For more than 40 years KONI has been committed to motorsport because the company sees racing as a test laboratory of invaluable importance.
On racing tracks around the world, important experience is gained that benefits KONI shock absorbers for every day use, so that every motorist can enjoy the same superior driving qualities as the world's best racing drivers.
The first time KONI put in an appearance was in the 1955 'Tulpenrally'. From then on there has been a continuous series of racing successes, such as 10 Le Mans victories, more than 220 Grand Prix wins and 13 Formula 1 World Championships and other Formula and touring car categories including the Indianapolis 500.
KONI adjustable drag racing shocks have dominated professional and sportsman drag racing since 1969.
Although a larger percentage of KONI Shocks are for the replacement market, an increasing percentage of KONI shock absorbers are purchased by car manufacturers.
Consequently KONI delivers products as standard to high-end manufacturers as Lamborghini, Maserati and Lotus. The same goes for Chrysler, for their top-level cars the Dodge Viper and the Plymouth Prowler.
