1990 Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II To keep competitive in the Group A Touring Car Championship, Mercedes unveiled the 2.5-16 Evolution II at the 1990 Geneva Motor Show. The most radical departure from the standard 190 was its body kit which included an outrageous rear wing, probably the largest ever fitted to a Mercedes four door. At the time, Group A homologation dictated that the The Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II came with a 2.5-liter inline-four AMG PowerPack engine rated at 232 horsepower (235 ps) and 181 lb-ft (245 Nm) of torque.

Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5–16 Evo II: The Story of the Cosworth-Powered, AMG-Tuned Legend Published: 22 Nov 2023, 17:31 UTC • By: Vlad Radu Produced in a limited series of just over 500 units, the This is a video of the 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II in Forza Horizon 4. Check out my playlist of Forza Horizon 4 cars here: https://www.youtub British company Cosworth developed the 16-valve, 204 PS four cylinder engine in the 2.5-16, allowing Mercedes to take the 190 E racing with a production run of road going examples for homologation purposes. This 2.5-16 model followed the earlier 2.3-16 and was soon improved in the Evolution I & II models. In 1990, Mercedes-Benz introduced the 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II. Taking what the Evo I had created and improving on it, the Evo II featured numerous mechanical upgrades, as well as the distinctive body kit and rear spoiler. The body kit and wing were not just for show, they improved the car's drag coefficient while also increasing downforce. JmZkkQ. Żadna homologacyjna kolekcja nie obędzie się bez EVO II. Baby Benz, stworzony jako baza dla samochodów DTM, to marzenie wielu. Zrodzony z intensywnej rywalizacji z doskonałym BMW M3, Mercedes-Benz 190E był wynikiem współpracy ze słynną firmą inżynieryjną Cosworth. Podwozie W201 zostało wyposażone w większe stabilizatory, twardsze tuleje, mechanizm różnicowy o ograniczonym poślizgu, twardsze amortyzatory i bardziej bezpośrednie przełożenie układu kierowniczego. Getrag dostarczył pięciobiegową skrzynię w układzie dogleg, następnie Cosworth wziął standardowy, 8-zaworowy silnik o pojemności 2,3 litra i modernizując go, udoskonalił. W przypadku modelu Evolution II inżynierowie wycisnęli imponującą moc 232 KM. Wyższy limit obrotów, większe hamulce i lepsze opony oznaczały, że Evolution przyspieszał i zatrzymywał się lepiej, niż kiedykolwiek wcześniej. Dalsze udoskonalenia obejmowały szerszy rozstaw kół, sztywniejsze, regulowane zawieszenie oraz zmodyfikowane nadwozie. Wizualnie prawdziwą atrakcją Evo II jest zestaw aerodynamiczny, który zawiera wysoki tylny spojler, imponujące błotniki i jeszcze bardziej agresywny przedni splitter. Oferowany na aukcji Mercedes 190E Evo II to numer 146 z 502 egzemplarzy. Jako nowy został dostarczony do Mercedes-Benz Mannheim w kwietniu 1990 roku, w intrygującej specyfikacji. W standardowym odcieniu Blauschwartz Metallic z podgrzewanymi siedzeniami, zewnętrznym czujnikiem temperatury, elektrycznie sterowanym szyberdachem, tylnymi głośnikami, radiem Panasonic, a także kierownicą z poduszką powietrzną oraz rzadko spotykaną w tym tapicerką ze wstawkami z kraciastej tkaniny. Po kilku latach pobytu na rodzimym rynku, Evo II zostało wyeksportowane do Japonii. Przywiezione do Stanów Zjednoczonych w 2015 roku, wkrótce potem trafiło w ręce obecnego właściciela. 22 stycznia wylicytowany został za 268800 dolarów, czyli ponad milion złotych. 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190 E Evolution II © 2020 RM Sothebys Link: 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190 E Evolution II Offered Without Reserve Sold For $268,800 RM | Sotheby’s – ARIZONA 22 JANUARY 2021 – The Homologation Collection Chassis No. WDB2010361F735977 A DTM homologation special from Mercedes-Benz No. 146 of 502 examples produced Delivered new to Germany, later exported to Japan 232 hp, 16-valve inline-four engine by Cosworth Five-speed Getrag manual transmission Born from intense competition with BMW’s superb M3, the Mercedes-Benz 190 E was the result of a partnership with famed engineering firm Cosworth. The W201 chassis was beefed up with larger anti-roll bars, harder bushings, limited-slip differential, quicker dampers, and a faster steering ratio. Getrag provided the five-speed dogleg gearbox to ensure fast and easy gear selection. Cosworth then took the standard 8-valve engine and fitted a light alloy cylinder head, dual-overhead cams, and four valves per cylinder. Continued development resulted in an increase in engine displacement to in 1988 and the homologated Evolution variants of the 190 Cosworth. The initial “Evo” model overhauled the platform into a thoroughbred racer by installing a tuned version of the motor. A higher rev limit, larger brakes, and improved tires meant the Evolution accelerated and stopped better than ever before. Further enhancements included a wider front and rear track, stiffer adjustable suspension, and revised bodywork. For the Evolution II model, the engineers squeezed out an impressive 232 horsepower. Uprated Brembo four-piston calipers were quick to bring the car to a halt. Visually, the true highlight of the Evo II is the aero kit that features a towering rear spoiler, imposing fender flairs, and an even more aggressive front splitter. This Evo II offered here is the 146th of 502 built; it was delivered new to Mercedes-Benz Mannheim in April of 1990 complete with an intriguing suite of “touring” specifications. Clad in the standard shade of Blauschwartz Metallic over Anthracite leather, this example’s build record indicates the fitment of heated seats, an external temperature sensor, power sunroof, rear speakers, and a Panasonic radio with traffic bulletin decoder. The cabin of this Evo II also features an airbag steering wheel and cloth pepita seat inserts and door cards rarely seen in the model. After several years of residence in its home market, this Evo II was exported to Japan. It was imported to the United States in 2015 and acquired by the consignor shortly thereafter. This fascinating homologation special from Mercedes-Benz is now offered for sale accompanied by its Japanese service manual, tool kit, spare wheel, jack, and three keys.

