BREIF MODEL HISTORY
The original 190 E 2.5-16 of 1988 was Mercedes entry into the German Touring Car Championship (DTM). Its performance potential was limited by the long stroke 4 cylinder engine fitted. In order to be more competitive, for 1989 the race car designers created a new motor with a short stroke design and excellent potential for race tuning. In addition to the new motor various chassis and aero modifications were incorporated. This model was launched to the public as the 190 E 2.5-16 EVOLUTION 1, a street version homologation special of which only 502 examples were built. A distinctive paint finish in blue/black metallic set off the sporty lines. The look, feel and driving character was directly connected to the pure race versions.
