About the Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 EVO II W201 #78 Team AMG E. Lohr DTM 1991 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Mercedes 190E EVO II reproduces Ellen Lohr's #78 Team AMG DTM entry from 1991. The homologation special's flared arches and wing package are captured accurately, a strong pairing with other factory EVO II liveries from the same season.
Team AMG ran multiple EVO IIs across the 1991 grid, and the #78 car adds a distinct number and driver identity to a season already well documented in diecast form.
Casting Consistency Across a Multi-Car Team Entry
When a manufacturer fields several near-identical liveries in one season, the challenge for a diecast producer is keeping tooling consistent so the cars display believably as teammates rather than mismatched castings. Minichamps' EVO II liveries share the same body tooling, panel gaps, and wheel proportions across the range, so the #78 sits correctly beside sister cars from the same team. The wide box arches and roof spoiler are rendered with the same crisp edges seen across the line, and the printed graphics register cleanly on the door panels and wing endplates, where sponsor decals from this era carried dense, detailed artwork. Doors typically open to reveal a simplified roll cage interior appropriate to the tier, and the ride height matches the EVO II's homologated stance.
Building a Team AMG Grid
Collecting multiple liveries from the same Team AMG season is one of the more satisfying ways to display this generation of DTM diecast: the shared chassis and consistent tooling mean a row of EVO IIs from 1991 reads as a genuine grid rather than an assortment of unrelated race cars. Lohr's #78 car adds a specific driver identity to that grouping, useful for anyone building a DTM display around driver lineups rather than just manufacturer liveries. At 1:18, the EVO II's aggressive wing and splitter give real shelf presence, and a full team's worth of cars from one season makes for a strong focal display in a touring car collection.
