About the Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 EVO 1 W201 Team MS-Jet #4 R. Asch DTM 1989 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: This Minichamps 1:18 diecast reproduces the Team MS-Jet Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 EVO 1, driven by R. Asch during the 1989 DTM season. Diecast construction captures the W201's aggressive EVO bodywork, built to homologate Mercedes' touring car aerodynamics.

The EVO 1's boxy arch extensions and rear spoiler existed purely to satisfy racing homologation, and this MS-Jet livery shows the resulting shape doing exactly the job it was built for on track.

Diecast Precision on a Homologation Special

Minichamps holds the EVO 1's flared arches and boxy rear wing accurately at 1:18, a distinct silhouette from the standard W201 saloon that any serious 190E collector will want reproduced correctly. The MS-Jet sponsor livery is printed onto the diecast body, keeping the numbering and lettering along the doors sharp rather than prone to the lifting edges a decal scheme risks. Zinc-alloy construction gives the model genuine weight, and the wheel and brake detailing reads as properly race-specification. Panel gaps sit at a fair mid-tier standard throughout the bonnet and boot lines.

Building a 190E DTM Grid on One Shelf

The 1989 DTM season fielded a dense field of these EVO 1 touring cars, and this MS-Jet entry pairs naturally with sibling liveries from the same championship year to recreate that grid variety on a single shelf. The saloon's compact footprint suits standard cabinet spacing well. Kept out of strong direct light, the printed sponsor graphics resist fading far better than an adhesive scheme, worth noting given how heavily this livery relies on team colour blocks.
