Mercedes 190E Evo II. so sessy. I really like the W201 chassis, and i know where a minty bone stock 190 is, too :ninja:

only 502 made, 1-500 in black-blue metallic, and 501-502 in Astral Silver. All 502 were sold out before it was even unveiled... and for $80 grand a pop.

N/A 2.5L 16-valve inline 4 that made 235bhp... ride height was adjustable from a switch inside the cabin. Oh, and dont knock the adjustable wing - it was wind tunnel tested to reduce drag to 0.29 and simultaneously obviously increased downforce. Basically it was a racecar with 4 doors, woodgrain, and leather :goodjob:

keep in mind this was unveiled in 1990. Do want! :yes:

Depends what kind you want. You can find good condition ones for around $7,000 to $10,000. The majority were automatic (It is a Merc :rolleyes: ) but there are manuals spread amongst them.

Funny I don't remember the Evo back in the day, I only remember the the 190e 2.3-16 It had the front and a smaller wing but I didn't think it had fender flares either.

I've never heard of or seen this car before. I'd like to drop-kick the wing (I understand that it's functional, but it looks plain silly and the car is only pushing 235 hp), but I'd rock it nonetheless.

I saw one similar to that one but less aggressive in lawrenceville, It was just widebody all white along with stock white AMG looking wheels. It was pretty sweet!
