Mercedes Benz 190 Evo II: Road-legal DTM Legend

Authentic Lineage
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) WDB2010361F742933 confirms this Evo II as one of the most sought-after homologation specials in automotive history. The designation "201036" identifies it as a genuine Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II. As one of only 502 units ever produced to meet DTM racing requirements, this example represents a rare opportunity to own a pinnacle of 1990s German engineering.

2.5-Liter High-Performance Engine
At the heart of this legend is the M102 2.5-liter, 16-valve inline-four engine, developed with input from Cosworth. In its "Evo II" configuration, the power plant delivers 173 kW (235 hp) at 7,200 rpm. Known for its high-revving nature and sharp throttle response, this engine propels the car to a top speed of 250 km/h. The power is delivered to the rear wheels via a "dog-leg" 5-speed manual transmission, ensuring an uncompromisingly sporty driving experience.

Exterior and Chassis
Finished in the iconic Blue-Black Metallic (199), the exterior is defined by the aggressive aerodynamic package that made the Evo II famous. The massive, adjustable rear wing, widened wheel arches, and deep front splitter are not just for show—they provide significant downforce for high-speed stability. The car sits on its characteristic 17-inch light-alloy wheels, housing a chassis equipped with self-leveling suspension to balance track-ready handling with road-going compliance.

Documentation and Provenance
This Evo II is a remarkably preserved specimen with a low recorded mileage of only 31,358 km. First registered on January 21, 1991, the vehicle boasts an exceptional ownership history with only 1 previous owner. Such a low number of owners, combined with the documented mileage, makes this vehicle a prime candidate for a high-end collection or a blue-chip investment. It stands as a "time capsule" example of Mercedes-Benz’s most aggressive "Baby Benz" ever built.
