I am not a KBS historian....that being said. The KBS MK 5 went into production approximately 1989 and it's performance with it's 4 link rear suspension was a virtual revolution in the handling of F440 cars. The MK 5 was followed by the MK 7 in approximately 1992 which had revised rear suspension geometry. The MK 6 was a DSR car produced in 1993, of which I believe only one was produced. The MK 8 had revised front and rear suspension geometries and it was further updated to MK 8.5 status I believe it began production about 1997. The body work from MK 5's & MK 7's is interchangeable. The bodywork for the MK 8 & 8.5 gives a similar appearance to the MK 5/7, however the MK 8 bodywork will not fit the earlier editions.
There are also earlier KBS editions, I have seen MK 3's and MK 4's and while I have never seen them I suspect there were MK 1 & 2 also.

I see reference to MK7 and MK8 without any reference to the year it was manufactured. Are there MK 6's and MK 9's ? Were the MK 7's and 8's manufactured over several years ? and if so is one MK 7 different from the next ?
