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. An update of the 16-valve version with increased capacity (2.5 L) and stiffening ribs, still with a cylinder head designed by Cosworth. Cubic capacity: 2,498 cc (2.5 L). Power output: 150 kW (204 PS; 201 bhp) Applications: 1988–1993 W201 190E 2.5-16; M102.991. An update of the 2.5 16-valve version, with shorter stroke and larger bore. The Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 EVO II is a rare and iconic German sports sedan, with only 502 units produced. The EVO II had a powerful 2.5-liter inline-four engine, but a digital restomod version replaces it with a Chevrolet LT1 V8, increasing the power output. The EVO II is highly sought-after in the collector market, with prices reaching an The 190E Evo II could launch from 0 to 62 mph in 8.1 seconds—about par with large German V8 sedans of the day—and reach a top speed of 155 mph. The example that Artcurial will offer later In 1988, the 2.3-liter engine was replaced by a 2.5-liter (152 ci) variant with a little more oomph. Based on this, in March 1989, one of the most sought-after variants of the 190E was launched at Vk9Jq. When it comes to enthusiast vehicles, few are as sought after or or as celebrated as genuine homologation specials. These race-bred machines help to skew the line between the road and the racetrack, while limited production numbers almost always help to drive value. The 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E Evolution II is one of the most iconic of all the homologation racers, and now you have a chance to purchase a pristine example from Speedart Motorsports. The 190E Evolution II was the final model in the Stuttgart automaker’s run of DTM homologation cars from the late Eighties and early Nineties. The line began in 1983 with the arrival of the 190E which featured a Cosworth inline-four initially designed for rallying. Of course, Audi’s Quattro properly mucked those plans up, and Mercedes instead eyed the German Touring Car Championship for the hot 190E. Mercedes' participation in the series would inspire BMW to create the M3, and the sports sedan showdown we know and love today was born. By the time 1990 rolled around, the battle for DTM glory had escalated. By then, the 190E had received a larger Cosworth inline-four deemed the M102 E25/2, which featured a larger bore and a shorter stroke than the lump it replaced. The Evolution II also came standard with the previously optional AMG PowerPack, which saw output reach 232 hp and 181 lb-ft of torque. This was the last racing engine developed under Mercedes’ own moniker before AMG would take up the mantle. The engine was mated to a five-speed dogleg manual gearbox. Speedart Motorsports Other performance enhancements included Mercedes’ hydraulic rear suspension, complete with variable ride height functionality. The aerodynamics package was tweaked again for the Evolution II model as well, which tangibly reduced drag and increased downforce on the track. Only 502 examples of the Evolution II were produced between 1990 and 1991. All but two of the cars wear Blauschwarz Metallic paint, which looks as sinister as ever on this pristine example. Of course the condition of the car is to be expected with only 11,339 miles on the odometer. As such, the $475,000 might not come as a shock. While that is a ton of cash, the Mercedes-Benz 190E Evolution II is quite simply one of the coolest sedans ever built.

And before the mid-1990s, Mercedes' smallest sedan was still thought of as a buttoned-up junior executive car that had no sporting pretensions. The 190E Evolution II was one of the cars that changed all that, helping propel Stuttgart into contention when it came to small and sporty sedans, upstaging rivals with plenty of flair. In a few days one of these rare machines will roll across the auction block when Artcurial Auctions offers a 1990 example at its Retromobile sale. It's worth recalling that the basis for the Evo II debuted quite some time before its slightly mad version first arrived. The 190E sedan materialized in 1982 when the W123 range was split into the W201 and W124—the forerunners of the C-Class and the E-Class. The smaller of the two wore 190E badging, serving up engines as small as a four-cylinder in more domesticated flavors. But it was the inline-four model that served as the starting point of a sports sedan version in 1983, offering 185 hp. Soon thereafter Mercedes developed the version, debuting in 1985 with 191 hp on tap. Things were getting serious. Wing height was dictated by rear visibility requirements, and also dramatic Auctions Fast-forward to 1990, and the W201 range saw the debut of the Evolution II, complete with a giant wing whose height was dictated by rearward visibility requirements. Under the hood was a 16-valve four-pot, good for 232 hp. The model featured stiffer springs, a wider track, larger brakes, and 17-inch wheels in addition to flared fenders. It was hard to miss in traffic even if the interior remained relatively plush, complete with wood veneers and leather seats instead of something more spartan. Performance was quick for the time, even though later AMG and Brabus models were able to quickly eclipse its numbers. The 190E Evo II could launch from 0 to 62 mph in seconds—about