In cars, "Zenki" means "First period", and Kouki means "Late period".
Its English equivalent could be "Pre-Facelift" for Zenki, and "Post-Facelift" for Kouki.
((Facelift means that it is an aesthetic redesign or even a mechanical improvement, but without altering the chassis to the point of meriting an adequate generational change.)
I like the Kouki Gen 4 Mustang, but the body looks too sharp, so I prefer the rounder Zenki model.
