Description: Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16V (1991) – Manual Transmission Homologation Special The Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16V is one of the most iconic sports sedans ever produced by the brand with the star. As a direct evolution of the original 2.3-16 Cosworth, this 2.5-litre version was developed to take on the legendary BMW M3 E30 in the German DTM racing championship. The example presented here dates from the very last year of production, 1991, and is equipped with the highly sought-after five-speed manual gearbox with dog-leg shift pattern, where first gear is positioned bottom-left. Designed with sporty driving in mind, this setup is now highly prized among purists. Most collectors prefer this manual transmission over the optional automatic due to its more engaging driving experience and rarity. Under the bonnet lies the naturally aspirated 2.5-litre 16-valve Cosworth four-cylinder engine, producing 204 hp. Paired with a limited-slip differential and the tactile feel of a manual gearbox, it offers an analogue and authentic driving sensation that has become increasingly rare in the modern automotive world. Factory-equipped with Recaro bucket seats, a sport steering wheel, widened bumpers and fenders, a rear spoiler, and lowered sport suspension, this 190E carries all the hallmarks of its motorsport roots. Its reputation was largely built on its consistent success in DTM, where the 190E 2.5-16V remained a competitive force for several years. Since 2020, the car has been in the hands of its current owner, who has maintained it with great care. Mechanically sound, this example is well-suited both for spirited driving and for preservation in a collection. Its colour combination, manual gearbox, and model year make this a highly desirable example for the discerning enthusiast looking for a well-preserved, honest, and original 190E 2.5-16V. A rising classic, rich in motorsport DNA and increasingly hard to find in this configuration – ready for the enthusiast who knows exactly what they’re looking for.
