About the Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 Evo 2 W201 #22 MS Kärcher Schmickler DTM 1990 Minichamps 1:43
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 Mercedes 190E Evo 2, #22 in the MS Kärcher Schmickler 1990 DTM livery, is a sealed-body diecast of one of Mercedes' most extreme touring car homologation specials. This is a used model with a box showing traces of storage. Its wide flared arches and towering rear wing reflect the aerodynamic extremes DTM allowed by 1990.
The Evo 2's flared bodywork and enormous rear wing were homologation requirements as much as styling choices, born from a touring car category that let manufacturers push aerodynamics far beyond anything road-legal 190E buyers would have expected.
A Sealed-Body Diecast of a Homologation Extreme
The casting is a fixed one-piece shell, so the Evo 2's dramatic flared arches, front splitter, and towering rear wing are all cast into a single continuous form rather than assembled from separate parts. Scribed lines stand in for panel seams, keeping the aggressive bodywork's silhouette tight and accurate rather than softened by opening-panel tolerances. The #22 livery reproduces period sponsor graphics and Mercedes competition colors with clean edges, a genuine test of tampo printing at 1:43 given how much text and detail the real car's bodywork carried. A sealed body suits a race casting like this well, since the aerodynamic shape is the whole point.
Fitting a DTM Legend into a Racing Lineup
At roughly 10cm, this 190E sits easily among other 1:43 touring car castings, and its 1990 DTM provenance gives it real standing in a German touring car theme, a season widely regarded as the series' technical peak before cost controls scaled the cars back. This is a used example, and its box shows traces of storage; the casting and its livery remain sound. Grouped with other Evo 2 liveries from the same season, this piece lets a collector trace how differently sponsors and teams dressed an identical, extreme homologation shape.
For DTM enthusiasts, this is a compact but historically substantial piece.
