1990-1995 Mercedes-Benz 500E
The famously bulletproof W124 Mercedes sedan was a handsome car that radiated a timeless quality. And then Porsche got its hands on it.
The 959 assembly line sat idle after the final 1989 production run. Financial times were tight and new-model Porsches gathered dust in showrooms. In contrast, Mercedes-Benz R&D was tapped-out, busy with new model launches on the horizon. Porsche's bored eyes lingered on Mercedes' blooming order sheets, and a fleeting partnership was formed.
While Benz called the shots on what it wanted the 500E to be, it was Porsche that made it special. Cars would leave Mercedes-Benz to spend time at Rössle Bau, where Porsche massaged the flanks to allow widened 16-inch alloys, installed an all-aluminum, five-liter V8 under hood, and fitted a reinforced rear suspension. Then, these cars would be sent back to the M-B shop for paintwork. Following that, each 500E would return to Zuffenhausen for further final assembly.
After 18 days of being shuttled between parents like a kid in a custody battle, you might expect the 500E to be a little confused—all the more impressive then, this behemoth's singularity of purpose. The 500E is kicked down the road with the relentless prodding of 326 normally-aspirated horsepower, while four passengers fit within the confines of well-bolstered, leather-trimmed Recaros.

Dit klinkt trouwens wel als een aannemelijk oorsprongsverhaal voor de 500E1990-1995 Mercedes-Benz 500E
