I can’t believe you would ask questions then cut the man off before he finishes his answer.. Beautiful car but this was tough to watch due to the blatant disrespect of this engineer..
Agreed. He was just about to mention what they discovered about original chassis when they were stripping it and the fucker cut him off to talk about something else. 🤣🤣
Henry Catchpole would have done this interview justice. The video would have been twice as long, but that's the point. We want as much detail as possible. Hopefully Henry has an audience with this car sooner rather than later, so we can learn more.
Ollie interrupting the man is so annoying, he barely let him finish a sentence, that was a crappy behaviour, we want to hear the man talk not just Olly disrespectfully stopping him in the middle of every sentence.
Can't help but love what HWA has chosen to do. Bruno Sacco looks with modern tech is outside of my price range, but the 190E 2.5 Evo absolutely deserves the same amount of love that Kimera is giving the 037 and Alfaholics are giving the GTA
Dear Top Gear, I sincerely would love to watch this video at peace & with enjoyment of the explanation from the engineer. I believe every shot of videos are actually directed with certain time frame to be maintained for a content video. If would be great for your audiences and fans to watch a video content that is produced professionally without having to watch parts of the video where the interviewer seem rudely interrupting the explanations to the questions asked by the interviewer himself. If necessary, brief either one to only speak certain number of words in any interactions. (which seems to the issue) P.s - I couldn't bring myself to watch the video to the end after just less than 3 minutes of the video although the reason I clicked to watch because it caught my attention. I believe non of us (viewers & me) would like to hate anyone in the video. Thank you. With warm regards, Sebastian Ng
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.
Absolute dream car right there, beautiful body lines. I actually bought a 190e with the intent of restoring one and it's such a huge undertaking. Poor thing is rotting lol
This is too awesome, building myself at this moment a w124 track car with a v6 m272 NA engine and standard location 6 speed manual transmission. Working on Engine placement so I fit the modern steering rack / deleting the rack box, then onto the cage!!! This video gives me so much motivation to finish it before this summer 2025 Thank you! Cheers
Electric restomod could be cool, depends on what car you’re gonna electrify. If we’re talking about classic performance cars like Mustangs, Ferraris and Porsches, then the answer is hell no. But cars like the Beetle, the Fiat 500, the Transporter, or micro cars like the Isetta, P50, then I’ll 100% choose the electric version, so much nice to drive.
i love restomods like this. they are just always soo expensive. but for good reason. you have to have a tremendous amount of money to spend 750k on something like this instead of buying a revuelto or something a lot faster, modern and more exotic.
Guys, Great Job, Very Insightful. The car was very nice. This is the future, older cars modified to performance beasts. Future classics in an Electric world.
Ich würde mir wünschen das Ihr Fahrzeug bei Schöne Sterne am 24 bis 25.08.2024 in Hattingen präsentiert wird. Das ist das beste Event des Jahres für Mercedes Liebhaber.
People complaining about the V6 😅 Wait until they find out about their beloved Koenigsegg. You can get a Koenigsegg Gemera with a 3 cylinder for almost 2 million dollars..
This looks a lot like what I've been wanting to do for a long time. A bare 190 and just fill it up with better parts and the Evo look. Friend of mine has an EX-DTM race car which fueled many ideas through the years.
Lets hope they can build one for hill climb events - perhaps even Pikes Peak. This retro shape is far more appealing to the eye than majority of modern designed sports cars & very impractible supercars
Great piece of engineering… but what I dont understand about this project is that individuals like me (big fans of the 90’s evolution cars - BMW, MB, Audi) would likely rather go for the original and bring it into perfect condition. Nothing about this new version appeals to me.
Which car would you like to see HWA restore/build/reinterpret next?
Just this one, but with modern V8.
McLaren F1
BMW E46 M3
first gen a class it would be neat
SLC rallycar
A real pity that the HWA engineer has been interrupted and cut short on every second sentence. Let the man finish his explanations, please.
I felt the same sentiment. It was like he was attempting to rush the interview and was disrespectful as well
I agree
I think he is trying to act excited but comes off really wrong..😅
Noticed this too, less than 1.5minutes into the video 😢
It’s an interesting interview technique
Try not to interrupt mid-sentence
Ollie: Impossible
I can’t believe you would ask questions then cut the man off before he finishes his answer.. Beautiful car but this was tough to watch due to the blatant disrespect of this engineer..
Dude has attention disorder. Like most people these days...
I absolutely loathe when people do that. Let the man speak.
He was literally just about to explain what they had done and then gets interrupted every 2 seconds!! Very frustrating start to the interview
the interviewer needs to let the guy talk,,, cringing for everytime he talks over the poor guy or cuts him off while he is talking
Agreed. He was just about to mention what they discovered about original chassis when they were stripping it and the fucker cut him off to talk about something else. 🤣🤣
Actually, he's trying to justify guy's 3/4 million dollar mod...
Swear to God man, the interruption makes me tired.
LET THE FREAKING DUDE TAAAAAAAAAAAALKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was a lively conversation I dont understand why you all are hating on the guy.
