About the Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 EVO 1 W201 Team MS-Jet #5 M. Reuter DTM 1989 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 EVO 1 recreates Manuel Reuter's Team MS-Jet #5 entry from the 1989 DTM season. Zinc-alloy build with period team livery, sized for German touring car and Mercedes motorsport displays.

Manuel Reuter's career would later include a Le Mans overall win, but his 1989 DTM season with Team MS-Jet came while he was still establishing himself in top-level German touring car competition.

Reuter's Early DTM Years With Team MS-Jet

Manuel Reuter's #5 entry ran alongside teammate Roland Asch's #4 car, giving Team MS-Jet a genuine two-car assault on the 1989 DTM season. The 190E EVO 1's homologated aerodynamic package, developed specifically to counter BMW's evolving E30 M3, gave Mercedes a competitive foothold in a championship increasingly defined by manufacturer-backed aero development rather than raw engine output. Reuter's later career achievements, including major international sports car success, add retrospective interest to this earlier chapter, when he was still building the reputation that would carry him to that later success. This livery documents that specific developmental period in his career.

Diecast Detail on the EVO 1's Aero Package

The zinc-alloy body carries genuine weight, clearly heavier than comparable plastic toy construction, an immediate signal of diecast quality. Expect opening doors on functional hinges, showing a simplified roll-caged cockpit consistent with Group A rules. Team livery is tampo-printed, holding sharper detail over years of display than adhesive decals would. Panel gaps run a touch wider than sealed resin construction, an honest trait of hinged diecast rather than a flaw specific to this piece. The EVO 1's flared arches and rear wing translate dramatically at 1:18.

A Teammate Pairing for a DTM Shelf

Displayed alongside the #4 MS-Jet car, this model recreates the full team lineup from a single competitive DTM season, a satisfying pairing for Mercedes touring car collectors.
