Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5 16V (W201) SPRZEDANY

Mercedes 190E 2.3-16, together with it’s more powerful brother (both nicknamed “Cosworth”) were the result of collaboration between Mercedes-Benz and famous, British engineering company. It was Cosworth that took the standard, 8-valve, 2.3 liter engine, modernized it and made it better. This platform became the base for the DTM race cars of the era.  

In 1988 Mercedes created the 190 E 2.5-16 with it’s distinctive aerodynamic bodykit, lowered suspension and trademark wheels. Still, it is not the look, but the mechanical components of the car that makes it special. 16 valve 195 PS engine can bring the lightweight Baby-Benz up to speed of 235 kilometers per hour. The self leveling Nivo suspension was installed on the rear axle.   Nowadays the car became a rare track-toy made in the number of 5743 units. It is a collectors special, not only for the Mercedes-Benz enthusiast.  

The car was produced for the Spanish market, where it’s first owner was a former lead manager of one of the Moto GP teams. The second and last owner of the car was a Pole, who devoted over 50 000 zlotys to the car’s engine restoration. The paint of the car was restored and covered with the ceramic sheel. It is a damage-free vehicle. This particular example, comes from the first manufacture year of the 190 E 2.5 16V. Equipped with original AMG Monoblock wheels, 5-speed, “dogleg” manual gearbox and checkered seats (that were also restored) will make it possible for the future car owner to travel back in time to the golden era of 80’s racing.
