From silently working behind the scenes, to building their own car from the ground up, today we're going for a full exploration of the HWA EVO; including a factory tour and first drive! Hosted by Gordian von Schöning, HWA's CTO, we'll discover everything from development, and engines, to production. The HWA EVO is not just a restomod 190 E, it's a total ground up project based on an icon, modernised for the current day. Being based in Affalterbach, HWA was created by the original founder of AMG, and now sits encompassed by the Mercedes performance division, with many years of experience building their race cars and managing customer racing programmes. Today's tour kicks off at HWA HQ with some background on the company, and a look at the immense trophy cabinets that demonstrate their motorsport success. We'll move through many areas of the company before arriving at the prototype cars and an opportunity to go out for a first drive to understand what it's about. Thank you to Gordi, Alex, Jens and the HWA team for their hospitality and opportunity to share this visit. Thanks for watching!

Amazing to see the HWA EVO being built!
Just when I’m starting to get a bit bored with my modern classics I watch this and feel re-inspired to get out and drive them.
The 190 is still the coolest Merc ever!
saw this car at the Nurburgring 24 hours and it looked spectacular
Ordering one of those EVO's shmee? But amazing vid, was glued to the screen enjoying German top enginering.
What a stunning car, true to the original but yet so different, it would be great if you added one to the collection
나의 드림카 너무 멋있습니다
Santa, I've been good.
Amazing dream car
Tim great video its so cool you got to go there and film this at HWA !!!
the red one in the back, i want that one :-D
Gordian is the best.
that whole place looks cleaner than my nearby clinic
HWA may have taken the Singer DLS spot as most desirable, 24hr pedigree is something special, what a company, Thanks.
For me the 190E DTM EVO, was the coolest car on the racetrack! Schmee, you need the EVO R, this eis hotter for me that a SF800… or fancy XX version from Ferrari. Since has been the most,comprehensive and catching,Cordero form you,in a longtime.
Great video 😊
I want mine in red and right hand drive 😮
That is the most interesting car that I have seen for a long time!
Tim this was just simply great video, back to the best of factory tours of the niche manufacturers! What HWA is doing is just amazing, especially their "RESTOMOD" EVO 190E - something like this would definitely look greet in your collection next to Black Series!
What an impressive Company HWA is. I really enjoyed watching this one. Nice people aswell.