Billionaires are racing to space for a couple of minutes at a time, sports stars changing clubs for hundreds of millions a shot and classic sportscars are changing hands weekly at $20 million a pop. And everything underneath that is mushrooming in value to fill the new void of demand. All of which makes the 475-grand asking price for this Mercedes 190E Evo II seem, well, normal. Six Times the Evo II’s Original Asking Price Of course normal is just a cycle in a washing machine, but this wild winged DTM German Touring Car homologation special is just that. Special. On offer at Miami-based Speedart Motorsports, which specializes in European and mainly German supercars, this is one very special Benz. But its whopping 475,000 dollars asking price is double the expected top number for an Evolution II. And six times the car’s original asking price. Built at Merc’s Plant Sindelfingen late in May 1990, chassis number WDB2010361F738813 is the 473rd of 502 Evo IIs ever built. Sold new in Germany and driven for almost 6,000 miles, it went to a Portuguese owner in 1993. The car e-emerged at a Dutch dealer 5,000 miles later in 2015, where it was sold to a Greek tycoon. He serviced the car more than he drove it, racking up just 90 miles since! A mint example, it is now for sale with just 11,339 miles on the clock! Built to Qualify for the 1990 DTM The epitome third evolution of homologation for the hot 190E for the 1990 DTM, Evolution II is an AMG and Cosworth-tuned 235 HP 189 lb-ft normally aspirated 16-valve (thus the four-cylinder. It was built solely to satisfy the 500 minimum number of cars that were required to be sold to qualify this model to compete DTM Racing for the 1990 season. Evo II has a Getrag five-speed manual, lowered sports suspension and Brembo competition brakes. Boasting the dramatic original flared wheel arches and wild aero kit topped by that mad wing, this car’s splendid original alloys are shod in Michelin Sport Pilots. It was originally shipped with the popular comfort package including factory air conditioning, heated front seats. Add a Becker Grand Prix radio and cassette audio (remember them!) and a steel tilt and slide sunroof. Add original optional perforated leather and rear head rests for its four individual Recaro ‘racing’ bucket seats. This Evo II is 100 percent Technically Perfect This Evo II is sprayed blue-black metallic. Like all the 499 customer examples. Only two astral silver cars remained with Mercedes and AMG. The car’s original rustproofing remains visible on the underbody. And the cabin is basically as it was on the day of first delivery. The car is one hundred percent technically perfect. It comes with its original manual and service booklet, spare keys and its complete original tool kit, too. Now all that remains to be seen, is if someone in this mad world we live in sees $475K worth of value in a mint condition Mercedes 190E Evolution II. Time will tell! Welcome to my review of the 1:18 Solido Mercedes-Benz 190E Evolution II! This is part of the “review in a few” series where I show off all the main features of a model, rather than fully going into the history and background of the real car and posting a limited number of pictures for you to drool over. The story begins with the bog-standard Mercedes-Benz 190E, internally designated as the W201. It was launched in December 1982 as their entry-level luxury car. The ‘E’ stood for Einspritzung (fuel injection) and featured a 2-litre in-line 4 petrol engine pushing out 122hp. 1982 Mercedes-Benz 190E – front view.

