Model history

The Mercedes-Benz 500 E, known as the E 500 from 1994 onward, was produced between 1990 and 1995 in cooperation with Porsche. To accommodate the 5.0-liter V8 in the W124, the body was specially adapted and assembly was partially carried out at Porsche in Zuffenhausen. Thanks to this elaborate manufacturing process, the E 500 is still considered an exclusive sports sedan that combines understated elegance with impressive performance.
