The Mercedes-Benz 500E is a supercar produced in collaboration with Porsche-AG from 1991-1995. The vehicle is based on the W124 chassis (1986-1995 officially) although the 500E is a totally different animal to its cousins. They produced around 10,249 supercars (1600 only forUS market)all in LHD combined with the 5.0L V8 engine producing 326bhp power and 354 lb/ft of torque coupled to the 4-speed automatic gearbox.
