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

TL;DR: This 1:18 Minichamps diecast reproduces the Karcher Mercedes 190E Evo 2 #11, raced by J. Laffite for Team Maas-Schons in the 1992 DTM. The body is a sealed one-piece casting. A distinctive Evo 2 livery for a German touring car display.

By 1992 the Evo 2's flared bodywork had become a fixture of the DTM grid, and this Maas-Schons entry brought former F1 driver J. Laffite into the category under Karcher sponsorship.

Model Construction and Finish

The zinc alloy body delivers a satisfying weight in the hand, the kind of density that immediately signals proper diecast tooling rather than a hollow promotional piece. Cast as a fixed one-piece shell, the Evo 2's dramatic box arches and towering rear wing sit as continuous surfaces without a hinge line disrupting the aerodynamic shape, letting Minichamps hold tight tolerances around the flared bodywork where a multi-part build would risk visible gaps. The Karcher livery's colour blocks separate cleanly under a display lamp, and the printed number 11 and sponsor decals hold their register at close inspection. The stance and wheel fitment capture the Evo 2's genuinely wide, aggressive footprint accurately.

Laffite's DTM Chapter

Jacques Laffite's move into DTM after a long Formula One career added a recognisable name to the Evo 2 grid, and this Maas-Schons entry represents that later phase of his motorsport career. Displayed alongside other Evo 2 liveries, the car highlights how the same wide-body chassis carried a broad range of sponsor colours through the category's most competitive seasons. With the body sealed, the model resists the wear hinged components introduce over time, keeping its shut lines and livery crisp for long-term display within a DTM or Mercedes motorsport collection.
