About the Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 W201 EVO 2 Karcher #11 J. Laffite Team Maas-Schons DTM 1992 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Mercedes 190E EVO 2 reproduces the Karcher #11 entry for Jacques Laffite and Team Maas-Schons in the 1992 DTM season. The body is a sealed one-piece shell. A late-generation 190E livery for a DTM display.

By 1992 the EVO 2 was reaching the end of its competitive DTM life, and Jacques Laffite's participation brought genuine Formula 1 pedigree to a touring car grid in its final peak years.

Fixed-Shell Diecast of the EVO 2

The zinc alloy body is a single fixed casting, holding the EVO 2's dramatic flared arches and rear wing as molded features rather than assembled parts, which keeps their edges crisp and their fit consistent around the wheel wells. The Karcher livery's decal work is tampo-printed onto the shell, and at 1:18 the print carries enough resolution to keep sponsor branding sharp on both sides of the car. This construction approach is standard for a diecast subject of this complexity and price tier, giving the model the weight and stance a late-era DTM car needs without the added cost of hinged assembly.

Jacques Laffite's Touring Car Chapter

Laffite, a race winner and multiple podium finisher in Formula 1 through the late 1970s and 1980s, moved into touring cars later in his career, and his time with Team Maas-Schons in DTM's 190E EVO 2 era is a lesser-known chapter for collectors who mostly track his single-seater results. Displayed within a DTM lineup rather than a Formula 1 collection, this livery adds a name recognizable from a different discipline entirely, giving a broader collection an unexpected connective thread between motorsport categories.
