About the Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 EVO II W201 #8 Zung Fu E. Lohr Guia Race Macau 1992 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: This Minichamps 1:18 diecast reproduces E. Lohr's #8 Zung Fu Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 EVO II from the 1992 Guia Race in Macau. It represents the EVO II's competitive reach beyond DTM, into one of Asia's best-known street circuit touring car events.

The Guia Race gave European touring car machinery a genuinely different stage, a tight street circuit rather than a purpose-built track, and this Zung Fu-liveried EVO II carried that DTM pedigree into an entirely different racing culture.

Capturing a Regional Livery in 1:18 Diecast

The underlying casting shares the EVO II's familiar flared arches and aerodynamic package with its DTM-liveried siblings, so what distinguishes this piece is the Zung Fu branding, printed tampo-style for crisp edges rather than as a decal. Zinc alloy construction gives the model the same reassuring weight expected across this range, and panel gaps hold to the consistent mid-tier standard across the bonnet and doors. Lohr's number 8 is positioned per the original livery, and the wheel and tyre package matches the wide, low stance that made the EVO II so effective on both European circuits and Macau's tighter street layout.

The Guia Race's Place in Touring Car History

Macau's Guia Race has long attracted European and Asian touring car talent to a demanding street circuit unlike anything on the DTM calendar, and EVO IIs racing there in the early 1990s reflect how far the car's competitive reputation travelled beyond its German homologation origins. For a collector building a touring car theme around the 190E specifically, gathering DTM and Guia Race liveries side by side tells a more complete story of the model's international reach than DTM cars alone would manage. This piece works well as that broadening element in an otherwise Europe-focused 190E collection.