Credit: Autoevolution In 1984, Mercedes-Benz introduced the 185hp 190E which affectionately became known as the ‘Cosworth’, because the British automotive engineering company fettled with the engine. The main aim of this particular variant was to take the fight to the BMW E30 M3 in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM). However, regulations stipulated that cars racing in this championship had to be based on a roadgoing model. Building upon the cast-iron block from Mercedes’ 8-valve engine, Cosworth made a new aluminium twin-cam 16-valve head amongst other key changes. 1984 Mercedes-Benz 190E – front view. Credit: Autocar In 1988, a engine replaced the which saw power increase from 185hp to 204hp. With the debut of the BMW M3 Sport Evolution, Mercedes-Benz knew they had to turn the wick up a notch and promptly launched the 190E Evolution at the 1989 Geneva Motor Show. On the outside, the Evolution (or Evo I as it would later come to be called) sported a large rear spoiler and wider wheel arches to give it a really butch look! There were many changes under the skin too, including new brakes and a revised suspension system with adjustable ride height. While the power output itself was very similar to the standard the Evo I had some key engine changes that allowed for a higher rev limit and better power generation. A total of 502 units were produced to satisfy the DTM homologation rules and customers could also option an AMG-engineered PowerPack that increased the power by 30hp to a 232hp total. 1989 Mercedes-Benz 190E Evolution I – front view. Credit: Mercedes Then just a year later at the Geneva International Motor Show in March 1990, the Mercedes-Benz 190E Evolution II premiered. Yet another homologation model limited to just 502 examples built, the Evo II featured the AMG PowerPack as standard. This meant it kicked out 232hp @ 7,200rpm and 181 lb-ft of torque @ 5,000rpm. 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E Evolution II – front view. Credit: Mercedes Exterior-wise, it had a massive rear adjustable wing, roof-mounted rear spoiler and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Of those 502 examples produced, 500 of them were made in Blauschwarz (blue/black metallic) and the final two off the line were painted in Astral Silver, making these two super rare! 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E Evolution II – side view.

Credit: Bring a Trailer Solido is one of those model brands that has been around for a heck of a long time – chances are even your grandparents have of it! Their website has a great section dedicated to the history of the brand here, but if you want the brief lesson here we go… Created in 1934 by Frenchman, Ferdinand de Vazeilles, the company quickly gained a reputation throughout the world of making quality model cars! They were a huge rival to Dinky Toys in the mid-1950s and was bought by Majorette in 1980. In 2003 they were then bought by Smoby, which in turn was bought by the Simba-Dickie Group in 2006 Solido faced being wiped off the map after Smoby closed the factory, but luckily for collectors all around the world, Simba-Dickie gave the brand over to Z Models (of OttOmobile and GT Spirit fame) in 2015 to manage. And boy have they managed it well! I strongly recommend you follow their Facebook page because they are always showing off new releases. After that little stroll down memory lane, here is the 1:18 scale model of the Mercedes-Benz 190E Evolution II in Blauschwarz. Due to its budget price, only the two front doors open on this model but the front wheels do steer. I just want to extend a huge thank you to Solido for sending me this model to review! So what is my quick opinion of this model? I think Solido have been bashing out quality releases for a short while now and their 2021 footprint looks set to be a corker, with brands like McLaren, Jaguar and Liberty Walk in the works. These models retail for between €40-€50 and for that price they are a really great way for parents/grandparents to get their kids involved in model car collecting. After all, they’re the next generation who we will be leaving our models to and they need to learn to appreciate the art of the scale model form! Best of all, even us more seasoned collectors should be snapping these up because they look amazing on display, regardless of price!

