Mercedes Benz 500 E W124 (1992)
Kickdown's Take
by Moritz HelbichThe 500 E is considered one of the most sought-after Mercedes models of the 1990s: Manufactured in collaboration with Porsche, this W124-series sedan combines a 5.0-liter V8 engine producing 326 PS with understated elegance. This example in Nautic Blue was completely repainted by its previous owner; the underbody and axles were sandblasted, and a total of over 35,000 euros was invested in the vehicle. Classic Analytics has certified it with a grade of 2. A classic with lasting value for connoisseurs!

Questions and Comments
Technik: Das ist der Wolf im Schafsfell!!! Im Angebot der W 124-Limousinen nahm der 500 E, der 1990 auf dem Pariser Autosalon vorgestellt wurde, von Anfang an eine Sonderstellung ein. Daimler Benz ließ die notwendigen Umkonstruktionen der Rohkarosserie für die Aufnahme des 5-Liter-V8-Motors aus dem SL (M 119 E 50), des deutlich größeren Antriebsstrangs und des Fahrwerks von Porsche vornehmen, weil die eigenen Ingenieure zu dieser Zeit mit der Entwicklung der neuen S-Klasse des Baumusters W 140 ausgelastet waren. Der 500 E wurde dann auch im Porsche-Werk 1 in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen montiert. Der Hauptgrund dafür war ein Problem der Fertigungsstraße für den W 124 in Sindelfingen: Die gegenüber den anderen W 124-Modellen 5,6 cm breitere Karosserie des 500 E passte an drei Stellen nicht hindurch. So einigte man sich mit Porsche, auch die Montage in Zuffenhausen durchzuführen. Dazu lieferte Daimler-Benz die meisten Teile für die Karosserie an Porsche, wo sie unter Verwendung weiterer Teile von Zulieferern sowie Teilen, die Porsche selbst herstellte, montiert wurden. Porsche stellte z. B. die Vorderkotflügel her, die aus Serienkotflügeln entstanden, in die die Verbreiterungen eingeschweißt wurden. Die komplettierte Karosserie wurde anschließend per Lkw nach Sindelfingen geschickt und dort lackiert. Die Endmontage und Motorbestückung fand wieder in Zuffenhausen statt. Schließlich wurden die fertigen Fahrzeuge zur Endkontrolle und Abnahme erneut nach Sindelfingen transportiert. Die Herstellung eines 500 E dauerte 18 Tage. Mit der Modellpflege 2 wurde der 500 E in E 500 umbenannt.
