Description

Japanese born and trained automobile designer Ken Okuyama started his own business in 2006 after working for several major manufacturers for twenty years. In those years he was involved with developing a variety of cars including the original Honda NSX, the 996 Porsche 911 and the Corvette C5. His last employer was Pininfarina where he supervised the design of the Ferrari Enzo, the Maserati Birdcage 75th and the much acclaimed Ferrari P4/5. With his first products (eyewear, furniture and humanoid robots) Okuyama stayed far away from his former life, but he returned to automobile design in 2008. Under the brand name "k.o" Okuyama launched two sports cars at that year's Geneva Motorshow; the 7 Spider and 8 Coupe. Scale: 1/43 Manufacturer code: S2008 Colour: RED MET Material: resin Year: 2008
