The ULTIMATE Mercedes Benz 190E EVO II by HWA! Exclusive

HWA in Affalterbach invited me to see their new car, which is officially launched today - the HWA Evo. This car is so much more than a 'restomod', it is the legend of the Mercedes Benz 190E Evo II reborn! Just 100 of these incredible cars will be produced at a cost of 714k euros each. It features a 3.0 V6 turbo from Mercedes (but heavily modified) with 450-500bhp, and a 6 speed manual box driving the rear wheels only. The Baby Benz just grew up!

[@sande1212]

I've had this exact idea in my mind for years-I can't believe they're actually making an updated version of the E190! This is more exciting than any new supercar, any day of the week!

[@gaddahrakog]

Yes Greatest idea But NO car in 2024 have its muffler only on one friggin side

[@cogboy302]

Oooooo, yes please. Keep your hypercars, I want this.

[@CoD-Master-xXx]

This HWA car is absolutely stunning! Technically, it's a masterpiece with its powerful V6 engine, and the design is just breathtaking. The attention to detail and the overall aesthetic make it a true work of art. I can't get enough of the sound either - pure adrenaline! HWA has truly outdone themselves with this model.

[@phono7312]

These two were showcased at a SOC event in Andermatt. Both absolute pieces of work, but the new version left me speechless.

Владею 190Е на м103 2.6. занимаюсь рестоврацией его,это очень накладно для меня,но оно того стоит ведь Baby Benz это легенда!!! Спасибо парням из HWA за возрождение легенды в новом обличии.. жаль что не смогу когда либо его купить... Успехов вам парни... I own 190E on M103 2.6. I am restoring it, it’s very expensive for me, but it’s worth it because Baby Benz is a legend!!! Thanks to the guys from HWA for reviving the legend in a new guise... it's a pity that I won't be able to buy it ever... Good luck to you guys...

[@HorsepowerHuntersYT]

I want to buy a 2.6 soon!

[@incolink]

who would have thought that a million dollar 190E is a viable business venture .... singer Gunther works and now this .. its incredible how engineers are able to manufacture there dreams and people are willing to pay .. what a time to be alive

[@trueseeker262]

Look so much better than new cars.

[@HorsepowerHuntersYT]

100%

[@aguswiss]

Awesome car, nice video and a great BS duo at the end😉

[@HorsepowerHuntersYT]

I knew you’d like those two 😉

[@James-po2sv]

Thank you for this segment as the Top Gear video was absolutely unwatchable

[@HorsepowerHuntersYT]

I’m flattered!

[@luckerkhove6844]

Top Gear sucks !

[@James-po2sv]

@@HorsepowerHuntersYTkeep it it! (And don’t steal the models)

[@mikewozawski1634]

I thought the same

[@samaantree]

Yeah I started to watch the top gear vid then stopped and typed this car model in the search bar to find much better coverage 😊👍🏿

[@cc4puaci73]

What a fantastic project ! Congratulations to HWA Team !

[@HorsepowerHuntersYT]

I love it!

[@raymondkoledoye9941]

I love that Beautiful Restomod 190E it's my favorite and I wish this car had an AMG v8 engine.

[@ethan8532]

The back end is straight out of cyberpunk

[@HorsepowerHuntersYT]

Hope that’s a good thing!

[@henrinidegger868]

Amazing thanks for this great video

[@kameronkingsbury9386]

I've seen like 6 vids of this car and not one person has shown the interior...

[@nadk8886]

😂😂

[@ap_greed]

Tells you all you need to know right there

[@benstone5038]

I like it, not as much as the original and the original is cheaper. I own a 190E 2.3-16 and absolutely love these cars. Great vid thank you, the TG one was a difficult watch.

[@JensEausB]

You can also see the Cadilac Racing trailer from the WEC Team which is also based at HWA.😅

[@HorsepowerHuntersYT]

Good spot!

[@FranciscoPerez-kz1bf]

Muchisimo dinero a cambio de esa adaptación, mil veces con el original a pesar de su potencia mucho más moderada, un coche espectacular.

