On paper the Mercedes 190E Evo and the 190E 2.5 16 Cosworth are almost the same car, almost. The W201 generation Mercedes 190E is an icon and there are levels to how much of an icon it is, from the diesel 190D, the standard 1.8 litre petrol 190E, the 2.3 16 Cosworth and then the 2.5 16 Cosworth, 190E Evo 1 and then the true icon of DTM, the 190E Evo 2. The latter two were essentially each limited to about 500 examples as they were built purely as a homologation special to allow Mercedes to run the car in DTM.
