The 190E is on its way becoming a classic but the 190E 2.5-16V EVO II already is. With a current price of around 150.000 euros you need to be a real fanatic to pay this much money for this icon. Of course the technology in this car is outdated but the looks are very characteristic and brutal. Every Mercedes-Benz fanatic will probably love this model.
When you wanted to show off in a sedan back in the early nineties you could buy a BMW, Mercedes-Benz or Audi. With this 190E 2.5-16V EVO II you wouldn't only impress those who love the looks of this car but also those who're interested in the technology of cars. A 2.5 liter four-cylinder engine powers the car and with some adjustments, but without turbos, this engine produces 232 hp. That was quite a lot of power back in the days and it made you sprint to 100 kph in just seven seconds. The top speed of the car was 250 kph thanks to the very functional bodykit. The big spoiler on the back is adjustable and can create a lot of downforce. To make this car ready for the track, the car was standard built with an oil-cooler
Just like the EVO I, only 502 copies were built. The big success of the first generation resulted in the fact that all of the 502 copies were already sold out before the EVO II was introduced on the 1990 Geneva Motor Show. You would almost forget about the fact that this car is already 25 years old.
