Mercedes-Benz 500E (W124) World's Fastest Sedans

by Traian Popescu

Developed in conjunction with Porsche, the Mercedes 500E was based on the popular 300E model which had been released in 1986. Each 500E was transported back and forth between the Mercedes plant and Porsche's Rossle-Bau plant in Zuffenhausen during assembly and hand built, taking a full 18 days to complete each model. It was produced between 1992-94 in which time approximately 7200 cars were built.

Besides a totally new engine, the 500E was also equipped with a hydraulic self-leveling suspension, 11.8 inch vented discs in the front and 10.9 inchers in the back, wider wheels and tires and shorter and stiffer springs which lowered the 500E nearly an inch over the 300E. While the resulting slalom time is nothing to boast about (61 mph), the 500E still manages a healthy 0.84g on the skidpad and a sports-car-like 116 ft stopping distance. The engine was the same unit used in the 500SL but with a Bosch LH Jetronic fuel injection replacing the KE Jetronic and a redesigned intake manifold with longer runners that resulted in an additional 22 lb-ft of torque over that powerplant.

The four speed automatic transmission and rear axle were also sourced from the 500SL and the 500E was also equipped with standard ASR (traction control). While there was no factory option for an override switch, many aftermarket tuners could provide this, lowering 0-60 mph times into the 5 second ranges. There were a few other slight faults with the 500E as well. The single windshield wiper arm was not very efficient and the interior ergonomics were less than perfect while for the price, the 500E could still not deliver the same amount of all-out performance as the E34 M5.

The Mercedes was however an excellent Autobahn cruiser and could deliver a ride comfort and effortless power delivery at higher speeds in a manner that even the BMW M5 could not match.

MB Classic: 280E (W114) vs E500 Limited (W124) vs E63 AMG (W211)

by CAWIMMER430

I subscribe to Mercedes-Benz CLASSIC, an inhouse printed magazine from Mercedes and they usually have some awesome reports about older Mercedes cars, trucks, buses and sometimes modern cars. This is an article I scanned from an older issue where they compared the W114 280E to the W124 E500 and the W221 E63 AMG.

Each car tested was or is the top model in their respective lineup. The 280E topped the W114/W115 E-Class range in the 1960s until 1975. The well-known E500 was the range-topping W124 E-Class and is a collectors item already. And we all know that the E63 AMG is the most powerful MB-produced E-Class. Together, these range topper produce 1,019-horsepower.

280E, E500 and E63
The 280E belongs to Thomas Meyer, a history professor from Karlsruhe. The 185-horsepower 280E was the most expensive and most powerful midsize Mercedes in the mid 1960s. Meyer's 280E is a 1972 model with a 4-speed manual transmission. Back in its day, the 280E was easily regarded as the perfect "understatement" car. Classy and elegant flowing lines coupled to the traditional conservative ideology of the firm characterized the W114. All W114/W115's look the same visually, hence, it is easy to confuse a run-of-the-mill 200D with the 280E: base model vs top model. Auto Motor und Sport in 1972 wrote about the W114/W115, "If you badly want prestige, then this is the best car money can buy."

I enter the spacious cockpit of the 280E and immediately find myself at home. The classical instruments are typical Mercedes from the era, yet easy to read and understand. The cloth seats are soft and comfy. The 6-cylinder engine, with its Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection, runs smoothly, albeit a bit loud. I enjoy the eager nature of the 185-horses and their 9.8 second sprint to 100 km/h. Back in 1972, Auto Motor und Sport ranked the 280E as one of the fastest and sportiest cars on German roads beating sports cars such as the Mercedes 280SL "Pagoda", which took 11 seconds to reach 100 km/h.

Thomas Meyer bought his 280E second hand with 164,000 km on the clock. The previous owner had ordered the car with a few useful options. Only when it came to the transmission did he save money. A shame. At high speed, the 4-speed 280E is very loud and the engine rev's over the 6,000 redline. A 5th gear with longer ratios would have been useful. Inbetween 4,000 and 6,000 RPM, the 280E feels the liveliest.

The 280E handles decently, but the traction qualities of the small 185 sized tires reach their limit early preventing sporty driving. Often in curves, the driver will need to "steer" the car with braking and acceleration input. In short, the 280E is a wonderful cruiser, but nothing for the sporty-minded driver. The seats generally offer good side support, except when the car is driven in a sporty fashion.

