THE MERCEDES-BENZ 500E
Mercedes-Benz introduced a muscular new W124 at the 1990 Paris Salon. The 500E super saloon had been developed with surprise assistance from Porsche, and was even hand built at Porsche's Zuffenhausen factory, with its subtly widened bodywork hiding a potent 5.0-liter, 32-Valve V8, massive brakes, and reworked suspension.
The production process involved each and every 500E being transported back and forth between the Mercedes plant and Porsche's Rossle-Bau factory in Zuffenhausen; each car taking a full eighteen days to complete. Despite possessing all the luxury accoutrements associated with a flagship Mercedes-Benz, the 500E was lighter than the 500 SL sports car. Powered by the latter's 326bhp V8 engine, the 500E delivered shattering performance, reaching 100km/h (62mph) in 6.1 seconds and topping out at around 260km/h (162mph), yet retaining the vault-like quality and dependability that made the standard W124 a legend.
THE CAR OFFERED
The Mercedes-Benz 500E offered here hails from 1992 and is an excellent, cherished example benefiting from recent cost-no-object maintenance and showing 125,421 miles at the time of cataloguing. Beautifully presented in Blue-Black Metallic (199U) with gray cladding and Anthracite leather (271), it looks particularly fetching sitting on factory 500E Evo wheels. For the purist, the original alloys will be included. Options include the rear roller blind, heated electrically adjustable memory front seats, automatic climate control, adjustable steering column, sunroof, and Becker Grand Prix 2000 radio.
The consignor reports that between 2021 and 2023, this car received $13,000 in maintenance to the fuel system, ignition, cooling system, climate control, suspension, and brakes. The suede headliner was replaced, and the car received new fluids, filters, and new Continental tires. It has been enjoyed as intended, participating in the Tejas Turismo, Texas Hill Country Rally in 2023. Original books, owner's manuals, warranty card, emergency accessories, Carfax Report and recent service records are included.
The 500E is a rising star for collectors, appealing to both Mercedes-Benz and Porsche enthusiasts alike, or anyone who appreciates a rock-solid, mile-crushing muscle car in a finely tailored suit.
