1 / 8
AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 Evo II recreates Klaus Ludwig's #9 car from the 1991 Macau Guia Race, a signature touring car battleground of the DTM era. This used example has opening doors, bonnet and boot; the box shows traces of storage while the model itself is unaffected. A strong subject for a Mercedes or touring car theme.

About the Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 Evo II #9 K. Ludwig Macau GP 3rd Place 1991 AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 Evo II reproduces Klaus Ludwig's #9 Macau GP 1991 entry, third-place finisher on the famous Guia circuit. Doors, bonnet and boot open on this used model; the box carries traces of storage, the casting itself intact. A genuine touring car subject from Mercedes' Evo II homologation programme.

The Evo II was Mercedes' aerodynamic answer to touring car regulations, and its street-legal wing and skirts made the racing version instantly recognisable on grids across Europe and Macau alike.

How AUTOart Renders the 190E Evo II

This diecast carries the metal weight collectors associate with AUTOart's touring car range, a solidity that suits a subject built around aggressive wide-arch bodywork and a prominent rear wing. Opening doors, bonnet and boot expose the roll cage and stripped cabin beneath that wing, and the bonnet reveals the four-cylinder engine bay detail relevant to a homologation special. Panel gaps sit at typical diecast width rather than resin's tighter tolerance, a fair exchange for the interior access this subject rewards. The Macau livery, with its sponsor decals and #9 roundel, is applied with clean registration, and the Evo II's distinctive aero addenda are moulded with sharp definition. As a used piece the box shows the traces of storage the field states; the casting itself presents the livery cleanly.

Where the 190E Evo II Sits in a Touring Car Collection

Macau's Guia Race carried outsized prestige for touring cars in this period, drawing top DTM drivers to a street circuit that punished mistakes, and a Ludwig entry from that grid is a genuinely specific piece of that history rather than a generic livery choice. This model sits well beside other early-1990s DTM subjects, particularly BMW and Mercedes rivals from the same seasons, where the wing and skirt treatments make an instructive visual contrast on a shelf. The opening panels matter here: a touring car's stripped interior and roll cage are part of what distinguishes the racer from the road-going Evo II, and a collector comparing this to a sealed resin alternative should weigh that access against the tighter shutlines resin would offer instead.
