STUTTGART: As the name suggests, the "Evolution II" was the successor to the Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution.

Over 500 units have ever been made. It was equipped with the brand's top-of-the line 4-cylinder 235hp engine.

It also sported an imposing rear spoiler that considerably boosted downforce and road-holding, which was its most significant distinguishing feature with regard to its predecessors.

Both the spoiler and the model's 17-inch alloy wheels were directly inherited from the DTM racer.

The limited-edition, street-legal version of the famous racing car still remains the most famous version of the 190 E, which first launched in 1984.
