In 1990, the Mercedes 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II, the pinnacle of the W 201 series, was launched. Developed from this sports sedan, the Group A touring race car, known as the “Evo II,” clinched the top three positions in the DTM championship during the 1992 season. A total of 502 units of the Evo II were produced, the minimum required for FIA Group A homologation for DTM racing. Each vehicle was painted in “Blue-Black Metallic,” equipped with 17-inch wheels, striking fender flares, and an adjustable, massive rear spoiler. This model not only symbolizes Mercedes-Benz’s competitive edge in motorsports but also stands as a legendary collector’s item, embodying the spirit of racing and engineering excellence.
Under the hood, the 190 E 2.5-16 Evo II is powered by a refined 2.5-liter inline-four engine that delivers 235 horsepower. This powertrain was engineered for precision and responsiveness, achieving a 0 to 100 km/h sprint in just 7.1 seconds. Its high-performance engine features a sophisticated design with advanced mechanics, including a finely tuned suspension system designed to handle the rigors of both track and road use efficiently.
We are thrilled to offer a meticulously maintained and originally preserved Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II at auction. Originally delivered to Japan in 1990, this prestigious vehicle later journeyed through Great Britain and Germany, maintaining its rich heritage and historical value.
This Evo II remains in its original blue-black metallic paint, showing only slight signs of use which add character to its appearance. It has been preserved in remarkable, accident-free condition with only 14,107 km on the odometer, cared for by just three owners to date. Its authenticity is guaranteed by original registration documents from Germany and Great Britain, enhancing its collectability and appeal.
Prior to delivery, the vehicle will receive a fresh service, including new tires, to ensure it meets the highest standards of performance and preservation. Offered net without VAT, this Evo II stands out with its exclusivity and is ready to become a treasured asset in any collection.
