Product Description
- As Mercedes-Benz aimed to expand its vehicle lineup with models such as the large S-Class, the mid-sized E-Class, and the two-door sports car SL-Class, the 190E, a compact model with a 2-liter engine and a body compact enough to fit within Japan's compact car frame (5-number frame), debuted in 1982.
- Although it is small in size, its mechanism and construction are said to be comparable to that of the mid-sized E-Class, and it has received extremely high praise for its simplicity and robustness, typical of Mercedes-Benz.
- In Japan, it seems to have been popular among celebrities as a second car for the wealthy.
- Initially, the car was only available as a 2-liter model for family use, but later, versions with increased displacement were released, and in 1986, sports grades were introduced, such as the 2.3-16, which was equipped with a 2.3-liter, 4-cylinder DOHC engine modified by Cosworth, a British racing car engine manufacturer, and its increased displacement version, the 2.5-16, and were certified for DTM (German Touring Car Championship) and FIA Group A standards.
- Hot Wheels' motif is the most powerful version, the Evolution II, of which 500 were produced in 1990. Key features include over fenders and a huge rear wing to accommodate the large wheels and wide tires.
- This time it has a ZAMAC (zinc-plated coating) finish, giving it a hard-edged feel that is typical of German cars.
