Benz’s 190E Evo II, equipped with a wider and highly functional body kit had improved aerodynamics. The Evo 2’s body, designed by A Stuttgart University professor, enabled the German muscle car to increase its downforce and reduce its coefficient of drag to a mind-boggling 0.29 cd.This is the one-of-one Mercedes-Benz C63 DTM Evolution, the unholy spawn of a pokey old 1985 Mercedes-Benz 190E sedan and a 2010 C63 AMG—the body of the former, the complete guts of the latter, with a fully custom interior whose astounding quality could shame most OEMs. Strapped in and behind the wheel, my only instructions are to hold back As I mentioned on another post on this forum, the EZL unit fitted when I bought the car was the wrong one (for a 1.8), so I've changed that for a (more) correct one (from a W124 300E, which seems to have almost exactly the same spec as the 190E 2.6 unit).

With automatic transmissions, a 190E 2.6 averaged 19.2 mpg, compared to 20.1 mpg in a 190 2.3. Handling and roadholding are extremely capable on both models. The taut Mercedes-Benz suspension, while allowing low-speed bumps to thump through to the seat, is quite absorbent in most situations. It also helps produce good high-speed control. A four-speed automatic was optional, but sharply out of character for a machine with a 7,000-RPM redline. Standard on all 16-valvers was a 3.27:1 final-drive ratio in a limited-slip differential.
