Kickdown's Take
by Moritz NiemannThe E420 is the epitome of understated elegance. The understated W124 body, combined with the powerful V8 engine, makes this car a tasteful, high-performance sedan that has seen a significant increase in value in recent years. What makes this classic silver vehicle special is its AMG look, featuring an exhaust system, front and rear skirts, and alloy wheels. With a freshly overhauled engine, this is a truly top-notch example!

Model history
The Mercedes-Benz W124 was introduced in the mid-1980s as the successor to the W123 series and set new standards in terms of quality, safety, and durability. Developed based on the smaller W201, it combined modern design with innovative technology. Particularly as the 420 E with a V8 engine, it is now one of the most sought-after variants in the series, offering classic Mercedes flair with powerful motorization.

Questions and Comments
Technik: Eine weniger herausragende Stellung nahm der mit 4,2 Litern Hubraum motorisierte 400 E ein, der im September 1991 debütierte und mit der Modellpflege 2 in E 420 umbenannt wurde. Da er den V8-Motor M 119 E 42 hatte, der in den Außenabmessungen dem stärkeren M 119 E 50 des 500 E/E 500 entsprach, mussten an der Karosserie des 400 E/E 420, die ebenfalls von Porsche entwickelt wurde, dieselben Veränderungen vorgenommen werden, um Motor und Technik zu implantieren. Auch Antriebsstrang, Fahrwerk und Bremsen waren bis auf Details in gleicher Weise modifiziert. Im Gegensatz zum 500 E/E 500 erhielt er jedoch keine Kotflügelverbreiterungen und geänderte Scheinwerferkonfiguration, die diesen vom Rest der W 124-Familie absetzte. Daher unterschied sich der 400 E/E 420 äußerlich bis auf das Typenschild nicht von den Sechszylindermodellen. LG Tom
