When the past and the future come together in a harmonious whole, something truly special is created. And that is exactly what is happening with the HWA Mercedes-Benz 190E Evo II, which the legendary HWA transforms into an exclusive restomod. Introducing the HWA EVO – a limited edition that will bring the iconic Mercedes back to life and bring it into the modern era.
When the name Hans Werner Aufrecht is mentioned, many car enthusiasts know that big things are about to happen. As one of the founders of AMG, Aufrecht's company HWA is now embarking on a project – the HWA Mercedes-Benz 190E Evo II – that will mark the automotive industry. The Mercedes-Benz 190E Evo II, an icon of motor racing, will be reborn under the name HWA EVO. With a price 714,000 euros (around $786,000) this restomod will definitely be something elite.
Only 100 lucky people will be able to enjoy owning this limited edition HWA EVO. Its design remains faithful to the original, with even more pronounced fenders, a massive rear spoiler and a modern interpretation of the legendary six-spoke wheels. Design changes include a black front grille, the removal of the Mercedes triangle emblem on the hood, a new front bumper and LED headlights.
The result is called the HWA Mercedes-Benz 190E Evo II and is a modern tribute to one of the most famous DTM racing cars of all time, the Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evo II. The Evo II, of which only 500 were built for homologation purposes, was a stylistic icon of the early 1990s and set standards in design and performance. With it, Klaus Ludwig won his first DTM title with Mercedes-Benz in 1992.
Although the technical specifications have not yet been finalized, HWA promises to use the latest technology in powertrain, performance, chassis, brakes, aerodynamics and safety. We can expect the HWA EVO to combine the legacy of Mercedes-Benz and HWA's mastery of automotive engineering and design.
The HWA EVO is not just a car; it is a symbol of heritage, innovation and exclusivity. With limited production and a high price, it is not intended for everyone, but those who can boast of it will have a piece of history disguised in modern technology. Reviving the legend of the 190E Evo II as the HWA EVO is proof that history can be elegantly intertwined with modernity to create something truly unique.
