LEUBA COLLECTION presents to you :

Magnificent and rare second-owner 190 Evo 1 for sale, Swiss-spec model in superb original condition, with regular servicing by an authorized dealership, numerous recent expenditures, and a current professional appraisal

Exceptional new arrival at Leuba Collection, your specialist in sports, classic and collector vehicles!

The model offered for sale is the legendary Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution I, a true icon of late-1980s German motorsport. Developed for DTM homologation, this compact sports saloon represents one of the most glorious chapters in Mercedes-Benz history. Engineered by AMG even before their official merger with the brand with the three-pointed star, it combines precision engineering, absolute exclusivity, and true racing DNA.

Produced in only 502 numbered examples, the Evolution I stands out with its sharpened aerodynamics, self-levelling suspension, 2.5-litre 16-valve Cosworth engine, and a chassis honed for the track. Every detail, from the rear spoiler to the limited-slip differential, serves as a reminder that this is a genuine race car homologated for road use.

A symbol of an era when Mercedes seamlessly combined luxury, performance, and uncompromising engineering, this 190E 2.5-16 Evo I is aimed at purists and discerning collectors who understand its historical significance and increasing rarity. A cornerstone of the golden age of DTM, when the star shone brighter than ever on European circuits.