Henry Catchpole would have done this interview justice. The video would have been twice as long, but that's the point. We want as much detail as possible.
Hopefully Henry has an audience with this car sooner rather than later, so we can learn more.
I love Henry
Youuu are god damnnnn right!
Yes sir. He is a real listener very important no listening here just wants to talk
"It's me!!! The interrupter"
Oh no. Now I have to spend the next three hours watching clips of Brian Stack.
He's like the shittest bond villain 😂
Main character syndrome
He's so annoying
👍😂
Ollie interrupting the man is so annoying, he barely let him finish a sentence, that was a crappy behaviour, we want to hear the man talk not just Olly disrespectfully stopping him in the middle of every sentence.
For future content, please allow the person we want to hear from, speak.
He does this every time... I don't get why they even send him on these things still
Ollie kept interrupting every sentence
Ollie really wanted to be somewhere else, trying to rush the interview
Very disrespectful
He has terrible camera presence. Sounds super uninterested and no charisma
3:43 not only does he interrupt, but he doesn't even know what he's going to say before he opens his mouth.
German man is a real engineer saying "The engine block is three and a half cylinder long." Appreciate that one 👍
Can’t believe top gear got that dork to interrupt the engineer every second sentense
Let the man finish a sentence. Jesus Christ.
Unwatchable, why do an interview if you don’t want to listen to the person you interviewing. I never post comments. But this is ridiculous!
It’s so funny that top gear will never respond to anyone because then they’d have to acknowledge the criticism which of course they will never do.
Frustrating that the guy keeps interrupting the engineer. Let him SPEAK!
Thanks for letting us hear it for 5 seconds with FX noise blocking everything
Totally agree... another reason why this video is poor. Interrupting and then stupid fx over the engine sound. I expected better from TG
@@hairyclassics1789 TG is dead, for so long that even it doesn't smell anymore, is just a pile of dry bones...
"it's not a restomod, it's something else altogether"
*Proceeds to put 'restomod' in the title*
Nice one ollie😂
That's on the editor/social media manager.
It's still a restomod......
It's a restomod the same way a Singer or RUF is a Porsche restomod. Incredibly high quality
@@amazin7006 RUF isn't restomod, they did stuff mostly in period, so it's a tuning company. Except for the new SCR, they're a legit OEM now.
@@amazin7006 RUF is a car manufacturer
Every single video the comments are filled with complaints about the hosts. Clearly they don’t give a shit.
When car channels get too big , they stop caring about their subs
Donut media did the same ajd I had their influencer content
Martin Brundle famously said that the 190 Evo was the best handling 4 door saloon that he’s ever driven 😉
😅 alright, Callum May.
Lotus Carlton and M5.
Can't help but love what HWA has chosen to do. Bruno Sacco looks with modern tech is outside of my price range, but the 190E 2.5 Evo absolutely deserves the same amount of love that Kimera is giving the 037 and Alfaholics are giving the GTA
Let the expert speak. So rude interrupting him constantly. Incredibly polite German dude, I would've blown a gasket!

Pleasantly surprised by a lack of Ollies "what a thing" trope, unpleasantly surprised(?) by his hubris not letting the hwa cto tell us about his car 😂
i've been dreaming about a car just like this but with a NA V8, or the modern turbo V8. Beautiful work!
Stop interrupting Ollie 😡
Jesus stop interrupting him
One of the most iconic cars ever designed, and this mod enhanced every nuance it already has. Very impressed!
MASTERPIECE ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Now the Evo got what has been missing for about 30 years.
Mean, serios optic 😈
Top gear downfall is so bad that they are doing worse job than RUclips channel
This HWA car is absolutely stunning! Technically, it's a masterpiece with its powerful V6 engine, and the design is just breathtaking.

😍 Make small progress every day 💪 progress is progress.
I am building my dream V12 supercar with the OG zonda engine Mercedes M120 😎
I’m 1:44 seconds in and he’s has Interrupted the G 5 times
This is too awesome, building myself at this moment a w124 track car with a v6 m272 NA engine and standard location 6 speed manual transmission. Working on Engine placement so I fit the modern steering rack / deleting the rack box, then onto the cage!!! This video gives me so much motivation to finish it before this summer 2025 Thank you!

Let’s be honest. Restomod is the coolest tuning for an older car (except if it’s being electrified).
Electric restomod could be cool, depends on what car you’re gonna electrify. If we’re talking about classic performance cars like Mustangs, Ferraris and Porsches, then the answer is hell no. But cars like the Beetle, the Fiat 500, the Transporter, or micro cars like the Isetta, P50, then I’ll 100% choose the electric version, so much nice to drive.
@@tommywang8229 no
electric can be cool, ever hear an electric motor over volted out of it's mined? it sounds like an F1 car 20 decibels quieter
@@Dante_S550_Turbo maybe a hybrid resto mod not full ev. Imo I see that a resto luxury cruiser would make more sense as a ev.
@Dante_S550_Turbo no it doesnt it sounds like Tinnitus
What a beautiful machine 😍
Look at the beautiful, clean, sharp and perfectly proportioned original car. That would be my choice, every day of the week.
