1990 Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2. 5-16V Cosworth
Wonderful original 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2. 5-16V Cosworth in Blue-Black metallic with a 5-speed manual transmission and only 196, 381 kilometers on the odometer. The car is an excellent cosmetic and mechanic condition. A true German automotive icon designed and developed with help of Cosworth for racing in the German Turing Car Championship. Due to their performance, the 16-valve cars were different from the other 190 models. The body kit on the 2. 5-16 reduced the drag coefficient and reduced lift at speed. The steering ratio was quicker and the steering wheel smaller than that on other 190s, whilst the fuel tank was enlarged from 55 to 70 L. The Getrag 5-speed manual gearbox was unique to the 16-valve and featured a dog-leg change pattern, shifting down and left for first. An oil cooler was fitted to ensure sufficient oil cooling for the inevitable track use many of these cars were destined for. At the inauguration of the new, shorter Nürburgring in 1984, a race with identical cars was held, with former and current F1 drivers at the wheel. A then-unknown Ayrton Senna took first place.
The car has a Danish title and registration and full inspection and service in-house assure that this motorsport icon and be enjoyed as-is for many years to come.
