About the Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 Evo II #9 K. Ludwig Macau GP 3rd Place 1991 AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 Evo II #9 carries Klaus Ludwig's 1991 Macau GP livery, with opening doors, hood and trunk. This is a used model; the box shows traces of storage, the casting itself intact. A touring-car icon from the DTM's homologation era.

The Evo II was Mercedes-Benz's answer to touring car regulations that demanded outrageous aerodynamics on a road-legal shell, and Klaus Ludwig drove it hard on the streets of Macau.

AUTOart's Construction of the Race-Spec 190E

The diecast body carries real weight in the hand, and the doors, hood and trunk all open to reveal the stripped cabin, roll cage and racing seat that separated this Evo II from its road-going cousin. Panels settle where released rather than dropping shut, which matters on a subject whose deep front splitter and towering rear wing are as much the story as the cockpit. The livery is printed rather than painted-on decal guesswork, and the sponsor graphics and race number sit sharp against the body finish, a detail that matters more on touring cars than on plain road subjects. This is a used model, and the box shows traces of storage; the casting itself carries no separate condition flag, so the model is worth judging on arrival rather than assuming pristine.

The 190E Evo II and the Macau Guia Race

Mercedes built the Evo II specifically to homologate the aerodynamic package DTM regulations required, and the result looked almost cartoonish beside a standard 190E while remaining road-legal by the letter of the rules. Klaus Ludwig, one of the era's most successful touring car drivers, took the #9 car to third place at the 1991 Macau Guia Race, a street circuit that punished any car without genuine chassis balance. That result places this specific livery among the more collectible Evo II liveries rather than a generic team color.

A Touring Car Anchor for a DTM Shelf

This model works best alongside other Group A and DTM-era touring cars, where the aerodynamic excess of the period reads as a shared visual language across brands.
