My GT7 Log: Know Your Legends - Mercedes-Benz 190E Evo II

Let's get to know about the legendary cars that are hard to get in Gran Turismo 7's Legend Cars not only because of their extreme rarity that appears once in a blue moon but also their outrageous price tag that takes almost forever to save one. Today, let's get to know about the Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II, the retro super saloon that is as close as you can get to its touring car equivalent.


Topbilled as the ultimate version of the Mercedes-Benz 190E, the Evolution II is a rare limited edition sports sedan designed for German Touring Car races, with a 0-100kph time in 7 seconds. Its distinct exterior design includes a rear wing, front air dam, side skirts, and flared fenders, and a Momo steering wheel in a performance-oriented interior. The suspension has upgraded stiffer springs and shocks, larger brakes, and a limited-slip differential. Only 500 units were produced, making it a sought-after collector's item and an iconic vehicle representing advanced engineering and racing pedigree.


Let's take the 190E Evo II around the Goodwood track to see how much racing pedigree this retro super saloon possesses. Roll the tape.


It did it in 1m34.307s.

With its touring car looks and performance, the 190E Evo II always strives and prospers for more. Looks like me and the 190E are "unbounded" for each other. Get it? Unbounded.

What other hard-to-get legendary cars should I drive next? Stay tuned for more.
