HWA Evo: Mercedes 190E reborn with carbon body and 443bhp V6

Inside, the Evo gets digital instruments designed to replicate 1990s LCD displays, with smartphone integration. It also features Recaro seats and a road-legal fire extinguisher. 

HWA selected the Mercedes V6 because it provided the “optimum solution of low weight, compact packaging and agile handling”. Kerb weight is 1360kg.

“Given our expertise in zero-emission drivetrains, electric propulsion could have been a possible route,” said HWA CTO Gordian von Schöning. 

“However, from the first customer consultations on the project, it was very apparent that owners wanted an internal combustion engine – something that would deliver real driving emotion.”

Just 100 examples of the Evo will be produced, priced from €714,000 – equivalent to £603.799 in the UK. It does come with a 12-month/12,000 mile warranty, though…
