Additional Info : Exceptionally rare example of the legendary Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16 Cosworth, the homologation version built for the German DTM championship and developed in partnership with Cosworth. This model became an icon both on and off the track, famously linked to Ayrton Senna’s victory at the 1984 “Race of Champions.” Powered by the original 2.3L 16-valve engine producing 185 hp, paired with the highly desirable 5-speed Getrag dogleg manual gearbox (with first gear positioned down to the left), offering short and precise gear changes. It also features a factory limited-slip differential, sport suspension, and the original aerodynamic package including side skirts and rear spoiler. Model year 1985. The main highlight of this vehicle is its integrity and preserved originality. It retains its iconic Recaro interior and factory-original configuration throughout. The only modification is the replacement of the original rear muffler with a Barenwald sport exhaust featuring dual outlets. The vehicle is already registered with Brazilian black licenc plate historic certification. The paintwork shows the natural wear of time and an authentic period patina, preserving its history and character. Some areas received localized repainting for conservation purposes, but the car still maintains a high degree of originality. This is an excellent base for anyone seeking a legitimate and honest example, whether for preservation or a high-level cosmetic refinement project.
