This is a 1993 Mercedes-Benz 400E 4.2 AMG Stage III finished in Black Pearl Metallic with a gray leather interior. This 400E is a Japanese-spec sedan that is titled in Delaware. Imported from Japan by the seller in October 2019, it is equipped with a metric instrument cluster and its odometer shows about 76,700 kilometers, which represents approximately 47,700 miles.
This 400E was built by AMG when it operated as an independent tuner that sold a handful of made-to-order cars, rather than as Mercedes-Benz’s volume-oriented performance sub-brand. It received a tuned V8 with specific cams, an AMG exhaust system, 17-inch wheels, a lower and firmer suspension system, a full AMG body kit, and AMG gauges, among many other add-ons. It is also equipped with a multi-piece aftermarket sound system.
Service records are not available, but the seller notes the engine oil and the spark plugs were recently changed, and the headliner and door pillars were reupholstered.
Most historians agree that fewer than 20 units of the AMG-tuned 400E were built exclusively for the Japanese market. Stage I cars received visual and chassis modifications, while Stage II and Stage III variants took performance further with engine upgrades and a specific design. Power comes from a 4.2-liter V8, which produces 244 horsepower and 260 ft-lb of torque, according to a dyno sheet shown in the gallery. The engine spins the rear wheels via a 4-speed automatic transmission.
