Mercedes 190 Evolution



Started as a car to compete with the BMW M3 Sport Evolution. The Mercedes 190 Evolution was created for the purpose of circuit racing. Mercedes decided to introduce their old 2.5 liter engine into this model even though the previous 190e and 190d also ran a similar one. This engine first lacked performance until Mercedes decided to add a stock turbo charged motor in 1990. By this point in time the 190 Evolution was only known in Europe. And in 1991 Mercedes imported only 5000 of them. These models were also made for a short time in America  for the American demographic, but featured different components and an unreliable engine. The 190 Evolution is one of my favorite cars it was also featured on the background of this blog. These cars are sold for around 5,000-10,000 euros and double the price in the United States. So if you think this car is for you I would suggest making the flight over to Germany.www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXUM1o8LCFU
