Message from the Seller

Offered for sale is an incredibly rare 1992 Mercedes Benz 500 E. This vehicle was the product of a collaboration between Mercedes Benz and Porsche back in the early ‘90s. Mercedes contracted Porsche to re-design and then build its E class into a performance-oriented sedan. The existing small engine bay of the W124 E-Class was crammed full with the 5.0-liter V8 from the R129 500SL. The front end had to be widened in order for the engine to fit at all, which is why the 500 E wears flared front fenders. The extra heft from the large engine meant a suspension rework. All that was left was to fit the four-speed automatic from the SL. It shifted 322 horsepower through the rear wheels, for a 0 to 60 time of 6.1 seconds. Top speed was 161 miles per hour.Porsche built the 500 E at its factory in Stuttgart. Mercedes manufactured the parts and shipped them to Porsche, who then hand-assembled the 500 E's chassis and body. The cars were then shipped back to the Mercedes plant and painted.
