German (english please scroll down) Die Abschlussrunde auf der Nordschleife bei dem trackday von trackdays.de am 30.10.2012. Tolles Event, super Orga.... wie immer. Auto ist gut gelaufen. Der Rauch, der ab und zu aus der Lüftung kommt, kommt von Kontakt des re. Reifens im inneren rechten Kotflügel, in welchem der Klimaeinlass liegt. Wenn der Reifen unter Vollast und Druck einfedert und auch noch ein Beifahrer an Bord ist, berührt der Reifen den Innenkotflügel mit Klimalufteinlass. Da müssen wir etwas bei der Freigängigkeit nachbessern, damit es dort beim Einfedern nicht mehr zum Schleifkontakt kommt. Auf der teilweise eisglatten Nordschleife haben wir ein schöne Zeit mit dem Imperator erzielen können. Das Auto ist ziemlich komfortabel abgestimmt, die Kameraposition (Saugnapf an der Plexiglasheckscheibe) ist zwar schön, aber gegen die Vibrationen kann auch eine GoPro nichts ausrichten. Unterm Strich.... Für ein Auto was 1978-1983 konzeptioniert und auf die Straße gebracht wurde, mehr als beachtlich. Danke an Herrn Melcher für den tollen Motor, Danke und tiefste Verneigung an ISDERA (eberhard Schulz & Söhne) für diesen Traumwagen. Die Macht ist mit uns ;-) von aussen / from the outside: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zC3-YIh5IWo 2. lap http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osv8bGMsDuk some facts to this car: presented as CW311 Mercedes Study in 1978. The only study, which was made by a non mercedes company, which was allowed to use the "star". The car in the video is number 14 of 17 (series I. From Series II there where made 13 pieces). The car was built in 1988 and has a old AMG 6.0-32v engine (modified 5.0l Mercedes V8) instead of the 560 V8 which came as the standard engine. The smoke in the vid: Nothing dangerous, just a restoration mistake from 2006. On the right side there is an airintake in the wheelhouse, above the front tyre, for the air-condition....and a little bit to much material. Due to the weight of the copilot and the massive compression in that downhill left corner "fuchsröhre" with around 120mph, the left fronttyre had contact with the airintake, and smoke (plastic, tyre) came into the airconditionsystem for a second. On the road it never happened. After that trackday the airintake was restored properly by isdera with the right dimensions. The track was cold and partly wet and it had ice and snow in the morning

About Isdera Imperator 108i

The Isdera Imperator 108i is a low-volume German sports car produced from 1984 to 1993. The Imperator 108i was born out of the CW311 concept car from 1978, which Eberhard Schulz, who at the time worked as a design engineer for Porsche, designed in his free time, using Mercedes parts, mainly the V8 engines. Mercedes-Benz allowed the use of the Mercedes badge and name but had no interest in putting the CW311 into production, so Schulz established his own engineering company, Isdera, to produce the...
