Built for the Road and Track

The chassis, equipped with self-leveling suspension and Brembo brakes, provides unmatched handling. The revolutionary aerodynamic kit, with its wide fenders, adjustable front splitter, and iconic rear wing, not only defined the EVO II’s appearance but also set a new standard in motorsport aerodynamics.

Developed in collaboration with Cosworth Engineering and AMG, the EVO II is a true motorsport icon. It dominated the DTM, securing consecutive constructors’ titles in 1991 and 1992. Its aggressive aero kit and refined engineering made it an instant classic. BMW’s Head of Research, Wolfgang Reitzle, famously remarked, “If that rear wing works, we’ll have to redesign our wind tunnel.”
