About the Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 EVO II W201 #12 Team Mass Schons J. van Ommen DTM 1992 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: This 1:18 Minichamps Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 EVO II reproduces J. van Ommen's #12 Team Mass Schons entry from the 1992 DTM season. Diecast construction and period-accurate sponsor graphics make it a strong addition to a Group A touring car or DTM-themed display.

The EVO II's boxed wheel arches and rear wing were homologation necessities, not styling flourishes, and Minichamps' recreation of the Team Mass Schons livery captures that purposeful aggression in miniature.

Reproducing a 1992 DTM Livery in Diecast

The 190E EVO II's flared arches and rear wing are cast into the zinc-alloy body rather than added as separate parts on this diecast piece, which keeps the aggressive homologation silhouette intact without fragile add-ons. Sponsor decals for Team Mass Schons need to wrap cleanly around those flared arches, and Minichamps' tampo application generally handles that curvature without visible seams or bubbling. The number 12 and driver markings should sit crisp against the base livery, since DTM cars of this era carried dense sponsor graphics that reward close inspection. Diecast doors typically open on this casting, revealing a simplified cockpit that nods to the stripped-out race interior without attempting full harness and roll-cage detail. The wheels and boxed arches together define the EVO II's stance more than any single paint detail.

The EVO II's Place in DTM History

The 190E 2.5-16 EVO II was Mercedes' homologation special built to meet Group A rules for the DTM's most competitive era, and its flared bodywork exists purely because the racing regulations demanded a production basis for those wide tires and aerodynamic aids. J. van Ommen's 1992 season with Team Mass Schons places this specific livery within that competitive field rather than as a generic tribute car. At 1:18, the model runs close to 20cm, compact enough to group several EVO II liveries from different seasons and teams on one shelf, which is exactly how DTM collectors tend to build their displays: by season and team rather than by a single hero car.
