# Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II Team AMG Motorenbau GmbH No. 3 Klaus Ludwig DTM Champion 1992 Werk83 1:18

> The Werk83 1:18 scale model reproduces Klaus Ludwig's championship-winning No. 3 AMG Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II from the 1992 DTM season — the last title claimed by the iconic Evo II before the W202 C-Class era.

The Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II occupies a singular position in touring car history: a homologation special of which only 502 road-going examples were built, engineered by AMG Motorenbau GmbH to meet the Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft's 500-unit production requirement. Werk83 has reproduced the car in die-cast metal at 1:18, capturing the championship-winning livery of Team AMG Motorenbau GmbH from the 1992 season.

## A Road Car Built for Racing: The W201 Evolution II

Mercedes-Benz introduced the 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II in 1990 as a direct response to the DTM's homologation rules. The W201 bodyshell was extended with an aggressive front splitter, wide flared arches, and the car's defining feature: a tall, adjustable rear wing — all developed in conjunction with AMG Motorenbau GmbH. The road car uses a 2.5-litre DOHC 16-valve inline-four derived from the M102 E25 Evolution unit, competitive within the DTM's strict class regulations of the period.

## Klaus Ludwig and the Final Championship for the Evo II

The 1992 Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft proved to be the last season in which the 190E 2.5-16 Evo II served as the primary AMG works entry. Klaus Ludwig, already a multiple DTM title-holder and three-time Le Mans winner, drove the No. 3 car for Team AMG Motorenbau GmbH to clinch the drivers' championship. The white base livery with sponsor graphics and race number 3 became the final expression of the official AMG 190E programme before the W202 C-Class replaced it for the 1993 season onward.

## Werk83's 1:18 Scale Model in Die-Cast Metal

Werk83 produces the No. 3 Klaus Ludwig 1992 DTM champion car as a 1:18 die-cast metal replica, replicating the aerodynamic bodywork that defined the Evo II's race specification: the flared arches, front splitter, and high-mounted adjustable rear wing are all present in the casting. The white AMG Motorenbau livery with race number 3 is reproduced across the bodywork in the detail level expected of Werk83's 1:18 range.
