W124 E500 0-100 km/h

[Clementsfootball08]

The earlier 500e's were actually faster due to stricter emission standars after 92 i think. A 91' 500e should do 0-60 in about 5.5 seconds, upper 4s and lower 5s if you tune it for a 1st gear start and add a traction control button to turn it off.

The traction control (ASR) limits the power during a kickdown, so eliminating it can decrease times a decent bit, especially with proper tires.

the 1994 E500 does 5.6 seconds 0-100km the 92-93 500E does 6.0 flat 0-100km It also depends on the driver, these guys had a bad start and the camera was shaking

@Atca09

Thats Wrong, the official number measured by a light-barrier to REAL 100km/h - NOT lame km/h after Speedometer - is between 6.0 and 6.3 Seconds. This depends on various Factors like weight, wheels, your right foot and especially how good the early Mercedes ASR is limiting torque.

The Facelift2/MOPF2 1993 Models without WOT and only 320 instead of 326HP, even has 0.1 Seconds less from 0-100km/h.

Of course Personal Figures are Different, my 1992 makes 5.9 secs when believing the speedo.

[w123boy]

E500 can do it faster, in 6 seconds or so. still its a very great car with nice acceleration

[DonRaul99]

Should not.

A 1994 sl500 has 320hp and weights about 2 tons! =6,25kg/hp

A 1993 E500 has 326hp and weights 1,7 tons.

=5,21kg/hp

shut up nerd

[marioglobal7]

@mistervova11 hahaha You really made me laugh now, thanks

I needed that

[alirteil]

shudn't a sl500 1994 be able to beat a car like this???? it has 347ft\lb torque and 335hp that shud be enough

[acalthu]

Spam detector won't late me post links :( I'll PM them to you

[bentleyv8t]

does it have the same v8 as the one in a W126 500SEL? urgently need to know

[Pioneer53]

No

The 500SEL is about 250HP

The E500 in this video has 320HP

[bentleyv8t]

yeah, but in stock condition is it the same engine as the 500sel?

[Pioneer53]

I dont know. I thougt they are both different engines. but i am not sure

[acalthu]

Different engine. and it's 500E. afaik they never got the E500 designation. The first AMG models were called 500E-60 but a few did come as E60.

[marvinbenz]

Thats incorrect,The 500E had a dual camshaft 32-valve V8 engine naturally aspirating 322 hp (240 kW) and 480 N·m (354 ft·lbf), with the engine being derived from the R129 500SL roadster.That was way before the E50 of 96 or E55 of 98 with AMG logos.

[acalthu]

I was referring to the AMG W124s prior to AMG becoming part of the Mercedes Benz. There indeed was an AMG version of the 500E, it's uber rare. They were more powerful than the W210 series E55s.

[acalthu]

Actually it *is* correct. AMG did come out with an AMG version of it called the E60, with some early cars marked as 500E-60. Here are some scans of a German magazine article. If the links don't work for you I'll email them. And also one for sale. Links to follow.

[marvinbenz]

For the 1993 and 1994 model years, a small number of 500E/E500 sedans were outfitted with a 6.0L M119 V8 engine by tuner AMG. These models were called the "E60 AMG" and produced up to 400 hp (298 kW). The E60 AMG carried a 381BHP engine which helped the car accelerate to 60 MPH in 5.3 seconds[3] - compared to the 500E's claimed 5.9 seconds. Modifications included the replacement of the original components with AMG parts, including the suspension, exhaust system, and instrument cluster.

[marvinbenz]

An apology is in order,you were indeed correct.

[acalthu]

that's is quite alright. i too stumbled upon this secret quite by accident. always happy to help a fellow benz fan. BTW i've got an E36 W124 myself. not quite the rocket the E60 is but still very nice.

[marvinbenz]

do you know how many E36 were produced?

[acalthu]

I have no idea really. I can't find any exact figures on it, not even when I was in the UK, where I bought this from. Next year I will be travelling to the US, so maybe I will get more information there.

[diaconovic]

The 126 500sel have the old V8 version called M117
