190e 2.5 16 evo ii

In 1986, for example, the 190 E 2.5-16 with 2.5 liters of displacement and 195 hp made its debut at the Paris Motor Show. This resulted in the 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution for 1989, of which only 502 copies were produced with road approval in the color blue-black metallic for homologation reasons. It made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in 1989. Revs also went up from 7,500 RPM to 10,000RPM contributing to the top-end power, and the intake system uses a slide throttle setup in place of a butterfly valve as well as being bench adjusted between rounds to suit track layouts. The Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evo 2 DTM won at almost all DTM rounds in the 1992 season with the factory Mercedes This year marks the 30th anniversary of one of the coolest homologation special road cars in history – the Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II. Despite having one of the longest names in motoring history, it’s also a supremely impressive piece of kit. Revealed at the Geneva motor show in 1990, Benz’s fastest 190E dominated German My biggest regret is missing out on the silver 2.3 because I thought one 190E 2.0 base model was good enough for me. Boy how wrong I was. Fast forward to 4 years later when Autoart re-released the evo II in maroon, silver and black I bought the silver one as soon as I could for fear of missing out again. 1991 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16V Evo II finished a lap of Mendig AFB Circuit in 2 minutes and 10.8 seconds. 32241 lap times and 38290 quarter mile, 0-60 times for 15534 cars and 594 bikes. nonton call it love sub indo bioskopkeren. In the late 1980s and early '90s, Germany's DTM touring-car racing series featured epic battles between the four-cylinder E30 BMW M3 and the four-cylinder Mercedes-Benz 190E, and both were constantly escalating their entries' power and aerodynamics. This arms race culminated with the BMW M3 Sport Evo and this car, the 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E Evolution II. No, the Benz didn't automatically win the dogfight because its name was might be thinking, if there was an Evolution II, was there an Evolution I? Yes! What sets the 1990 Evo II apart from the first model offered one year prior, in 1989, is a wilder body kit and the inclusion of a previously optional AMG power pack for its 16-valve, engine. It represented the zenith of the 190E's factory performance potential—at least besides a six-cylinder AMG racing model—and just 502 were built in 1990 to satisfy DTM homologation rules. The Evo II's power-pack-equipped, Cosworth-tuned four-cylinder produced 232 horsepower (keep in mind, this was a naturally aspirated four in 1990!), and redline is marked on the tachometer at a stratospheric 7600 rpm. The Evo II engine featured a shorter stroke and larger bore than the Evo I's and formed the basis for the DTM cars' powerplants, which made up to 367 horsepower. Of note: This was the last DTM engine developed under the Benz banner; afterward, AMG handled the racing Evo II's ludicrous body kit is highly functional, and helped shove the 190E's drag figure down to an exceptionally low Cd while increasing downforce relative to the Evolution. Designed by a professor from the University of Stuttgart, the aero pack includes an adjustable rear wing and a rear window spoiler. All of this kit is amusingly juxtaposed by a Mercedes three-pointed star hood ornament poking up from the with previous hotted-up 190Es, the Evo II came with a hydraulic self-leveling rear suspension that, unlike many period Benzes with the feature, included a switch for selecting different heights. (Other Mercedes with the self-leveling suspension, or SLS, merely reacted to loads placed on the rear axle to combat rear-end sag via a simple valve.) This feature came in handy given how the Evo II sat even lower than its rarity, uncommon performance, and wild looks, you'd expect 190E Evolution IIs to be expensive. Guess what? You're right! A recent auction on Bring a Trailer saw serious bidding, with the car's final sale price reaching $199,000. As with all Evo IIs save for the final two built, that example is painted a sinister dark blue. And since it was located in the Netherlands and will, according to the top bidder, stay in the EU, the new owner avoids serious shipping charges on top of the final tally. Whomever picked up this 190E got a delightfully hard-core sports sedan from one of the most heated periods in the BMW-Mercedes racing rivalry.

