About the Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 EVO I W201 #17 Team MS-Jet J. van Ommen DTM 1990 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Mercedes 190E EVO I reproduces Jan van Ommen's #17 Team MS-Jet DTM entry from 1990. As the earlier of the two 190E homologation specials, the EVO I carries a less extreme aero package than its EVO II successor, and this privateer livery documents the model's independent-team side of the DTM.

Before the EVO II arrived, the original EVO I was Mercedes' first attempt at homologating extra aerodynamics onto the 190E, and privateer teams like MS-Jet ran it competitively alongside the factory squad.

Distinguishing the EVO I From Its Successor

The EVO I carries a smaller rear wing and less flared arches than the EVO II that followed a year later, and getting that distinction right in tooling matters to anyone building a chronological 190E display. Minichamps renders the EVO I's more modest aero package accurately rather than borrowing the later car's larger wing, keeping the panel lines and wheel arch flares proportioned to this earlier specification. The MS-Jet livery's sponsor graphics are printed with clean registration across the doors and hood, holding up the same standard as the factory Team AMG liveries from the same seasons. The car's ride height and stance match its homologated spec, and the diecast body carries the weight and panel definition consistent with the rest of this touring car range.

The Privateer Side of the DTM Grid

Team MS-Jet represents the independent teams that filled out DTM grids alongside factory efforts from AMG and its manufacturer rivals, and van Ommen's #17 entry documents that less glamorous but essential part of the series. For a collector who already has factory EVO II liveries, adding an EVO I privateer car fills out both the technical timeline, showing the homologation step before the EVO II, and the competitive depth of a grid that depended on privateer entries to reach full strength. Displayed together, the two generations make the visual difference between them, wing size, arch flare, immediately clear on the shelf.
