About the Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 EVO I W201 #60 Team AMG Mercedes K. Wendlinger DTM 1990 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast reproduces Karl Wendlinger's #60 AMG Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 EVO I from the 1990 DTM season. A homologation-special touring car built to challenge BMW's M3 in one of DTM's most closely fought manufacturer rivalries.
The 190E Evo I marked Mercedes' serious return to touring car homologation battles, and Wendlinger's DTM entry captures that effort directly.
Diecast Detail on a Homologation Special
The Evo I's distinctive aerodynamic addenda, a subtle front splitter and rear spoiler, give Minichamps genuine shape detail to work with at 1:18, distinguishing it clearly from a standard 190E road car. The AMG Mercedes livery's sponsor graphics require sharp, clean tampo printing across the car's flat panels, and the diecast build carries enough weight to feel substantial. Opening doors are typical at this scale, revealing a roll-caged racing interior appropriate to a factory-backed DTM entry.
Wendlinger, AMG, and the Evo I's DTM Rivalry
Karl Wendlinger drove for AMG Mercedes during a period when the 190E Evo I was Mercedes' answer to BMW's dominant M3 in DTM, part of an intense manufacturer rivalry that defined the championship's competitive character in the early 1990s. Mercedes built the Evo I specifically to meet Group A homologation requirements, mirroring BMW's own approach with the M3, which makes the two cars natural companions in any DTM-focused collection. Wendlinger would go on to a broader motorsport career, giving this early DTM entry added interest for collectors following his trajectory.
Displayed alongside a period M3 E30, this 190E Evo I completes one of DTM's defining manufacturer rivalries on a single shelf.
