Vehicle history and comps for 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II VIN: WDB2010361F735772 - including sale prices, photos, and more. The Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 also became the basis for the sports cars entered in Group A of the German Touring Car Championship (DTM). The type-approved base model was the Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution with the M 102 E 25/2 engine, further modified for racing. The next development stage came one year later with the 190E 2.5-16 Evolution The 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution was powered by the newly designed, high-torque, short-stroke engine, delivering 195 hp, exactly the same power as the engine of the 190 E 2.5-16. However, the engine of the Evolution variant left plenty of scope for power-boosting modifications. The suspension was also modified for the car’s use in motor sport Despite producing almost identical power and torque, the M3 managed to beat the Evo II in the 0-100km/h sprint by 0.6 seconds, thanks to its 100kg weight advantage. In terms of top speed though, the there was nothing in it. Flat out, the M3 could hit 248km/h compared to the Mercedes’ electronically limited to 250km/h. The Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 Evo II cost DM 115,279.70 when was launched. Today, this model sells at auction for over 500,000 euros ($547,465), but HWA wants to build an even more expensive model. HWA plans to build 100 units, present the first model in the second quarter of 2024, and plans deliveries to start towards the end of 2025. The 190E 2.3-16 is the car that set the template for the modern supersports sedan and also helped create the legend of Ayrton Senna. IT’S TINY. In the metal, the Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16 is like a 5/8 scale representation of its reputation. It takes up less space on our turntable than a modern compact hatch like a Honda Civic, and there’s The original 190 Evo II used a 2.5-liter engine with a peak output of 232 horsepower at 7,200 rpm and 181 pound-feet of torque at 5,000 rpm, making it the most powerful member of the 190E family FOLLOW MARKET. 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. But the car we have here is no base-model 190E. No, this is much, much cooler. It is the 190E 2.5-16 Evolution. Before getting into the nooks and crannies of this example, we should glance over its history, as it has a pretty cool one. The 190E was born in 1982, and it was your regular front-engine, rear-wheel drive sedan of the ‘80s. Evolution II Replica with Two Sets of Wheels, Recent Service, Original Cosworth 2.5-16 Engine.

G8dH9Tn. Zrodzony z intensywnej rywalizacji z BMW M3, Mercedes-Benz 190E był wynikiem współpracy ze słynną firmą inżynieryjną Cosworth. To właśnie Brytyjczycy wzięli standardowy, 8-zaworowy silnik o pojemności 2,3 litra i modernizując go, udoskonalili. W dalszej kolejności silnik powiększono do 2,5 l, i tak powstała wersja 190E Później przyszła kolej na homologacyjne wersje Evolution I i Evolution II, które są esencją tego modelu. W przypadku Evolution II uzyskano moc 232 KM już w cywilnej wersji. Podwozie W201 zostało wzmocnione przez większe stabilizatory, twardsze tuleje, mechanizm różnicowy o ograniczonym poślizgu, szybciej reagujące amortyzatory i krótsze przełożenie układu kierowniczego. Getrag dostarczył pięciobiegową skrzynię w układzie dogleg, aby zapewnić szybki i łatwy wybór biegów. Oferowany na aukcji egzemplarz Evo II to numer 106 z 502 wyprodukowanych. Został dostarczony jako nowy do salonu Mercedes-Benz we Frankfurcie w kwietniu 1990 roku. Nadwozie pokryte standardowym dla modelu odcieniem Blauschwarz Metallic z antracytową skórą prezentuje się bardzo dobrze. Dokumenty samochodu potwierdzają wyposażenie w podgrzewane fotele, czujnik temperatury zewnętrznej, elektrycznie sterowany szyberdach, tylne głośniki, poduszkę powietrzną i radio. Evo II posiada także dodatkową parę opcjonalnych spojlerów: stałe przednie skrzydło i tylny spojler montowany poniżej większego tylnego skrzydła. Egzemplarz z przebiegiem zaledwie 27500 kilometrów sprzedany został za 379 tysięcy dolarów podczas licytacji, która odbyła się 22 maja na wyspie Amelia na Florydzie. 