The SGS Arrow C1 is an ultra-rare, extravagant gullwing luxury sports car built in 1984–1985 by the famous German coachbuilder and tuning company Styling Garage (SGS). The car is heavily modified from a Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC (C126 coupe).

The body layout was heavily modified to match the retro-futuristic styling of the legendary Mercedes-Benz C111 experimental vehicle.
It features a stretched "flatnose" front end, pop-up headlights, and a laying-down radiator setup.
The restyled outer panels were partly molded from lightweight Kevlar, sporting shaved bumpers and massive faux side air intakes.
Features distinctive electro-hydraulic operating doors that lift vertically.
Fitted with deeply dished, period-correct BBS wheels wrapped in extra-wide 345/35 VR15 Pirelli P7 tires.
Adorned with a fully custom premium leather interior, a high-end vintage hi-fi audio system integrated into premium wood trims, electronic seat adjustments, and advanced seat climate controls.
Only 4 original units were ever officially assembled worldwide by the Hamburg-based tuner.
Out of the four pieces, three were equipped with gullwing doors, and only one single exclusive widebody version was created.
Due to extreme rarity and high coachbuilding historic value, documented restored specimens have a market valuation of over €600,000.

Too bad the 'only 20 picture' hinders me.

Even if you don't like it, you'd never say 'no' to a drive in it.

The front feels a little droopy, but it’s nice.

Not one picture with the doors closed.

It's because it flaps them to fly.

Never understood the appeal of bright red interiors... this is so bright in this light that I would be instantly angry.

Is that 2 stereos on the passenger side?

Why does a car built in '84-'85 have a web address on its VIN(?) tag? Later maintenance by the manufacturer?
AzureBelle@reddit
definitely added during a restoration.
