Mercedes-Benz 500SEL - W140 (1992 to 1993)

The Mercedes-Benz 500SEL was a variant of the W140 S-Class Sedan that was introduced for the 1992 model year. The 500 SEL was built on the long wheel base for the W140 platform, and was powered by Mercedes' M119 E50 engine. This 5.0L V8 engine generated 315hp which was sent to the rear wheels via a 4 or 5 speed automatic transmission. The 500SEL became known as the S500 Long in 1993 when Mercedes changed their naming conventions, although the car offered remained the same.
