About the Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 EVO II W201 #78 Team AMG E. Lohr DTM 1991 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: This Minichamps 1:18 diecast reproduces E. Lohr's #78 Team AMG Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 EVO II from the 1991 DTM season. It shares the EVO II's homologation-driven aerodynamic package with sister cars from the same grid, in a different driver livery.

Team AMG ran multiple 190E EVO IIs through the 1991 season, and collecting several liveries side by side is a common way to build depth into a DTM display rather than chasing a single hero car.

Build Quality Across the Team AMG 190E Grid

This #78 casting shares the same underlying tooling as other 1991 Team AMG liveries in the range, so the flared arches, roof spoiler and front splitter that define the EVO II's homologation bodywork are identical across the grid, only the livery graphics change. Minichamps tampo prints the sponsor branding and Lohr's number 78 directly onto the body, a method that holds sharper edges than a decal transfer at this scale. Zinc alloy construction gives the model the weight expected from a 1:18 diecast, and panel gaps sit at the mid-tier standard, tight and consistent without the sealed precision resin would offer. Any opening bonnet or doors operate on straightforward hinges rather than elaborate mechanisms, in keeping with the model's accessible price point.

Building a Multi-Car 1991 DTM Grid

1991 sat at the aerodynamic peak of the DTM's Group A era, before regulation changes reined in the wilder homologation specials. Displaying several Team AMG liveries from the same season side by side recreates something of the actual grid variety collectors would have seen at a circuit that year, which is a genuinely satisfying way to use the format. Paired with sister cars like the #7 Thiim livery, this Lohr car builds toward that fuller picture rather than standing entirely alone, and the shared tooling means the build quality stays consistent across the group.
