The 500 E was created in close cooperation with Porsche; each 500 E was hand-built by Porsche. being transported back and forth between the Mercedes plant and Porsche's Rossle-Bau plant in Zuffenhausen. Germany during assembly — taking a full 18 days to complete each model. Design began in 1989 and into 1991. Called '500 E' through model year 1993. for model year 1994 it was face-lifted along with the rest of the range and renamed to 'E 500'. Specifications and General InformationThe 500 E had a naturally aspirated 5. 0L V8 engine derived from the 500 SL (R129) roadster. Sports car braking performance also came from SL components: front SL 500 300 mm disks with 4-piston calipers came installed on the 1992 and early 1993 cars. The later 1993. and all 1994 cars came with the upgraded 320 mm set taken from the 600 SL. Rear brakes on all years were 278 mm brakes from the 500 SL.
