Sold: 1991 Isdera Imperator 108i & Mercedes SLS AMG GT3
We are pleased to report the sale of two modern-era standouts: a 1991 Isdera Imperator 108i and a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3. Considered together, they trace parallel lines in German performance—one the expression of a small atelier’s road-going vision, the other a purpose-built machine developed to the GT3 rulebook. Each represents a clear brief, executed with discipline, and each now concludes its tenure within our current portfolio.
The Imperator 108i speaks to the designer-led tradition. Finished in red over black and paired with a ZF 5-speed, it presents the singular language associated with Eberhard Schulz: low roofline, periscope mirror, and crisp, unadorned surfacing. The model’s appeal rests on proportion and restraint more than flourish, and this example’s cohesive presentation underscores why the Imperator endures as an uncommon, highly specific choice among late-20th-century German super-coupes. For collectors who value conceptual clarity in a road car, it remains a compelling study in intent and execution.
By contrast, the SLS AMG GT3 is a clear statement of competition logic. An aluminum spaceframe forms the foundation, with a dry-sump 6.2-liter V8 and an aero package tuned for stability and consistency over distance. The specification prioritizes durability, serviceability, and predictable performance—hallmarks of the modern GT era. Set against the broader field of contemporary customer racers, the SLS AMG GT3 occupies a well-defined position as a robust, readable platform that has proven its utility on track and its relevance within curated collections.
