A homologated dream for any car collector.
In the world of rare and exclusive collector cars, homologation specs take the cake as some of the most desirable examples in existence. Shaped by the hands of motorsport engineering, these one-off track cars were originally designed to follow exact rules and regulations that would allow them to compete in race events. These guidelines included a specifically-numbered production series, offering tuned down versions with full interiors to the public for legal road use. One of the most iconic homologation examples is the Mercedes-Benz 190E Evolution II, developed in the early 90s for the DTM (Deutsche Tourenwagen-Meisterschaft) race series. The automotive professionals at Status Auto Group are proud to present this immaculate 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E Evolution II as part of its extensive inventory of highly-desirable exotic cars.
This incredibly rare 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II was originally delivered to German as a new car because the United States never received any of the 502 chassis produced. With only two owners in its history, the 190E later found itself on the streets of Monaco where it remained in pristine condition while being maintained meticulously. This spec features a sleek Blue-Black Metallic finish from the factory, accentuating the extra standard aerodynamic body components that make it a road-legal race car.
Inside the driver-oriented cabin of the 190E EVO II is a comfort-focused configuration that beautifully balances luxury and performance. An all-black interior welcomes you as you step inside, with black leather bucket seats and all-original trim making it a true collector-grade gem. Its factory look and feel demonstrate the attention to detail when engineering these early 90s performance cars.
The Mercedes-Benz 190E Evolution II packs a punch with its 2.5L inline-four engine, delivering 235 horsepower at 7,200 RPM—a serious output for its time. Paired with a five-speed manual transmission, it channels power to the rear wheels, making it a proper driver’s car. With a 0-60 mph time of around 7 seconds and a top speed of 155 mph, the Evo II wasn’t just about aggressive looks; it had the performance to match. Its motorsport roots shine through in every rev, making it a legend among collectors today.