par with large German V8 sedans of the day—and reach a top speed of 155 example that Artcurial will offer later this month is number 389 out of 502 built for homologation, and is said to have been purchased from Germany by a lady living in Belgium. The car is reported to have been maintained by a Mercedes dealer near Aachen, receiving some work in its early years, according to documents. The current consignor bought the car in 1997, using it on rare occasions, according to the auction house, making it a two-owner car today. The one major departure from a stock appearance is the Indianapolis steering wheel fitted by the second owner, trimmed in appropriately early-nineties colors. The Mercedes currently shows 14,424 kilometers, which translates to just 8962 miles. The steering wheel in this example has been swapped out for an item that is unmistakably from the Auctions "The painted body trims have apparently never been removed and there are no signs of damage to the bumpers," the auction house notes. "Inside, the black leather upholstery still smells new, without any pronounced signs of wear, and the dashboard is in good condition. The car's equipment includes a sunroof and heated seats."Artcurial estimates this Evo II to bring between 100,000 and 150,000 euros on auction day, which translates to a range between $110,725 and $166, values for Evo II examples have been well tracked since these were new, and as you've probably guessed by now examples with relatively low kilometers are not that rare. This two-owner car is not pitched as being in concours condition, as detailed photos clearly indicate, and may have even seen some things despite its relatively modest cosmetic faults are evident in the full photo collection, including under the hood and under the trunk lid. But it all appears to be there, even if the original steering wheel could be MIA. The car certainly seems to have been well exercised despite its relatively modest Auctions It's fair to say this example could be brought up a notch with some attention, if deemed necessary, or left as is. Perhaps this unmentioned fact reflects the fairly liberal estimate range of this example, leaving some room for later cosmetic improvement.

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. $301,000 SOLD Jun 18, 2022 1 month ago $425,000 SOLD Jun 6, 2022 1 month ago SOLD Apr 12, 2022 3 months ago $305,000 SOLD Mar 20, 2022 4 months ago €190,720 SOLD Mar 19, 2022 4 months ago $290,000 HIGH BID Mar 10, 2022 4 months ago $432,432 SOLD Feb 12, 2022 5 months ago $215,000 SOLD Dec 27, 2021 7 months ago €252,000 SOLD Nov 25, 2021 8 months ago NOT SOLD Jun 20, 2021 1 year ago $379,000 SOLD May 22, 2021 1 year ago $180,081 SOLD Feb 8, 2021 1 year ago €196,680 SOLD Feb 5, 2021 1 year ago $268,800 SOLD Jan 22, 2021 1 year ago $255,000 HIGH BID Jan 5, 2021 1 year ago $203,000 HIGH BID Dec 31, 2020 1 year ago $251,000 SOLD Sep 8, 2020 1 year ago $258,500 SOLD Aug 7, 2020 1 year ago £180,000 SOLD Aug 1, 2020 1 year ago $231,000 SOLD May 29, 2020 2 years ago $199,000 SOLD Feb 6, 2020 2 years ago $434,000 SOLD Jan 17, 2020 2 years ago €131,120 SOLD Nov 4, 2018 3 years ago NOT SOLD Sep 5, 2018 3 years ago £159,750 SOLD Jul 22, 2018 4 years ago Mercedes-Benz | Mercedes-AMG Click to rate this post[Total: 1 Average: 5]It was 1990 when the Mercedes-Benz 190E Evo II made its debut. The model came with a 16-valve four-cylinder engine that developed 232 horsepower. That power plant made the car accelerate from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in seconds and reach a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). Wood inserts and black leather seats made up a pretty plush atmosphere inside the sports car. “The black leather upholstery still smells new, without any pronounced signs of wear”, the ad reads for a car with chassis number WDB 2010361F738165. The Benz has a sunroof and there are heated seats onboard. The odometer reads only 14,424 kilometers, translating into little over 8,960 miles. But despite the low mileage, it’s far from being in Concours condition. Once the hood pops up, you can see the insulation was torn. It still sports the original 17-inch wheels fitting the flared fenders. At the rear, there is a massive wing that obviously still makes it stand out almost three decades after it drove through the factory gate. Mercedes-Benz 190E Evo II – one of 502 This example is number 389 of the 502 ever built for the homologation of the race car. The first physical owner was a lady from Belgium, who made the purchase in Germany. She serviced the car in a Mercedes dealer near Aachen. Documents reveal that it required some work in its early years. It had previously been registered under the ownership of a company, as shown by the certificate of conformity, dated April 1993. The woman eventually sold it in 1997 and the new owner, Baudouin Lempereur, kept it until the present day. Even though he rarely used it, he decided to put in an Indianapolis steering wheel. It still sports the colors that were fashionable back in the early 1990s. Artcurial estimated this Mercedes-Benz 190E Evo II between 100,000 and 150,000 euros, which would be between 109,140 and 163,710 American dollars. The car is going under the hammer at the Retromobile Artcurial on March 18.
