In this riveting episode from TheSmokingTire, the team embarks on a daring quest to unravel the mysteries of a vintage 1987 Ferrari Koenig Turbo Evolution. The saga unfolds as they grapple with the sheer power of this beast, boasting a whopping 1,000 horsepower and twin turbochargers. As they navigate through the car's quirks and idiosyncrasies, including a heavy body kit and unconventional steering wheel, the team is faced with the ultimate challenge: locating the elusive gas cap in this Italian supercar.

Amidst the chaos, a unique driving experience emerges, contrasting the brute force of the Koenig Turbo Evolution with the refined elegance of a Ruf Yellowbird. The team delves into the car's history, design, and driving dynamics, shedding light on its extreme nature and the era's demand for compromise to achieve unparalleled power. As they push the limits of this vintage masterpiece, the team's reflections offer a glimpse into the heart-pounding thrill of commanding such a formidable machine on the open road.

From handling challenges to power delivery nuances, every moment behind the wheel of the Koenig Turbo Evolution is a symphony of adrenaline and uncertainty. As they ponder the car's suitability for daily driving and draw parallels to owning a MIG fighter jet, the team's escapades paint a vivid picture of automotive passion and the relentless pursuit of automotive excellence.
