About the Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 EVO I W201 #60 Team AMG Mercedes K. Wendlinger DTM 1990 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 Evolution I #60 reproduces Karl Wendlinger's Team AMG Mercedes car from the 1990 DTM season. Built as a homologation special, the Evolution I gave Mercedes the aerodynamic tools needed to fight BMW's M3 head-on.

Touring car homologation battles produced some genuinely aggressive road cars, and the 190E Evolution I's boxy addenda tell that story before any race result even enters the conversation.

Evolution-Specific Bodywork Reproduced Carefully

Minichamps holds the Evo I's distinctive front splitter, boxed arches and rear spoiler sharply defined, details that separated it visually from the standard 190E saloon it was based on. The Team AMG livery sits crisply across the bodywork, and panel gaps around the doors and boot stay tight at 1:18. Wendlinger's number 60 sits correctly positioned on the doors, and the model's wider track and lower stance reflect the genuine aerodynamic upgrades Mercedes needed to homologate for DTM competition.

A Rising Driver in a Homologation Battle

Karl Wendlinger drove for Team AMG Mercedes during a period when the marque needed every homologation advantage available to match BMW's M3 on DTM grids. The Evolution I represented an early step in an aerodynamic arms race that would escalate further with subsequent Evolution models. For a DTM or AMG-themed shelf, this diecast captures a genuine moment in that ongoing manufacturer rivalry, worth pairing with contemporary M3 liveries from the same competitive seasons.
