About the Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 W201 EVO 2 Debis #18 F. Giroix Team Zackspeed DTM 1991 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: This 1:18 Minichamps diecast reproduces the Debis Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 Evo 2 #18, raced by F. Giroix for Team Zackspeed in the 1991 DTM. The body is a sealed one-piece casting. A period-accurate anchor for a German touring car shelf.

The Evo 2 was Mercedes' answer to the aerodynamic arms race that defined early-1990s DTM, and this Zackspeed entry shows the Debis livery that ran through the 1991 season.

How Minichamps Casts the 190E Evo 2

The zinc alloy body carries genuine weight in the hand, a density that signals metal construction the moment the model leaves its packaging. Because the shell is a fixed one-piece casting, the Evo 2's aggressive aerodynamic addenda, the deep front splitter, box wheel arches and towering rear wing, are all moulded as a single continuous form rather than fitted as separate parts. That approach lets the tolerances stay tight around the wing supports and arch flares, areas that would show visible seams on a multi-part build. The Debis livery's colour blocks read crisply under direct light, with the tampo-printed sponsor decals sitting flat against the bodywork rather than raised or misaligned. At this tier the panel gaps run a touch wider than resin alternatives, an honest trade for the metal's durability and the model's accessible price point.

DTM Context and Display Value

The Evo 2's flared bodywork was built to legalise the aerodynamic package Mercedes needed to compete against Audi and BMW through the early 1990s, and the shape alone tells that story without needing extra context. This Zackspeed car sits naturally alongside other Evo 2 liveries from the period, letting a collector build a season-spanning DTM display where the wing and splitter geometry stays constant but the sponsor colours change car to car. With the body sealed, there is nothing to hinge or loosen, so it holds its finish through repeated repositioning on a shelf. Grouped by season or by team, the Evo 2's boxy silhouette anchors a touring car collection well.
