A rare breed of vehicle, sold to be driven on the road, but with its design and function dictated by a motorsport rulebook, and a manufacturer building it to exploit as many loopholes as possible. This year marks the 30th anniversary of one of the coolest homologation special road cars in history – the Mercedes-Benz 190E 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 (below), Benz’s fastest 190E dominated German touring car racing of the era, and became an instant icon. Just 502 examples were ever built, all painted in the same blue-black metallic hue. They are most easily identified by that sizeable rear wing. Mercedes 190 Cosworth vs E30 BMW M3: a twin test Mercedes-Benz 190E Evolution II: that spoiler As is usually the case with homologation specials, the aero wasn’t just a visual addition. Mercedes-Benz designed the Evo II’s bodywork with the aid of a wind tunnel, resulting in more than 50kg of downforce on the rear axle, and upwards of 20kg on the front. Famously, upon seeing the 190E Evo II, BMW’s head of research and development at the time, Wolfgang Reitzle, said: ‘The laws of aerodynamics must be different between Munich and Stuttgart; if that rear wing works, we’ll have to redesign our wind tunnel.’ Turns out BMW did redesign its wind tunnel, as the DTM racer the 190E Evo II was transformed into was an absolute monster, filling Mercedes’ trophy cabinets with ease. Engine specs Powered by the M102 four-cylinder, the Evo II produced 232bhp and 181lb ft (sizeable for the period). In order to produce the extra power compared to the engine in the standard 190E the engine had a shorter stroke and larger bore. The rev limit was raised to 7700rpm by reducing the connecting rod weight, cutting crankshaft counterweights from four to eight, and changing the camshaft from a duplex to simplex roller chain. Two metal catalytic converters were added. Racing versions of the engine took things even further, upping outputs to 367bhp. This would be the last competitive motorsport engine Mercedes-Benz would build in-house, with that responsibility passing to AMG, where it has remained since. Prices Getting your hands on an Evo II wasn’t cheap at the time, with the homologation special priced at 115,259 deutschmarks in Germany – and today they sell at auction for around £150-200k. The limited road car supply was just a gateway for the DTM touring cars that would be built from the same platform. Mercedes-Benz’s hard work refining the Evo II netted impressive results. By 1992, the DTM car had been refined to such a point that it won 16 of that season’s 24 races. What is your favourite homologation special? Let us know in the comments below! This article originally appeareed on 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.

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.
