Koenig

Koenig is a German sports car manufacturer that produces luxury vehicles for sale in the global market.

Koenig has been associated with Formula D since its inception, most notably through the Centurion-Koenig GP Racing team, of which Koenig owns a controlling stake. Additionally, Koenig operates independently as an engine supplier for both Centurion-Koenig (seasons 1-3) and L'equipe Duchamp (seasons 1-3).

Koenig in Formula D
Koenig engines have competed strongly since the series' inception. Throughout the first season, both teams running the Koenig engines have competed at or above expectations, with L'equipe Duchamp driver Mikhail Volkov taking the championship fight almost to the very last race. L'equipe Duchamp finished second in the championship after a strong season. Centurion-Koenig, however, did not fare as well, though that was due more to accidents on track than with engine troubles.

In season 2, both L'equipe Duchamp and Centurion-Koenig saw great success throughout the first half of the seasons. The Koenig engines stalled more frequently, but their performance on track was unbeatable. With the broad, fast turns of the European tracks, the Koenig engines were able to accelerate quickly and were more resilient under over-revving. However, their top speed was not as high as the competitors', and this proved problematic on the fast tracks of North America. The Koenig teams ended up faltering, getting third and fourth but tying on points.