[@lushikatakanbaru2508]

I really f***ing love Mercs, but I can't ignore the fact that you didn't mention the Fittipaldi EF7 when you spoke of the De Tomaso. Now I know why I love it so much, it was built by the best.

[@HorsepowerHuntersYT]

Sorry there was too much to see!

[@lushikatakanbaru2508]

@@HorsepowerHuntersYT I suppose there was, I worked for Mercedes some time and I know exactly what you mean.

2 minutes with topgear made me go to this to hear about the car instead..

[@HorsepowerHuntersYT]

Well that’s kind of you too say!

[@monkkeye]

It's just so epic what a masterpiece

[@hagebunshin]

What about the interior, ive seen this all over the internet but no interior shots.

Can i buy part from HWA like lights for my 190 Evoultion ?

[@superfast30]

Stunning!

[@HorsepowerHuntersYT]

It’s epic

[@joekurdish3385]

Mansury is crying in the corner 😂😂😂

[@marklawrence2417]

Lovely looking car - definitely prefer the wheels which mirror the originals. Worst bit, rear lights look a bit 'eBay' aftermarket - not very classy.

[@HorsepowerHuntersYT]

I don’t mind the rear lights. The headlights aren’t my favourite bit

[@MrMing1980]

Definitely John Wicks car.......Excommunicado style

[@midnightblue1874]

Those wheels are kinda huge

[@МагомедГаджиев-и8з]

where is interior video of that car? looks like scam

[@HorsepowerHuntersYT]

The car is a prototype. The interior isn’t ready yet

[@silhouette300]

@@HorsepowerHuntersYT they gonna sale 1 example in couple weeks on auction) how it could be possible so?)) so overhyped and overvalued project. Better buy original 190 evo in top condition + new gt3 rs for the same money) and still 100-150k left))

[@garison2085]

Ждём рестомод от BMW в виде M3 E30

[@bruciekibbutz4698]

714K EUR? Lmfao.

[@HorsepowerHuntersYT]

Think of it like a Singer, it’s completely reengineered

[@Veryperceptivecat]

@@HorsepowerHuntersYTit may be, but completely unnecessarily. This and the DLS seem to be designed for the same 20-25 individuals around the world who snap up anything hot that appears on the market, be it a T50, an Apollo, a DLS or a nostalgic Lancia restomod. I'm happy it exists and that HWA get the recognition they deserve, but this is not serious. I'd say Mechatronik get it just right in that respect. Great video and tour nonetheless!

[@cogboy302]

The De Tomaso is rather nice too. - It's making my underpants smaller.

[@HorsepowerHuntersYT]

It’s wicked

[@cesarcesarpires]

Whats the production number of the old Evo II?

[@HorsepowerHuntersYT]

502 units

[@standingwithfaith4813]

looks like ebay headlights and taillamps

[@kathrynillsley7557]

👍

[@ronaldkasteel3459]

Ah 800k pass lol maybe 200k would be better whit a 8cylinder

[@carft1234]

V8 would.make it unbelievably heavy mess up the weight distribution

[@HorsepowerHuntersYT]

This is what HWA said. Baby Benz was never meant to have a big engine

[@iceberg4736]

​@@HorsepowerHuntersYT maybe they should do a version of the 500E but with the 6.3 or 5.5....🤔

[@bernardwarr4187]

Great video and information. As a 6liter 500E and 190E owner it’s right up my street!

[@langraman8756]

seems just a hotrod nothing more. no links to the original Evo one bit

[@leevancleefe988]

Absurd not to delete the rear doors. I would never drive a four door car, let alone a four door Performance car.

[@ИгорьЛях-н8ъ]

Тогда этот автомобиль не для Вас

[@HorsepowerHuntersYT]

Wouldn’t really be a 190E if you took away half the doors

[@ValladolidArde]

looks horrid, an insult to the DTM legacy

[@rikhyams247]

So don't buy one for your collection

[@garison2085]

Выглядит отлично, ты нечего не понимаешь в автомобилях Mercedes
