Time to give away some points. You know the drill - tell me the name of the car pictured below and you'll be awarded a point   :)

Since there seems to be a rookie drought, I'm posting it straight in the experts section.

It is a Mercedes 500 SEC first modified by Sbarro, with gullwing  doors and turbocharged engine, and then modified again by the belgian company Carat-Duchatelet : his name is Duchatelet ( or Carat-Duchatelet, or simply Carat ) Albatross

True, but that's not enough.

It is a Mercedes 500 SEC first modified by Sbarro, with gullwing  doors and turbocharged engine, and then modified again by the belgian company Carat-Duchatelet : his name is Duchatelet ( or Carat-Duchatelet, or simply Carat ) Albatross

Yes, it's a Carat Albatross, which is a Sbarro Bi-Turbo refurbished by the Belgian company Carat by Duchatelet. Considering that Sbarro Bi-Turbo was an evolution of Sbarro Sahin, which itself was a heavily modified Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC, one can say that this car has a rather complicated family tree. Good job, franck.kegelart, here's a point for you :)
