Isdera Imperator 108i
Isdera is a small and ultra-exclusive manufacturer of supercars in Germany. Eberhard Schultz, the ex-Mercedes engineer founded the company. Although you could consider all their products to be strange and obscure, the Imperator 108i is the coolest and best looking, so it deserves a place on this list. It debuted in 1984 and remained in production until 1993, during which time they only built 30 of them.
The car was of space frame construction with a plastic body. But the best features were the Gullwing doors, which are timeless and everyone’s favorite supercar detail. Also, the wedge-shape and silhouette are still cool-looking and interesting, even today. Better yet, behind the driver was a Mercedes-produced V8 engine with 5.0-liters of displacement.
