not too much, the guy in the picture is my friend, he drives the green E500. Basically it has different hood, Headlights, rear chrome trunk strip and has a little less horsepower than the 92. :)

:D :D
I didn't see the bloke standing there.  I meant the green car.  I could imagine how fun the drive would've been.  Side by side hill climb  with occasional drifting ;D

Two more q's.  What's the go with different rear number plates? And were there any 500e's in RHD or e500's for that matter?  I'll have to look at that link again you gave me before.

I think I am correct in saying that the earlier 500e's have the same motor as the early R129 500SL's - ie KE-jet.  The e500 would have, like the later R129's, the later engine which I think is LH-jet like the W140's.

As much as I like my LH-jet S500, I  have to say that my dad's KE-jet 500SL is fabulous.  Plenty grunt.

Ryan,

There is a 500E coming on the market here, but the queue is out the door. I hear they went to Porsche for the touches and all are LHD. I think it is a really nice car.

500Eguy, the 116 must seem a bit pedestrian compared to that brute beauty?

My 450 SEL does'nt have all the grunt of the 500e or the 6.9 but i really do appreciate it.....it just feels very cool:).

I don't think they ever made a RHD 500E but i could be wrong. Yes the KE Jet is supposed to have a bit more grunt the the LE, The car feels like it has limitless torque. I put my German Plate on there to give it a cool german look, it is not legal....although i think it looks very cool:)
