The track

Over 20 kilometres of tarmac, 73 bends, 300 metres of elevation gain. Since 1927, the Nürburgring’s Nordschleife has been the toughest test motorsport has to offer. No wonder it’s called the Green Hell.

The race

In the 24-hour race, sheer speed is not enough. To win, you need strategy, concentration and the absolute determination to give your all, day and night.

The SP-X class

The HWA EVO.R competes in the SP-X class, the premier class for experimental vehicles. These are based on production models and unleash their true potential on the racetrack.

The icon returns

The HWA EVO.R is not a reinvention; it is a return from the early 90s. Based on the iconic 190E Evo II, it combines precise racing DNA with the promise of an extraordinary driving experience.

From the 90s for eternity

The HWA EVO.R embodies the spirit of the early 90s, just like PARKSIDE. Two icons from an era sharing a common path: the toughest race track in the world.

Pushing the limits together

Just as the HWA EVO.R runs on four wheels, it needs four drivers who work as a single unit. Everyone gives their all; everyone trusts the others. That’s the only way to win a 24-hour race.
