Tamiya welcomes another racing car – this time, the Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5-16 EVO II 1991 – paired with our popular TT-02 chassis. This car took part in the German Touring Car Championship (DTM) in 1991. Based upon the compact Mercedes-Benz 190 E, it was given improved aerodynamics with components such as over fenders, front and rear spoilers and a large rear wing, and employed a 2.5-litre inline-4 DOHC engine capable of 340hp. In the same year, the works team car sponsored by German beer brand König Pilsener secured second place in the Championship and brought the Manufacturer’s Championship to Mercedes-Benz.

About the Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5-16 EVO II

The German Touring Car racing series known as DTM began its roots in 1984 with significant rule changes over the decades. In the early 1990’s interest in the series reached elevated levels as Mercedes Benz battled arch rival BMW among other brands for on-track supremacy. During DTM’s championship contention, Mercedes introduced 190 E 2.5-16 EVO II in 1991. Based upon the compact Mercedes-Benz 190 E, it was given improved aerodynamics with components such as over fenders, front and rear spoilers and a large rear wing, and employed a 2.5-litre inline-4 DOHC engine capable of 340hp. In the same year, the works team car sponsored by German beer brand König Pilsener secured second place in the Championship and brought the Manufacturer’s Championship to Mercedes-Benz.
