1992 Mercedes-Benz 500E w124 Black Pearl Metallic
The characteristic features of the 500 E included subtly flared wings, fog lights integrated into the front apron and 16-inch alloy wheels with an eight-hole design and wide 225/55 ZR 16 tires. The body was 23 mm lower than other models and to compensate for load-induced spring compression the rear axle was fitted with hydropneumatic level control as standard. Bodyshell construction and final assembly were done at Porsche in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, while the Sindelfingen plant retained responsibility for the paintwork and delivery. In the Mercedes palette, the color Black Pearl Metallic (199) first appeared in 1985. For the Mercedes-Benz 500E w124, this color has become the base. Although at first glance similar to its sister models, the 500E boasted a 326 hp 5.0-liter V8 four-valve engine. With four-speed automatic transmission fitted as standard and a top speed limited to 250 km/h, the 500 E managed 0-100 km/h in 5.9 seconds. #500e #w124 #wolf #oldbenz photo: Next Classics, 500e.nl