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190 E Evolution II Ryan Merrill ©2021 Courtesy of RM Sotheby’s Link: AMELIA ISLAND | LOT 202 1990 MERCEDES-BENZ 190 E EVOLUTION II $350,000 – $400,000 USD $379,000 USD | Sold United States | Amelia Island, Florida 22 May 2021 Chassis No. WDB2010361F735138 Serial No. 106/500 Documents US Title VIEW HISTORY FILE A DTM homologation special from Mercedes-Benz No. 106 of 502 examples produced Delivered new to Germany Acquired by the consignor in 2001 then showing 1,500 km (~930 mi) Under 27,500 km (~17,100 mi) presently indicated 238 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 bumped engine displacement to liters in 1988. The initial “Evo” model overhauled the platform into a thoroughbred racer by installing a tuned version of the motor, larger brakes, and improved tires. 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 238 horsepower. 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 106th of 502 built; it was delivered new to Mercedes-Benz Frankfurt in April 1990. Clad in the standard shade of Blauschwarz Metallic over Anthracite leather, this example’s build record indicates the fitment of heated seats, an external temperature sensor, power sunroof, rear speakers, airbag-equipped steering wheel, and a Mercedes radio. Acquired by the consignor in 2001 then showing 1,500 kilometers (~930 miles) and exported to Chile, this well-preserved Evo II presently shows under 27,500 kilometers (~17,100 miles) at time of cataloging. This particular example wears an additional pair of optional spoilers: a fixed front wing and rear decklid spoiler below the larger rear wing. This Evo II has been carefully preserved in climate-controlled storage and fastidiously maintained by authorized Mercedes-Benz dealers. The consignor states that car was taken for regular drives during their ownership to ensure proper mechanical function. This Evo II was professionally detailed and ceramic coated while within the consignor’s care, which was most recently provided in March 2020. With growing interest in historic motorsport has come renewed interest from collectors in the cars that were homologated in order to allow some of the greatest cars of all time to go racing in the first place. This Evolution II, now offered from twenty years of fastidious ownership by one owner, ranks among the most visually striking of all the homologation specials and warrants pride of place in any garage. Mercedes-Benz | Mercedes-AMG Click to rate this post[Total: 1 Average: 5]Mercedes-Benz saw BMW’s success with the E30 M30 and wanted to replicate it. They made the “Baby-Benz” in 1982. Just eight years later they took that recipe, enhanced it tenfold, and created a legend: the mighty 190 E Evo II. Only 502 were ever made. One just got sold this weekend for a hefty sum. It’s time to rewind. As my father tells me, life in the ‘80s was interpersonal, adventurous, whimsical and too fun to ever be forgotten. As a teenager he says that playing in the rain was something that everyone did and even though there wasn’t much to go around, people were content. There was time for everything. People lived with more passion and friendships were made to last. Being fully in touch with your surroundings was a thing that people took to the heart. It felt like anything was acceptable and possible in the ‘80s, even though we have it much, much easier today. In the span of a decade, we saw a lot of major events happening around the world. Germany and Eastern Europe were freeing themselves from the authoritarian Soviet regimes, hope was embracing everyone and there was a general feeling of real change at international level. The new decade was to come with challenges, but in that point in time, between 1989 and 1990, everything felt different. Courage, sacrifice, emotions, and freedom were defining a new era. Mercedes-Benz felt it In the midst of all that effervescent lifestyle, the Stuttgart-based carmaker decided its time to introduce the world to a car that was going to become the reason for full AMG integration. It started with the W 201 as a compact class representative, a new third main line for passenger cars made by Mercedes-Benz. Add Cosworth engines into this mix and the same gearbox BMW used for its E30 M3 plus some aero work and you got yourself a magnificent sports vehicle, a four-door sedan that’s gone wild. The first enhanced version of the 190 started with a brilliant performance at the race of the new Nürburgring in 1984. Just four years later, in 1988, Mercedes-Benz got the DTM vibes and joined the competition. They almost got a win. Not being champions pushed the company further and it eventually created the masterpiece known today as Mercedes-Benz 190 E Evolution II. The Germans finally got their DTM win in 1992 when the podium was only occupied by 190 E Evo II race drivers. Naturally, the street legal version was fated