildup of a pigsbutt Laurel SGX but in real life it looks much better, especially if it also features a Hiro spoiler on the boot lid. The Skyline features a set of (badly copied) Celica banana tail lights. (‘A`)?
Also if I’m not mistaken these two cars are the two main cars of Ultra Heaven.

Given the insane wide rear over fenders on this Porsche 916: could this be Rauh-Welt’s source of inspiration when they started tuning Porsches?
Somehow the SSR Mk. I rims still blend into the whole package!

Sharknoses are always a great way to bump a car directly into the kaido racer regions and this Soarer MZ10 is no exception to that!
