The Ultimate Evolution of the Baby Benz
Built in just 502 units, the Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II represents the most extreme and uncompromising expression of Mercedes’ DTM program. Introduced in 1990, it was engineered with a single objective: dominate touring car racing through homologation excellence.
Its aggressive stance, flared arches, massive rear wing, and race-derived details made it instantly recognizable. This was not a styling exercise, but a declaration of intent—designed to outclass rivals and redefine what a performance sedan could be.
Radical DTM Aerodynamics
The Evolution II pushed aerodynamic development further than any production Mercedes before it. Developed extensively in the wind tunnel, its towering rear wing, front splitter, and reshaped bodywork were all functional components designed to generate downforce and stability at high speeds.
Combined with 17-inch alloy wheels and widened tracks, the Evo II delivered race-level grip and balance, translating Mercedes’ DTM expertise directly from the circuit to the road in a way few homologation cars ever achieved.
Race-Bred Engineering Perfection
Under the hood sits a 2.5-liter, 16-valve engine producing 235 HP, capable of revving to an astonishing 7,800 rpm, paired with a Getrag 5-speed dogleg manual gearbox. This powertrain was engineered for precision, durability, and high-rev performance—true hallmarks of motorsport DNA.
The package is completed by Brembo 4-piston brakes, electronically adjustable suspension, and a chassis tuned to deliver razor-sharp response. Every component serves a purpose, making the Evo II one of the most technically focused road cars Mercedes-Benz has ever built.
Performance Through Control and Precision
The Evolution II represents the moment when Mercedes-Benz fully committed to touring car domination. Every decision—from aerodynamics to drivetrain—was driven by competition, not compromise.
This is the purest expression of DTM engineering transferred to the road, a machine where motorsport ambition and road-going execution exist in perfect balance.
A DTM Icon for the True Collector
More than a homologation special, the 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II is a cornerstone of touring car history and one of the most recognizable performance sedans ever produced. Its presence, engineering, and rarity place it firmly among the greats of motorsport-derived road cars.
Owning an Evo II is owning a piece of Mercedes-Benz’s most glorious racing era—a symbol of ambition, precision, and dominance that continues to captivate collectors worldwide.
Performance Through Control and Precision
With 0–100 km/h in approximately 6.9 seconds.
The Evo II delivers performance through balance rather than brute force. Its lightweight construction, rear-wheel-drive layout, and advanced suspension create confidence and composure at speed.
The driving experience is engaging, focused, and communicative—rewarding precision and skill, exactly as a homologation car should.
