Only 12 ever made, but it costs a whopping $163,000 (at the current exchange rate)!

Next owner will most likely find it hard to tell his friends it's not 'just a Mercedes'. Lol.

But, if you could splash the cash, would you?

Yay! I love W124s and V8s and AMGs too much to say nay.

True, I think unless you're a hardcore collector it's not worthy of its price tag. But if you're genuinely on the look out for a rare, classic, fast car, then $163K? Noh blohdy weh!

Damn I meant to say that but I was thinking of the 7.3 AMGs and wrote V12s by accident haha

Step one: buy a very good condition 500e for about 15k
Step two: build twin turbo ls engine for $5-10k
Step three: put ls in 500e
Step four: ???????????
Step five: save 130 something grand AND have a car you can actually enjoy without worrying about rock chips or keeping it in perfect condition

$50k tops, considering a 500E is $25k now and the E60 AMG doesn't really boost performance that much.

Though I love these cars, for 100k this is someone obviously hunting the collectors value.

CP but I will give them props for having it correct.

This car's price tag seems like it's solely justified by its rarity.

I get that, but in the same sense no one is selling Yugos at premiums because they're rare here.

Step five is actually "use that $130k on servicing it."

Wow, does it come with the factory dead hooker in the trunk at that price?

Really? For a reliable LS engine? Or do you mean for the next 3000 years :p?

Oh, I assumed you were using a Mercedes-Benz engine. Carry on then.

Nope, twin turbo LS. Probably LSX
