Mercedes Benz 190E 2.5 16V W201 (1989)

Kickdown's Take
by Moritz HelbichWith its 16-valve engine developed by Cosworth, the 190E 2.5 16V is the sportiest model in the W201 series and is closely associated with the golden age of the DTM. Over the past 20 years, tens of thousands of euros have been invested in this German example in Astral Silver Metallic, including a complete overhaul of the underbody, chassis, and suspension, as well as a partially rebuilt engine. A folder full of invoices, a recent service, and TÜV certification valid through 2027 round out the picture. The 16V models, in particular, are among the most sought-after 190s and have appreciated significantly in value.
