Each E500 was hand built in Mercedes-Benz and Porsche factories taking a full 18 days to complete. These were very special cars. They could be identified by their flared fenders, deep front spoiler, and aggressive stance. These cars were equipped with all of the Mercedes-Benz options that were available since this was their premium performance model of the time.
