About the Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 EVO 1 W201 Team MS-Jet #4 R. Asch DTM 1989 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 EVO 1 recreates Roland Asch's Team MS-Jet #4 entry from the 1989 DTM season. Zinc-alloy build with period team livery, sized for German touring car and Mercedes motorsport displays.

The 190E EVO 1 gave Mercedes a genuine DTM contender against BMW's established M3, and Roland Asch's consistent presence on the grid made him one of the model's more recognizable factory-adjacent drivers.

Asch and Team MS-Jet's 1989 DTM Season

Roland Asch drove for Mercedes-affiliated touring car teams across much of the DTM's most competitive years, and his time with Team MS-Jet came as the 190E EVO 1's aerodynamic package was proving its worth against BMW's E30 M3. The EVO 1's revised bodywork, including a distinctive rear wing and flared arches, was homologated specifically to keep pace with the M3's evolution, turning the DTM into an escalating aerodynamic arms race between the two German manufacturers. This specific livery ties the model to one team's season within that broader rivalry, giving collectors a documented entry point into Mercedes' side of the DTM story.

Diecast Construction of a DTM Contender

The zinc-alloy body carries real weight, clearly denser than comparable plastic toy construction, a straightforward signal of genuine diecast quality. Expect opening doors on functional hinges, revealing a simplified roll-caged cockpit true to Group A specification. Team livery is applied through tampo printing, holding sharper detail over years of display than adhesive decals. Panel gaps run a touch wider than sealed resin construction, an honest characteristic of hinged diecast rather than a flaw specific to this piece. The EVO 1's flared arches and rear wing scale dramatically at 1:18.

Building Out a DTM Rivalry Shelf

This 190E works best alongside contemporary BMW M3 E30 entries, letting a collector recreate the defining Mercedes-BMW DTM battles of the late 1980s.
