Summary

There have been around 10,000 car brands and designers - most of them have disappeared. Isdera, the engineering firm for styling, design and racing, is one of these vanished brands. Isdera models included the Spyder, the Imperator and the Commendatore - all exclusive vehicles.

Before the engineer and designer Eberhard Schulz founded his engineering office for styling, design and racing, Isdera for short, in Leonberg near Stuttgart, he was involved in the development of the 928 and 924 models at Porsche and had worked for the tuning companies AMG and B&B. For the latter, he created the spectacular mid-engined coupé CW 311 with gullwing doors and 6.3 L V8 from Mercedes/AMG until 1978.
