com/gp/ email protected /93928y A wolf in sheep's clothing Excellent award-winning example One of approximately 1,528 imported into the United States 326 horsepower, 354lb/ft torque 5.
0-liter V8 engine with 4-speed automatic transmission Built in a collaboration between Porsche and Mercedes-Benz in limited production Large collection of service documents, includes owner's manual One of the best under-the-radar cars in the automotive world is the Mercedes-Benz 500E.
Built in collaboration with Porsche in the early 90s, it is one of the greatest Q-ship sedans ever created.
Using parts from the SL sports car and accessing Porsche's handmade expertise, these special cars took an average of 18 days to build.
With the immensely powerful 326 horsepower 5.
0-liter V8 engine came impressive performance, clocking 0-60mph in under 6 seconds and a limited top speed of 155mph, all while maintaining the Mercedes-Benz level of quality and comfort.
A few clues gave away that this was not your ordinary W124 was its aggressive stance that has 1.
5-inch wider track, 0.
9-inch lower profile, flared fenders, side skirts, and a front air dam.
Thankfully the final package, to the untrained eye, was subtle enough to not attract unwarranted attention from law enforcement.
This excellent example was shipped from the Sindelfingen production plant on February, 1992 and was destined for the United States.
One of the approximately 1,528 examples imported to the U.
S.
from 1992 to 1995, it was a rare automobile to see out on the streets especially at the price point of $80,000 in 1992.
Purchased new from Indiana by its first owner in June of 1992, they managed to only put on 62,688 miles to the odometer during their 21-year ownership.
The original owner decided to sell the car in 2013, where it was brought to Georgia for a short period of time until its third owner.
In 2014 after the 500E was acquired, the new owner decided to have the vehicle serviced at Leistung Autohaus in Garden Grove, CA.
During this time at the shop, new euro headlights were installed as well as the brake system serviced and upgraded to Brembo calipers.
Some of the major servicing and repairs were performed at MBI Motors in Portland OR.
This included engine and transmission mounts, lower wiring/alternator harness, front lower control arms, etc.
The owner drove the car sparingly, adding just over 3,500 miles during his 5 years of ownership.
Upon arrival at Canepa, the Porsche-build Mercedes was inspected thoroughly from front to back.
The large collection of service documents gave evidence that it was properly maintained, the interior and exterior in excellent condition.
This super sedan was immediately placed into the Canepa Difference process, first going through an extensive mechanical inspection and servicing as needed.
To be sold with a pre-delivery Service, full concourse-show-level Canepa Difference Detail, Owners Manuals, and Service Records.
Now with the Porsche-built Mercedes-Benz completely prepped and ready for its next owner, this super sedan will live on as one of the most memorable sedans of its era.
Consisting of a joint venture that will never be forgotten, power and style that still to this day are plenty for under-the-radar driving, and the time-tested reliability of Mercedes-Benz, it's a true tour-de-force of 90s design.
Not many super sedans are able to attack the backroads but comfortably drive hundreds of miles, but the Mercedes-Benz 500E can.
So while your peers will be grunting about their backs and needing to stop often to stretch their legs, you'll be driving all day with a smile on your face, surrounded in comfort, design, and power.
