Default Mercedes-Benz 190E 16V EVO II indepth!

Such a gorgeous car, and even if Mercedes is trying hard with the CLK DTM today, something like this will never be matched IMO.

Really an impressive ride, too bad it was wet, but it's light, 1200 kg I think and when accelerating hard, it's really something despite the relatively low horsepower quote! An amazing push and you still feel like you're sitting in grand daddy's 190E!! I adored the ride and taking pics of this beauty!

That's a really cool car!!! Such an aggressive look for a Merc with that huge wing!!

Saw two of these last week 8)

Thanks for the pics!

Wow, thanks for the pics TT! I really love that car! :good:
To me it's in the same league as the E30 M3, too bad it's underrated so much...

Don't know too much about these, but that is a wild wing for a Merc! Are more pics of the 997 turbo coming as well...? Nice pics as always TT.

I have a question... if this was the Evolution II what was the Evolution I ?? I guess there was no Evo I or the Evo I was the normal 190E...

The EVO I had smaller wing, less frantic bodywork and less power, but was already quite a step forward from the basic model

Thanks! I don't remember seeing that version at all. But it looks damn cool too. Maybe even better than this EVO II cause it doesn't have that huge wing
