The 1993 Isdera Commendatore 112i is a mid-engined concept car manufactured by Isdera in 1993.

Hand built in a small workshop at Leonberg, Germany, some of its distinctive characteristics are its long, bullet-like body as well as gull-wing, an external rear-view mirror mounted above the driver's head, a velocity-sensitive electronic active chassis that can lower the ride height by three inches (76 mm), and an electronically controlled airbrake spoiler.

The Commendatore 112i is powered by a customised Mercedes-Benz 6.0L V12 engine, uses headlights sourced from the Porsche 968 and has interior featuring RECARO leather seats.

Its sole produced unit was bought in Switzerland in the late 1990's and underwent a series of modifications which gave the nickname "Silver Arrow" to the modified car, including conventional rear-view mirrors and Mercedes-Benz wheels. Years later, the car would be sold back to Isdera which would restore it to its original state, including the golden BBS wheels.

Games

Description

“	Hand-built in a small workshop in Leonberg, Germany, the Isdera Commendatore 112i defines the meaning of a rare, high-performance exotic supercar. The most distinct visual characteristics of the 112i are its long, bullet-like body, dramatic gull wing doors for passenger entry and engine access, and an external rearview mirror mounted above the driver’s head. A novel velocity sensor of electronically active chassis improves handling at high speeds by automatically lowering the entire car by a full three inches, and rear downforce and traction are increased during braking at high speeds by an electronic rear spoiler. Powered by a customized six-liter Mercedes V12, this two-seater’s impressive 408 horsepower engine can reach 60 miles per hour in less than 4.1 seconds. With a dazzling 212 miles per hour top speed, responsive yet stable controls, and sleek styling, the exotic Commendatore 112i is well worth the six month wait necessary for its construction.	”