Other reviews of Mercedes-Benz models: Mercedes 190E Evolution II zadebiutował podczas Salonu Samochodowego w Genewie w 1990 roku, rok po 190 E Evolution I, zaprojektowanym również jako model homologacyjny do serii DTM. Czterocylindrowy silnik M102 rozwijał moc 235 KM i został opracowany pod okiem Jörga Abthoffa. Silnik ten mógł pracować z prędkością 7700 obr./min, dzięki zmniejszeniu masy korbowodów i zastosowaniu czterech przeciwwag zamiast ośmiu na wale korbowym. Radykalna stylistyka uczyniła Evo II jednym z najbardziej kultowych Mercedesów swoich czasów. Tylny spojler został opracowany przez specjalistę od aerodynamiki Rüdigera Faula wraz z profesorem Richardem Läpple z Politechniki w Stuttgarcie. Aby zoptymalizować docisk tylnej osi, spojler ma chowaną klapę na górnej poprzeczce. Dolną cześć tylnego spojlera można odchylać, a przedni spojler można regulować w dwóch położeniach. 30 lat temu egzemplarz wystawiony na aukcji został sprzedany za 115259,70 DM, czyli w cenie trzech normalnych 190E. Sprzedany w Genewie na drogi wyruszył w grudniu 1990 roku, a jego numer to 309 z 500 wyprodukowanych. Jego właściciel, pasjonat sportów motorowych i świetny kierowca, używał go do przemieszczanie się podczas długich podróży zawodowych. W ciągu pierwszych 10 lat użytkowania samochód na liczniku zgromadził sporo kilometrów, gnając między Genewą a Paryżem. Kiedy zgromadził nieco ponad 250000 km, właściciel zaoferował go dealerowi w Genewie, u którego samochód został zamówiony jako nowy. Jednak cena oferowana przez salon zakrawała na szyderstwo, więc właściciel postanowił zachować go jako przedmiot kolekcjonerski. Oczywiście jeździł nim od czasu do czasu, dla przyjemności, ale już nie do pracy… Samochód zawsze obsługiwany przez ten sam serwis, bez ograniczeń budżetowych, w idealnym stanie, otrzymał nową powłokę lakierniczą. Wymieniono w nim opony i dokonano serwisu hamulców oraz zawieszenia. Skrupulatna kontrola, której wymaga słynna ze swojej surowości szwajcarska inspekcja techniczna, została właśnie podbita, co czyni Evo II gotowym do drogi. Auto licytowane 12 grudnia sprzedało się za ponad 183 tys. euro (ok. 846 tys. złotych). AUTOMOBILES DE COLLECTION – LA VENTE D’AUTOMNE dimanche 12 décembre 2021 15:00 Aguttes Neuilly 1990 MERCEDES EVO II 190 Lot n° 80 165000 – 185000 EUR Result : 183 156EUR * Number 309 / 500 models Amazing condition and history Only one owner for 30 years Swiss registration title Chassis n° WDB 2010361F738489 The EVO II made its debut at the 1990 Geneva Motor Show. A year earlier, Mercedes had presented the 190 E Evolution EVO I, also designed as a homologation model for touring cars used in the DTM. At least 500 units had to be built to meet championship regulations. The fourcylinder M 102 engine put out 235 hp and was developed under the direction of Jörg Abthoff. This engine could run at 7,700 rpm, thanks to the reduction in weight of the connecting rods and the use of four counterweights instead of eight on the crankshaft. Its radical styling made the 1990 EVO II one of the most iconic Mercedes-Benzes of its time. The spoiler was developed by aerodynamicist Rüdiger Faul together with Professor Richard Läpple from the Technical University of Stuttgart. To optimize rear axle support, the spoiler has a retractable flap on the upper crossbar. The lower band of the rear spoiler can be tilted and the front spoiler can be adjusted in two steps in the longitudinal direction. Among the improvements given to the EVO II for DTM use are the superb 17-inch wheels and, above all, the aerodynamic work that provides additional downforce compared to the EVO I: the maximum force of the EVO II’s rear axle through the spoiler reaches kg. On the front axle it can reach kg. Race inspired! 30 years ago this model was sold for 115 259,70 DM, which is the price of three normal 190 E ! The 190 EVO II presented here has a history that probably makes it unique. Sold new by the Chevalley garage in Geneva and put on the road in December 1990, it is number 309 out of 500 built. Its owner, a motor sport enthusiast and a great driver for his work, used it for all his long trips and professional duties as an alternative to the plane or the train. Many kilometers were accumulated during the first 10 years of use: round trips from Geneva to Paris mainly for professional reasons. This fabulous car was simply the main car of the owner, an industrialist in the watchmaking industry. When it had accumulated a little more than 250,000 km, Mr. C offered it to the Geneva dealership from which the car had been ordered new. In front of the derisory price that the garage proposed to him and his love for the rare Mercedes, Mr. C decided to keep it as a collector’s item and will drive it occasionally, for pleasure and not for work… another Mercedes AMG following in its big sister’s footsteps. The car will always be maintained by the same Mercedes garage, without budget limitations in order for it to stay in perfect condition. Today it has received a new paint job from the Plan-les-Ouates body shop, tires and brakes are new and the suspension has been revised. Mr C certifies that the car has never been involved in an accident and no part, except for its maintenance at Mercedes, has been changed or modified. When we test drove the EVO 2, the owner confided to us with an undisguised smile that nobody has ever sat in the back of his Mercedes, and the ashtrays have never been used! The meticulous main – tenance that the Swiss technical inspection imposes, renowned for its severity, has just been successfully validated. Our EVO 2 is ready to hit the road. Its owner is giving away an asset that is very dear to him. It is up to the next driver to take care of it as he has done for the last 31 years. Made to drive, that could be the definition of a car. For some time now, a new market has been developing around exceptional cars with high mileage but accompanied by a clear history, retracing every trip, every turn, every adventure. More attractive financially, they also have much more to tell, and still many years ahead of them to seduce, surprise, travel, again and again… Najciekawsze samochody klasyczne, youngtimery i przyszłe klasyki na sprzedaż.