for infamy. The 473rd 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190 E Evo II Over 32 years have passed since then. Now we have ourselves an automotive legend. They build only 502 units and the 473rd sold this weekend on Bring a Trailer (BaT). This particular unit with the chassis number WDB2010361F738813 has the Cosworth DOHC inline-four engine, only 11,000 miles (18,000 km) on the odometer, a limited-slip differential, 17-inch wheels, an electric sunroof, self-leveling suspension, the AMG PowePack engine upgrade, air conditioning and a Becker Grand Prix cassette stereo. The car was first sold in Germany as BaT and relevant documentation confirm but has spent a lot of its life in Portugal, Greece, and the Netherlands. It arrived in the in 2020 and it will remain here to live the rest of its existence in Florida. It still has its original factory books, tools and import documentation. The owner is a Mercedes-Benz fan as he also owns a 14k-miles 2008 Mercedes-Benz S 65 AMG and in the past tried twice to get his hands on a 190 SL. Taking all of this into consideration and the fact that the 4-cylinder has motorsport connections, we think the $432,432 price tag is justified. But we’ll let you decide about this. With the launch of the 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190 E Evo II the German automaker understood it’s time to evolve. Understanding this segment has real potential and, after making just 502 cars, AMG engineers officially took over the high-performance vehicle line starting with the Mercedes-Benz E 50 AMG in 1993. After only six years, in 1999, AMG was bought by Daimler (at the time named DaimlerChrysler AG). This whole story tells us one important thing: to build something truly extraordinary you just have to start somewhere, just make that defining first step. The 1990 evolved Baby-Benz stands as testament to this as it has already passed the test of time. Nisko schodzący przedni zderzak, szerokie nadkola i ogromny spoiler na tylnej klapie. Na pytanie kim jesteś? Mercedes Evo II odpowiedziałby bez wahania: samochodem wyścigowym. My to potwierdzamy! Ten Mercedes nie tylko wygląda niebezpiecznie, on faktycznie taki jest, tylne skrzydło dodatkowo podkreśla jego naturę. 235 KM, twarde zawieszenie i niewielki prześwit - to auto zostało stworzone z myślą o poruszaniu się po torze. Mercedes musiał wyprodukować 500 takich aut, by uzyskać homologację umożliwiająca udział w wyścigach. Ten prezentowany posiada numer 476, to jedna z ostatnich sztuk tego modelu. Jego cena na niemieckim rynku w latach 90. wynosiła 109 440 marek, za sportowe auto od konkurencji w większości przypadków trzeba było zapłacić połowę tej kwoty! Evo II było zupełnie innym samochodem niż te oferowane przez konkurentów. Dziś osoby, które go kupiły w okresie jego produkcji, nie żałują. Ceny idealnych egzemplarzy dochodzą do 200 000 zł. Skórzane fotele Recaro dobrze podtrzymują ciało kierowcy w zakrętach. Kierownica i gałka skrzyni biegów są rewelacyjne, niczym szyte na miarę rękawiczki. Odpalmy, czterocylidrowiec burczy, nadwozie auta delikatnie drga w rytmie pracy silnika. Wrzucamy pierwszy bieg, pociągając lewarek do siebie i do tyłu. Takie rozwiązanie jest typowe dla samochodów wyścigowych, zapewnia ono szybsze zmiany biegów podczas ostrej jazdy po torze drugi, trzeci, czwarty i piąty – drogi prowadzenia drążka są krótkie. To wspaniałe uczucie! Pozostała cześć kokpitu jest niczym przeniesiona ze zwykłej 190tki. We wnętrzu dominują materiały najwyższej jakości. O wyjątkowości świadczą dodatkowe wskaźniki umieszczone w dolnej konsoli centralnej. To całkiem niewiele jak na bardzo drogi egzemplarz. Tu liczą się szczegóły – na gałce dźwigni zmiany biegów znajdziemy czerwony napis 476 łamane na 500. 190 Evo zdecydowanie bardziej wyróżnia się nadwoziem niż wnętrzem. Prostota i elegancja panująca w środku auta ułatwia skupienie się kierowcy na tym co najważniejsze – na prowadzeniu. Mercedes został perfekcyjne zestrojony, z zegarmistrzowską precyzją. Silnik chętnie wkręca się do 7 000 obr./min., biegi wchodzą bezproblemowo, a zawieszenie pewnie utrzymuje samochód w szybko pokonywanych zakrętach. Gwiazda cały czas zachowuje spokój, ostre hamowanie i szybkie zmiany kierunku jazdy nie robią na nim wrażenia. Jego środowisko naturalne to tor, ale dojechanie do niego nie sprawia mu problemu. Trzeba tylko pamiętać, że zawieszenie nie zapewni nam komfortu podróżowania, a nisko osadzony spoiler przedniego zderzaka może zawadzić o wystającą z powierzchni drogi studzienkę. To rasowy sportowiec i tą funkcję spełnia wzorowo.