None of these comments are talking about this amazing car. It’s beautiful and I’d love to see more
This with the 6.2 v8 from the c63. Dream car.
I love this older Mercedes stuff!
I hope there's more to follow!
Reasons why still I am a classic car lover. They have class
What a dream car 🤩😍
For that money should be a ground up carbon tub NA AMG V12
The tub itself would be 700k
@Shadowboost carbon tub is a pretty straightforward thing these days not like 30 years ago
Looking forward to Henry Catchpole's review
Amazing car.
Beautiful design.
One, of the best car ever!
Those are nice cars, not like today's junk!!!
"you don't want to have fancy behaviour when you are really fast" haha, love it
This line really stood out to me as well. Very eloquently stated
One minute 30 in and for the love of god let the man speak about his masterpiece i want to hear it
They will make about 7 of them and Batman will buy them all!! LOL
What a masterpiece!
all of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina are in delirium 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
NARAVNO!! 😎
Russian mob bosses are working weekends
@@brinjoness3386 "A man, a word." Albanian proverb
the evo 2 has my favorite stock wheels of all time. Cant really think of any better. Theyre so simple but so extraordinary too.
The 6 spoke wheels look amazing, id love this
WOOW that's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!!!
Beautiful!! Absolutely marvelous!!!
Massive respect for this! Followed by drool drool drool 🤤
best merc restomod, been waiting for this since the rumors, favorite dtm car
HWA making resto mods on the next level, amount of engineering they do is just amazing. What an awesome company
Great video Top Gear 😊❤❤
I'd be happy with the model at 11:15 😊
Mate hve you heard of letting the person you are interviewing talk. I know mind blowing concept 🤯🤯
What a work of art really beautiful!
My love favorite Mercedes race car in motorsports history and best 190E Restomod ever built.
LOVE IT :D
I saw a old Evo some way back :D
They are sooo iconic!
At that point, why not just build a completely new car? Why try to recycle a chassis of a really old really expensive car...
Maybe because if they keep the chassis it’s still the original car and they don’t have to get it approved as a new build?
So they can use old vins and it doesnt have to build the car to the standards of a new one.
@@colinchapman3658 ooh that makes a lot of sense..
If you would have watched the video, you would have known they take regular 190's. Not Evo.
I’m actually noticing top gear presenters cut people off halfway let them talk man
Then edit it afterwards
This will always be at the top 5 of my dream cars🔥🔥
This car is out of this world💯🔥
That’s baddest looking Mercedes I’ve ever seen.
13:14 There is No humbleness here Just sheer RAW POWER....
i love restomods like this. they are just always soo expensive. but for good reason. you have to have a tremendous amount of money to spend 750k on something like this instead of buying a revuelto or something a lot faster, modern and more exotic.
But even that wouldn't be as unique as one of these. Great to see it side by side with the original inspiration.
0:25 dude has a name like trying to steal the vibe from christian von koenigsegg, gordon murray names.
For me, this is the ultimate supercar 😍
been waiting for someone to modernize the Evo 2 excited to track its development at HWA!
Лучший аппарат от Mercedes-Benz за всю историю этой немецкой автомобильной компании!!!❤
Guys, Great Job, Very Insightful. The car was very nice. This is the future, older cars modified to performance beasts. Future classics in an Electric world.
What a build - amazing 👍🏼👍🏼
LET THE MAN SPEAKK!!!
- HWA: "Don't call it a resto mod."
- Top Gear: "Welcome to the ultimate Mercedes resto mod!'
I would take one of these over any new AMG today
Absolute masterpiece
Ich würde mir wünschen das Ihr Fahrzeug bei Schöne Sterne am 24 bis 25.08.2024 in Hattingen präsentiert wird. Das ist das beste Event des Jahres für Mercedes Liebhaber.

190e Is the Game Changer of Automotive in 1980 and 1990
Lets hope they can build one for hill climb events - perhaps even Pikes Peak. This retro shape is far more appealing to the eye than majority of modern designed sports cars & very impractible supercars
Nice work. I'd love to see it with the M156 engine, that would be wild.
If I bought this car the first move it is getting the original headlights.
the merc v6 engine is actually a good sounding v6! Love it in the C43 AMG.
The things money can buy, that thing is cool wow!
This made himself feel at home 😂
He snatched they keys really quick of him
Oh wow, what a lovely masterpiece 😳👍🏼
Disk wheels for the win ❤
Gorgeous piece of machinery 🇩🇪
This is my Dream Car😍!
I was interested.... until he said £700,000. I do think it's a cool project.
The stance of the OG is way better. If they only had mated it with an M120 V12 engine the 700k pricetag is very much acceptable.
looks like those imo hideous cap screw widebody kits
I'm with you, I 100% prefer the original. BUT, the new one feels even more 80s excess than the original 😂
You know how big that engine is and how terribly front heavy the car would be as a result?
@@kraenk12 who invited common sense to the chat? 😂
Let the man finish a sentence.
