Found this on Pinterest. I've never seen or heard of it before... The website was in Russian, so here's what Google translate said:

"The company "Isdera GmbH" was founded in 1983 in the town of Leonberg former designer of "Porsche" and "Mercedes" Eberhard Schulz . In the late '60s , he worked on prototypes of the Mercedes-Benz C111. These mid-engined cars were going by tampering 300SL models and are driven around a host of new technologies. Unfortunately, after a few versions of these prototypes ( including rotary engines ) , their production has stopped.

When, in 1978 Mercedes showed a modified Schulz C111 - Schulz Studie CW311, the novelty has received 700 orders, but the German automaker that seemed too small to run the car in the series .

Without hesitation, Eberhard Schulz created his company Isdera - an anagram of " Engineering and design for racing ." In 1982, he presents to the public and cars Imperator 108i Spyder 036i with engines from the company's Mercedes-Benz. Potential buyers are interested in cars , and a year later began production car Spyder 036i, and a year later , and Imperator 108i.

Engine from Mercedes developed capacity of 330 hp and accelerates the Imperator to 100 km / h in just 5.5 cekund .

One of the chips supercar with the landing of the Imperial eagle on the grill is a rear view mirror. Look closely at the photo , you can see bulging thingy on the roof? Yes, this is the rear view mirror !

Sources report on approximately 70 issued by machines"

I'm not sure if I like the whole external rearview mirror on the roof, but I kinda like the rest of it! I can definitely see the Mercedez C-111 influence
