True to the "Albanian nature", this car is Mercedes.
That's, of course, stereotypical of Albanians- - and somewhat true. However, I was very pleased that this S-Class was a modern upscale car. A coule of Albanians have pleased me in recent years, with 2020 being a complete failure, of course.
The sides of the headlights are yellow, as if they are fading towards the orange blinkers. This probably means this was a French sold Mercedes (thanks Wouter in the comments).

The design work for the coupé began immediately after the approval of the sedan. Special attention was given to improved aerodynamics, with a drag coefficient of 0,34. The SEC luxury coupé was presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1982. The 560 followed 3 years later as the most powerful model, with a new V8 engine producing 300 hp. At the time, the S-Class belonged to the very best available on the car market, especially with this engine. This coupé also had no competition in its market segment. But it came with a hefty price tag - it was more expensive than a Ferrari Testarossa.