And this is where the fun begins: the E500. Capable of being driven sporty on both Bundestrassen and the Autobahn, the E500 rocks to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds and never seems to want to stop. The first curve with the 280E was something to get used to: not here, the E500 handles confidently and the car seems to be glued to the road. Should you speed up to fast, don't sweat it, the brakes are excellent and stop the car quickly to controllable speeds. At speeds in curves where the 280E was at its limit, the E500 is still capable of being driven through with ease and even higher speeds. The V8 engine of this car is a joy. With 470 Nm of torque on tap (almost double that of the 280E), the E500 is a rocket. Midrange acceleration is quick and energetic and we never felt the engine run out of steam.

In handling, there are tremendous differences between the 280E and E500. Mercedes joined forces with Porsche to create the car. Porsche's primary duty was to fine-tune the suspension - and they did a terrific job at it. The steering is uncannily precise for a W124 E-Class and the handling is a phenomenal mix between sports sedan and luxury car. On the Autobahn especially, the E500 is a joy to drive. The stability and power of the car never cease to amaze. In 3rd gear on the Autobahn, the E500 can be driven to 170 km/h, Shift up into 4th and you quickly reach 250 km/h all the while being pushed back into the plush leather seats.

The 1994 500E seen here is owned by Alexander Klein, an automotive marketing expert working and living in Stuttgart. This particular E500 was part of the 500 unit "Limited Edition" series and was only available in Sapphire Black and Brilliantsilver. Being a limited edition model, this E500 was filled with a lot of standard equipment. Nevertheless, there were still many cost-options available to those for whom money was no object. Take for example the EVO II 8 1/4 x 17 rims, which the first owner had ordered before Alexander Klein bought the car with 71,000 km on the clock. Klein, however, only drives the car on special occassions. Since purchasing his E500 in 2003, he has only added 10,000 km to the car.

Impressed with the E500, I enter the E63 AMG: the newest and most powerful E-Class from the house of Mercedes-Benz. The moment I enter the smooth cabin, I feel as if I am in a spaceship. The W211 interior has more buttons than the W114 and W124 I just drove. No wonder that the instruction manual has grown to 406 pages (compared to 68 pages for the 280E and 140 pages for the E500). I don't let this bother me and seat myself into the soft Nappa-Alacantara leather combo seats and turn on the engine via start-button. The light alloy V8 awakes with a ferocious growl. 6208cc, 514-horsepower @ 6,800 RPM make it the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 on the planet. I engage the 7-speed automatic into D and let her rip. The AMG delivers a lot of punch at any RPM, and the engine response is beautiful too. At 2,000 RPM, the engine already deliver 500 Nm of torque. At 7,200 RPM, the fun stops as the engine speed is limited here.

In the 280E I drove towards the first curve, in the E500 I flew towards the first curve: in the E63 AMG, the curve jumped in my face at lightning speed. Yes ladies and gentleman, that's how fast this car is. The brakes are excellent and powerful. Overtaking is not an issue with the car, it's got the power. Before the driver can even finish his thoughts about overtaking the slower car, it's already happened.

The handling is superb - and best of all, the driving comfort doesn't suffer at all. Comfortable? Check. Sporty? Oh yeah. Amazing considering that the suspension of the E63 AMG is softer than that of the E500 Limited, and yet it outhandles that car too.

Compared to the E280 and E500, the E63 AMG seems to come from another planet - no, not planet, galaxy. Maximum power, driving pleasure and handling packaged into an everyday car. And yet, it is just the most recent creation of what began in the 1960s as the 280E...

W124 AMG Hammer: Ready for the Hammer party?

by Murilee Martin

No, not this Hammer Party, although the AMG Hammer came out around the same time as the Big Black album. We're talking about one of 21 American-built 1988 AMG "Hammer" Mercedes-Benz E-Class cars, which is up for sale with a Buy It Now of $89,999. Yes, even though this is a high-end, super-collectible factory musclecar, the seller feels compelled to do the "many nines" pricing routine more commonly associated with a clapped-out '86 Buick Somerset sitting on the Dollar Bill's Easy Autos lot with a Day-Glo "$1,999.99" sign on the windshield. But never mind that, because buying this car today is like buying an LS6 Chevelle 20 years ago; sure, it seems way overpriced now, but just wait another 20 years and see what happens! The only drawback here is the lack of the 32-valve 6-liter AMG engine, though the seller claims the 2-valve 5.6 is actually better. Either way, now that we're in a Hammer Party mood, make the jump to hear "Steelworker." Oh, and thanks to Schm for the tip! [eBay Motors]

History of W124

W124 was the internal chassis-designation for the 1985 to 1995 version of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The W124 models replaced the W123 models after 1985 and were superseded by the W210 E-Class after 1995.

