Isdera

Born out of a Mercedes-Benz concept car and a man’s reluctance to let the said concept go to waste, the Isdera Imperator 108i is one of the quirkiest, rarest supercars from the 1980s. And it all starts with the name.

Bulbous at the front and obscenely long at the rear - that’s how the Isdera Commendatore 112i presents itself to the viewer, a McLaren Speedtail avant la lettre as many have pointed out.

Coming out of early-’90s Germany, the Commendatore shares its engine with the Pagani Zonda and the pop-up headlamps with the more inconspicuous Porsche 968 but, unlike either of them, Isdera never put the 112i into production. This, then, is your chance to own one of the rarest supercars out there.
