In 2023 we shared the unique 1989 Mercedes 190E Evo tribute built by Dom Tucci at Tucci Hot Rods in Marcy, New York. Under the hood Dom swapped a twin-turbocharged 3.5L EcoBoost (D35) V6 from a Ford Raptor. Thanks to upgraded BorgWarner EFR6758 turbochargers, the motor produces 700 hp (514 kW). Behind the V6 is a Quicktime bellhousing, ACT twin-disc clutch, Bowler Carbon Edition Tremec TKX five-speed manual transmission, and Subaru STI differential. To help control the power Dom installed Wilwood Superlite six-piston calipers with 14-inch rotors in front and Superlite four-piston calipers with 13-inch rotors in back. Listen to Dom explain how he built the car to Rob Dahm from Top Gear in the video below.
