(PRE-ORDER COMING SOON) TAMIYA MERCEDES-BENZ 190 E EVO II '91

The German Touring Car racing series known as DTM began its roots in 1984 with significant rule changes over the decades. In the early 1990’s interest in the series reached elevated levels as Mercedes Benz battled archrival BMW among other brands for on-track supremacy. During DTM’s championship contention, Mercedes introduced 190 E 2.5-16 EVO II in 1991. Based upon the compact Mercedes-Benz 190 E, it was given improved aerodynamics with components such as over fenders, front and rear spoilers and a large rear wing, and employed a 2.5-liter inline-4 DOHC engine capable of 340hp. In the same year, the works team car sponsored by German beer brand König Pilsener secured second place in the Championship and brought the Manufacturer’s Championship to Mercedes-Benz. I uses the TT-02 chassis, an adaptable and easy to build and proven shaft driving 4WD platform. The body is made of lightweight, rigid 1.0mm thick PC. Separate black ABS plastic parts realistically depict side mirrors, rear-wing, front grille and emblems. Silver color dish wheels are paired with racing slick tires. Includes livery stickers, window masking tape, a 540 Brushed Motor and ESC
