Mercedes-Benz 190 D
(1982 - 1993)
Car articles about Mercedes-Benz 190 D by year
Normally, nobody in motorsport is interested in the runner-up. Especially not at a short show race without any championship reference somewhere in the German provinces. But when Mercedes-Benz gathers 20 motorsport celebrities at the Nürburgring, even the first loser is sure to attract attention. This article tells the story of the car in which Niki Lauda finished second in the inaugural race of the new Grand Prix circuit in 1984 - behind a young Brazilian who was barely known at the time.
In 2013, the Mercedes Benz 190 E 2.3-16, the sportiest version of the "Baby Benz", will be thirty years old. Reason enough to once again get behind the wheel of this niche model, which also caused a sensation in the German Touring Car Championship. This vehicle report tells the story of the sixteen-valve model of the W 201 series and shows it in extensive historical and current photo material.
From 1982 to 1993, Mercedes-Benz built the 190 model of the W201 series. With over 1.8 million units produced, the new compact class was a success. At the top end was the elegant 2.6-liter version, which was fitted with the in-line six-cylinder engine from the larger model series. The superior running culture almost transformed the "Baby Benz" into a luxury saloon. This vehicle report describes the driving impressions and history of the six-cylinder 190 variant and shows it in current and historical pictures.
In 1992, Mercedes-Benz won the German Touring Car Championship with the 190E 2.5-16 model. However, before this could happen, the company in Sindelfingen had to do a lot of fine-tuning and add two limited-production evolution models to the "normal" 2.5-16, which are now sought after by collectors and loved by sports drivers. This report goes into the history of the Evolution models and shows an Evo I in detail, including a sound sample and sales brochure.
