Mercedes had a simple goal in the 1990s for their “W124” generation of E-Class: to once again prove to the world that their Munich-based rival BMW was not the king of sports sedans. To accomplish this goal, Porsche partnered with Mercedes to redesign the E-Class and fit a 5.0-liter V8 and then offered production assistance when the newly wider sports sedan (by two inches) wouldn't fit down the standard production line! The lengthy build process between Mercedes' Sindelfingen plant and Porsche's Karosserie Baur in Zuffenhausen took a remarkable 18 days!

As a final send-off for Mercedes' super sedan, a limited variant was available in 1994 and 1995. Denoted on the Data Card as option code 958, these cars were identifiable by the now famous patterned leather found on the front and rear seat center inserts, steering wheel, gear selector knob, and even the owner's manual pouch. Additionally, exclusive bird's-eye maple wood trim and 17-inch EVO II forged alloy wheels were unique to the car. When production ceased, a total of 951 E 500 Limiteds were produced. However exclusive the E 500 may have been, there was an even rarer variant produced, the E 60 AMG with its 381 horsepower, hand-built 6.0-liter V8. If selected, the AMG Technology Package option code 957 would appear on the data card. Combining the 957 and 958 option codes created one of the rarest and most highly prized variants of the W124 line, the E 60 AMG Limited.

The 1995 E 60 AMG Limited on offer is one of these highly sought after sport sedans, of which it is believed only 45 examples were built. Ordered new through the Munich sales branch, this example was specified in Sapphire Black Metallic (009) over a Gray leather (288) interior. More than just an upgraded engine, the AMG Technology Package also included an AMG exhaust system and an upgraded AMG tuned suspension, which was further enhanced with the 17 inch “Aero III” three-piece wheels with body-colored centers.

The accompanying history file shows that the car was in Japan prior to its importation to the United Arab Emirates in 2014. Once in Dubai, the car received regular servicing through 2021. The car was then imported to the United States in 2023. Exceedingly rare and highly desirable, this 1995 Mercedes-Benz E 60 AMG Limited is the ideal opportunity to experience the ultimate 1990s Mercedes super sedan.
