Model history
The Mercedes-Benz 500 E, produced between 1990 and 1995, is considered a milestone among the brand's high-performance vehicles. Based on the W124 series, the model received extensive technical modifications that clearly set it apart from its series brothers. To implement these changes, a powerful 5.0-liter V8 engine was installed, which required a complete overhaul of the chassis, body and drivetrain. A special feature of the 500 E is the close cooperation with Porsche during development and production. Due to the complex modifications, assembly was not carried out at the regular Mercedes-Benz plants, but partly at Porsche's production facilities.

Questions and Comments
Technik: "The king of the Mercedes-Benz E-class".... Im Angebot der W 124-Limousinen nahm der 500 E, der 1990 ebenfalls in Paris vorgestellt wurde, von Anfang an eine Sonderstellung ein. Er wurde in Kooperation mit Porsche entwickelt, wo die notwendigen Umkonstruktionen für die Aufnahme des 5l-V8-Motors aus dem SL (M 119 E 50) vorgenommen wurden, und im Porsche-Werk 1 in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen teilmontiert. 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.
