Sold out
Mercedes 500 E W124 Bornit Metallic Norev 1:18 183948 Diecast
1 / 8
Norev's 1:18 diecast Mercedes 500E W124 wears period-correct Bornit Metallic over the muscular executive saloon that Mercedes and Porsche developed together. This used example has opening doors, bonnet and boot; the box carries traces of storage while the model itself remains sound. A quietly significant subject for a Mercedes performance sedan display.

About the Mercedes 500 E W124 Bornit Metallic Norev 1:18

TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Mercedes 500E W124 in Bornit Metallic reproduces the Porsche-assembled sports saloon, with opening doors, bonnet and boot exposing the widened engine bay. This used model's box shows traces of storage, the casting itself intact. A subtly muscular executive sedan subject with genuine engineering pedigree.

The 500E was so wide beneath its bodywork that Mercedes had Porsche hand-assemble each car, dropping a V8 into a chassis never designed to carry one, and disguising the whole exercise behind subtly flared arches.

Norev's Diecast Approach to the 500E

This 500E is a zinc alloy diecast, and its weight in the hand matches the real car's reputation for feeling denser and more substantial than the standard W124 saloon it was based on. Doors, bonnet and boot open, revealing the widened engine bay that Porsche's V8 conversion demanded, along with the cabin trim behind those subtly flared sills. Diecast panel gaps sit at typical width, a fair trade given how much this subject's story lives under the bonnet rather than in razor-sharp exterior lines. Bornit Metallic is a genuinely period-correct colour for the 500E, carrying warm metallic depth under a spotlight that suits the saloon's understated, deliberately low-key presentation far better than a brighter modern hue. As a used piece, the box shows the traces of storage stated on the listing; the casting itself presents the paintwork cleanly.

A Sleeper Sedan in a Themed Collection

The 500E's appeal has always rested on the gap between its restrained looks and its genuinely serious performance, a formula that predates the modern sports-sedan segment by years. Displayed beside a standard W124 saloon, the widened arches and lowered stance become obvious by contrast, a comparison that tells the 500E's story better than any specification sheet could. The opening bodywork earns its place on a subject like this, since the widened engine bay is precisely the detail that separates the 500E from an ordinary Mercedes saloon, and a sealed body would leave that distinguishing feature entirely hidden from view.
