Mercedes-Benz 500E Parts

The Mercedes-Benz 500E is an exceptional vehicle. It's a mix of both high-performance engineering and luxury. This specific series from Mercedes-Benz was a collaboration with Porsche. Utilizing its powerful 5.0 L 32-valve V8 M119 engine, which was originally found in the 500 SL, it makes 326 PS (240 kW; 322 hp) and has a torque of 480 Nm (354 lb-ft). Going from a standstill to hitting speeds of up to 100 km/h (62 mph) is achieved in just under six seconds, at approximately 5.9 to be exact, and with its top speed capped at 250 km/h (155 mph). Porsche helped tune the chassis and suspension for the 500E to better reflect its sports sedan nature within the Mercedes-Benz lineup. Due to specialized manufacturing requirements, the assembly took place in Porsche's Zuffenhausen plant, where they added flared wheel arches that expanded its track width compared to other W124 models, giving it a more aggressive look overall. As expected with any Mercedes-Benz model, there are luxurious appointments and advanced features inside the 500E. Measuring approximately at about a length of 4,750 mm (187 inches), a width of 1,796 mm (71 inches), and a height of 1,410 mm (56 inches), you can tell this car will have lots of room for passengers and their belongings, as well as comfort all around. It weighs in at around 1,710 kg (3,770 lb), so you can imagine how solidly built it is while still carrying plenty of other options too. All these attributes combined make the Mercedes-Benz 500E one for the books because they speak volumes about what the perfect luxury-performance blend should be like.
