This Evo II tribute 190E came from the factory with a 16v Cosworth body kit but has since been fitted with a Japanese-made Evolution II kit including both front and rear bumpers with built-in air dams, side skirts, fender flares, and a trunk spoiler. This example was delivered new in Blue-Black Metallic (199U) and underwent a full repaint in its factory color when the Evo II kit was installed. The side mirrors have been replaced with lightweight aftermarket units, and the original Mercedes side mirrors will also come with the car. Additionally, the rear taillights are smoked along with Euro clear front corner lights. The seller has installed 19” OZ Racing wheels with new Pirelli P-Zero tires measuring 255/35 all around.

Mounted in the center console, a digital stopwatch and auxiliary gauges for oil temperature and voltage are seen below the headunit. The six-digit mechanical odometer shows 96,818 kilometers (~60k miles), of which approximately 300 kilometers (~186 miles) have been added by the selling dealer.

The MB Market InsightsThe DTM Dream, as we often refer to it, is to own one of the legendary homologation models of which only 502 were built. With price tags now well into the six figures for the real deal, well-built tributes such as this 190E have become more than tempting. Not only does this 190E feature a full Evo II style body kit, but it also began life as a true car which has an increased stroke over the resulting in 25 additional horsepower. While the car comes equipped with genuine OZ Racing wheels and new tires, we’re also excited to see a set of factory 6-spoke Evo II wheels will come with the car. And not to worry, if the lightweight side mirrors aren’t your style, the factory side mirrors also accompany the car. Even today after many failed attempts, not many people truly understand the amount of time and money it takes to source and install a quality kit such as this. At the end of the day, these cars were meant to be driven and enjoyed without stress. That’s exactly what this W201 offers with some added flare (both literally and figuratively).Photo Gallery1991 Mercedes-Benz 190E Evo II TributePlace BidENDED ON 05/19/2021 05:03PM EST17 CommentsMay 21st, 2021 at 5:04pm ESTWould the seller be willing to sell the EVO II wheels only?

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.