The W124 was a substantial, mid-sized luxury vehicle platform, the last in a long line of "money-no-object" Mercedes-Benz saloons and was the result of extensive development. Estate cars (and optionally, saloons) had self-levelling rear suspension very similar to that of a Citroën BX; with gas-pressurised spheres, levelling suspension struts and an underbonnet pressurising pump. Unlike Citroën, Mercedes used rear springs as well as struts. Front suspension was more conventional.

It represented the pinnacle of road-going automotive technology at its introduction, incorporating innovations that were praised by the entire motoring press. It had one of the lowest coefficient of drag (CD) of any vehicle of the time (0.28 for the 200/200D model for European market with 185/65 R15 tires) due to its aerodynamic body (and set off a styling trend that was consequently copied by the entire industry) including plastic molding for the undercarriage to streamline airflow beneath the car, reducing fuel consumption and wind noise. It had a single windscreen wiper that extended and contracted in a synchronized manner to cover more surface area (by means of a mechanism at its base). It even had rear headrests that would fold down at the touch of a button on the dash to improve rearward visibility when appropriate. With the exception of the 200, which was equipped with a Stromberg carburetor but was not available to the United States, fuel injection was standard, and the engines incorporated various other features that resulted in the performance of some models rivaling that of certain sports cars of the time (within reason). It set the benchmark for passenger vehicles for the next decade or so. Mercedes-Benz's four-wheel drive system, the 4Matic was first introduced via W124 in 1986.

The estate cars (model designation S124) came in 5- or 7-seat models, the 7-seater having a rear-facing bench seat that folded flush luggage compartment cover and an optional until 1994 retractable cargo net. The S124 estate continued in production alongside the new W210 until the S210 estate launched more than a year later. A two door coupe version was also built, with the model designation C124.

Mercedes launched a cabriolet version in Europe in 1991, the 320CE, later re-designated as the E320, later followed by the less powerful, but less expensive E220, and the E 200. There were approximately 7 E36 right hand drive cabriolets built to compliment the slightly more numerous by still very rare E36 coupe, saloon and estate. The E320 and E220 cabriolets ceased production in 1997. The cabriolets remain very sought-after, being one of the few full-size sports convertibles. The E320, especially the Sportline E320, fetch well in excess of £20,000 (GBP) from specialist dealers.

The pre-facelift models from 1986 to 1993 used the model designations: 200, 230E, 260E, 280TE, 300E, , 300TE, 400E & 500E, diesels were the 200D, 250D & the 300D. Facelift models produced from 93' to 95' used the model designations: E200, E220, E280, E320, E420 & E500, the diesels still used the traditional method of naming , such as; 250D etc. The W124 series was one of the finest cars produced by Mercedes-benz, and with the V8's in the 400/420 & 500 it was super mighty, this car was simply in a supreme class of its own, typical of all E-classes.

SsangYong Motor Company of Korea licensed the W124 design and continues to produce a stretched version of the W124 as the Chairman, with a Ssangyong badge. It has a 2.9m wheelbase and 3.2L Mercedes straight-6 M104 engine. Chairman currently has 2.3L (M111), 2.8L (M104), and 3.2L(M104) engines in its product line ups. SsangYong Chairman has developed a 3.6L version of M104 engine recently for its high-end Chairman line up. The engine is called XGi360.

The W124 series is now recognised as one of the best-built and most reliable of Mercedes models. The W210, its successor, was one of the first products of a new regime that stopped the "over engineering" of Mercedes cars to reduce costs[citation needed]

To say Mercedes stopped 'over engineering' is too simple as the 210 was built with much the same engineering as the 124. The 210's problems with component failure and rust issues were due to the use of more environmentally friendly paints and delivery of sub-standard components.

Sportline Option

Mercedes-Benz offered an option called "Sportline" for the W124 and W201 chassis cars. This option was available in the North American market for the 1992-93 model year 190E 2.6, 1992-93 300E/300CE and 1993-95 E320/E320 Coupe. In the European market, however, the "SportLine" option was available for all body styles (e.g., estate/Estate, convertible) not just the Saloon or coupes. The option package included Sport Seating, wider low-profile wheels and tires, quick ratio steering, "Sportline" badges on the fender molding and transmission shifter, lowered ride height and most importantly a specially tuned suspension including specific springs, struts, swaybars, and bushings. Since the option can fit all body styles, it is popular upgrade that uses Mercedes-specific parts.

500 E

Mercedes also included a sport version of the W124, the 500 E, created in close cooperation with Porsche. It used the 5.0L 32-valve V8 from the R129 SL roadster, whilst Porsche slightly tweaked the suspension and chassis for better handling. This was one of Mercedes' super-saloons at the time.
