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. This example has just 64,435 miles and is finished in Black Pearl Metallic over a gray leather interior. This is an amazing opportunity to own an incredibly rare example of automotive history that was built by two of the greatest auto manufacturers in the world.
