The Evolution models being the absolute top dog. Year: 1990. Model: 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II. Engine: 2.5 liter 16 valve inline four. Transmission: dog leg 5-speed manual. Mileage: 35,000 miles. Price: Bid to $61,290, reserve not met. The US market would see the 190E 2.3-16 for just a few years, but the evolution of the breed would continue on in Europe right up to the end of the production run, with a 2.5 liter engine and Evolution models. This 190E 2.5-16 Evo for sale in The Netherlands was brought to our attention by our reader Walker and is now legal to import to the US. Recently we added their Mercedes-Benz 190E Debis TT-01 Type-E On-Road Car to the collection and we took a slightly different approach to showing you this kit. This semi-review will tell you about the cars features, details and performance, but more importantly, we hope it serves as inspiration for those looking for a hobby or those in the hobby Vay Tiền Nhanh. 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.

This is part of the “review in a few” series where I show off all the main features of a model, rather than fully going into the history and background of the real car and posting a limited number of pictures for you to drool over. The story begins with the bog-standard Mercedes-Benz 190E, internally designated as the W201. It was launched in December 1982 as their entry-level luxury car. The ‘E’ stood for Einspritzung (fuel injection) and featured a 2-litre in-line 4 petrol engine pushing out 122hp. 1982 Mercedes-Benz 190E – front view.

The main aim of this particular variant was to take the fight to the BMW E30 M3 in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM). However, regulations stipulated that cars racing in this championship had to be based on a roadgoing model. Building upon the cast-iron block from Mercedes’ 8-valve engine, Cosworth made a new aluminium twin-cam 16-valve head amongst other key changes. 1984 Mercedes-Benz 190E – front view.

With the debut of the BMW M3 Sport Evolution, Mercedes-Benz knew they had to turn the wick up a notch and promptly launched the 190E Evolution at the 1989 Geneva Motor Show. On the outside, the Evolution (or Evo I as it would later come to be called) sported a large rear spoiler and wider wheel arches to give it a really butch look! There were many changes under the skin too, including new brakes and a revised suspension system with adjustable ride height. While the power output itself was very similar to the standard the Evo I had some key engine changes that allowed for a higher rev limit and better power generation. A total of 502 units were produced to satisfy the DTM homologation rules and customers could also option an AMG-engineered PowerPack that increased the power by 30hp to a 232hp total. 1989 Mercedes-Benz 190E Evolution I – front view.

Yet another homologation model limited to just 502 examples built, the Evo II featured the AMG PowerPack as standard. This meant it kicked out 232hp @ 7,200rpm and 181 lb-ft of torque @ 5,000rpm. 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E Evolution II – front view.

Of those 502 examples produced, 500 of them were made in Blauschwarz (blue/black metallic) and the final two off the line were painted in Astral Silver, making these two super rare! 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E Evolution II – side view.

Their website has a great section dedicated to the history of the brand here, but if you want the brief lesson here we go… Created in 1934 by Frenchman, Ferdinand de Vazeilles, the company quickly gained a reputation throughout the world of making quality model cars! They were a huge rival to Dinky Toys in the mid-1950s and was bought by Majorette in 1980. In 2003 they were then bought by Smoby, which in turn was bought by the Simba-Dickie Group in 2006 Solido faced being wiped off the map after Smoby closed the factory, but luckily for collectors all around the world, Simba-Dickie gave the brand over to Z Models (of OttOmobile and GT Spirit fame) in 2015 to manage. And boy have they managed it well! I strongly recommend you follow their Facebook page because they are always showing off new releases. After that little stroll down memory lane, here is the 1:18 scale model of the Mercedes-Benz 190E Evolution II in Blauschwarz. Due to its budget price, only the two front doors open on this model but the front wheels do steer. I just want to extend a huge thank you to Solido for sending me this model to review! So what is my quick opinion of this model? I think Solido have been bashing out quality releases for a short while now and their 2021 footprint looks set to be a corker, with brands like McLaren, Jaguar and Liberty Walk in the works. These models retail for between €40-€50 and for that price they are a really great way for parents/grandparents to get their kids involved in model car collecting. After all, they’re the next generation who we will be leaving our models to and they need to learn to appreciate the art of the scale model form! Best of all, even us more seasoned collectors should be snapping these up because they look amazing on display, regardless of price!

Other reviews of Mercedes-Benz models: Spektakularny pakiet aerodynamiczny z regulowanym tylnym spojlerem, 17-calowe felgi Evolution II, zestaw dodatkowych wskaźników, regulowane ze środka pojazdu zawieszenie, pięknie brzmiąca rzędowa czwórka o pojemności 2,5 l oraz legendarna skrzynia Getrag z „jedynką na dół”. Do tego eleganckie wnętrze, zupełnie nie pasujące do ekstremalnego wyglądu zewnętrznego. Nie sposób zrozumieć koncepcji tego samochodu, bez poznania jego historii. Mercedes 190E Evolution II wyprodukowany został w zaledwie 502 sztukach homologacyjnej wersji drogowej, zbudowanej aby skopać tyłki BMW M3 w najbardziej ekscytującej serii wyścigów DTM. Pakiet i spojler powstał dla zwiększenia docisku aerodynamicznego i możliwości zmieszczenia w obrysie karoserii szerszych kół. To miało sprawdzić i sprawdziło się na torze, kiedy Klaus Ludwig sięgnął po tytuł mistrzowski. Dziś to samochód kolekcjonerski, prawdziwy symbol przełomu lat 80-tych i 90-tych. Mercedes 190E Evolution II W201 Rocznik: 1990 Przebieg: 86890 km Pojemność: 2463 cm³ Rodzaj paliwa: benzyna Skrzynia biegów: manualna Moc: 235 KM Mercedes-Benz 190 E EVO II Złota era wyścigów DTM, firma Mercedes według obowiązujących przepisów musiała wyprodukować 500 egzemplarzy wersji drogowej by otrzymać homologacje. Prezentowany samochód to numer 229 z 500 wyprodukowany w kwietniu 1990 roku. Evo 2 zostało sprowadzone z Japonii. Najciekawsze samochody klasyczne, youngtimery i przyszłe klasyki na sprzedaż.
