Built for the Nordschleife. Ready for 24 hours.
Built for the track on which it was created. Every lap, every competitor, every victory shapes its character. Time changes many things—but not what it stands for.
The HWA EVO.R is more than a race car. It combines over 50 years of motorsport development with modern endurance performance—developed to OEM customer racing standards and validated under real racing conditions.
Now, the HWA EVO.R is ready for its next deployment.
Highlights
More than just a race car.
60 Years of Motorsports. 15 Vehicles.
The HWA EVO.R combines decades of racing development at the OEM customer racing level with modern endurance performance and real-world race testing on the Nordschleife. Developed under real 24-hour race conditions. Built to factory standards. Limited to 15 cars worldwide.
Developed to meet the highest standards.
Architecture, safety systems, durability, and vehicle operation follow the same development principles as professional OEM customer racing programs. Consistently designed for performance under extreme conditions—without compromising reliability or operational readiness.
Built for the job.
The HWA EVO.R was designed for real-world conditions: long distances, high temperatures, changing conditions, and consistent vehicle performance over hours on end. Testing and further development take place where performance can be measured—on the track.
24-HOUR TEST.
The Nordschleife is not merely a backdrop, but an integral part of the development process. Insights gained from testing and long-distance use are directly incorporated into vehicle tuning, durability, and system performance. Developed under conditions that leave no room for error.
Technology with a clear purpose.
The HWA EVO.R combines professional motorsport technology with a vehicle concept designed for streamlined operations in real-world use. Operation, maintenance, and service follow motorsport-oriented principles—developed for efficient operation on and off the track, including in international customer use.
FROM THE HWA EVO TO THE HWA EVO.R.
The HWA EVO.R builds on the technical foundation of the HWA EVO and further refines its design specifically for track use. More performance. More aerodynamics. More durability. Designed for use under real racing conditions.