Foundation for the tradition of high-performance vehicles. 25 years ago, the 190 E Evolution II thrilled professionals and the general public alike when it was unveiled at the Geneva International Motor Show. The touring car developed for Group A racing on the basis of this sports saloon went on to acquire legendary status. Mercedes-Benz took the first three places in the DTM championship in the 1992 season with this vehicle, which was referred to succinctly as the “Evo II”. Today, the Evo II presents a fascinating spectacle as a works racing car from Mercedes-Benz Classic competing in historic motor sport events. 25 years ago, the sports saloon laid the foundations for the special tradition of high-performance vehicles such as are offered by Mercedes-AMG today – culminating in the C-Class in the current C 63 S of model series 205 rated at 375 kW (510 hp). Constant development and performance improvement. The Evo II did justice to its appearance by virtue of a further development of the vehicle. The engine’s output had been raised once again in comparison to the first Evolution model from the previous year, the Evo II now generating 173 kW (235 hp) of power as opposed to the previous 143 kW (195 hp). The top speed was 250 km/h, and the Evo II accelerated from a standing start to 100 km/h in seconds. The body had also undergone further refinement on an aesthetic and technical level. In all, 502 units of the Evo II were produced - available exclusively in blue black metallic. A departure from the doctrine of moderation and restraint. Mercedes-Benz presented the compact class W 201 in 1982 as a completely new, third main line in its passenger car range. The model series set new standards in efficiency, handling, safety, and design, while also lending the Stuttgart-based brand a younger and fresher image. The general public came to refer to the W 201 as the “190” or the “Baby-Benz”. Racing successes were to add magnificent sporty dynamism to the vehicle’s merits This vehicle marked a departure from the doctrine of moderation and restraint for the compact saloon. First successes in motor sports. The 190 E put in a brilliant performance in the opening race of the new Nürburgring in 1984. In 1988 Mercedes-Benz entered the German Touring Car Masters (DTM) with the racing tourer developed from the series production version, and Roland Asch finished the season as Vice-Champion. Meanwhile, the motor sport specialists in Stuttgart were already working on their next coup, developing the 190 E Evolution (1989) and 190 E Evolution II (1990) models on the basis of the road-going version of the sixteen-valve model. Then AMG assumed responsibility for converting the vehicles destined for racing use. Pure fascination – then and today. The Evo II had its racing debut on the North Loop of the Nürburgring in the DTM on 16 June 1990. In 1990 Kurt Thiim took 3rd place in the DTM, and in 1992 Ludwig won the DTM Championship ahead of Kurt Thiim and Bernd Schneider – all three driving a 190 E Evolution II. In the 1993 season, Roland Asch finished as runner-up in the successor to the Evo II. In March 2015, the Mercedes-Benz 190 E Evolution II celebrated its 25th birthday. To this day the young classic retains the fascinating allure that it first revealed when it was unveiled as a new compact sports saloon at the Geneva International Motor Show in 1990. This enduring appeal is particularly true of the 190 E Evolution II configured by Mercedes-Benz Classic as a works racing car, which adds a special shine to historic motorsport in its appearances at Youngtimer Trophy meetings. 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. Few cars capture the zeitgeist of the ’90s like the BMW M3 E30 or Mercedes-Benz‘s DTM homologation-special 190E Evolution II. The former is even rarer than its competitive German counterpart, loved by the automotive industry for its ability to throw every rule out of the window when it comes to designing and making a sedan. For this, ‘Benz produced 502 examples of a road-going DTM-inspired 190E that packs a Cosworth inline-four mated to a dogleg five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Now, number 473 is up for auction with Bring a Trailer. It was previously featured on BaT in 2015, when it cost a handsome $175,707 USD. Times are changing however, and the Evo II is now worth much, much more than that price. Since, we’ve seen clean examples sell for over $200,000 USD, and another for just under the $200k mark. This example is particularly special, showing just 11,000 miles on the clock and pristine bodywork and internals. Finished in “Blue-Black Metallic” over black leather, this car comes with the sought-after AMG PowerPack engine upgrades, self-leveling suspension, 17” wheels, an electric sunroof, heated Recaro front seats, air conditioning, and a Becker Grand Prix cassette stereo. As per the ’90s sedan design language, you’ll find aerodynamic upgrades including aggressive fender flares, a rear window spoiler, and an adjustable rear wing. As of writing, the 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E Evolution II is sitting at $367,190 USD with just five hours of bidding left. Take a look at the car above, and find more on Bring a Trailer’s listing.
