I think this 190D is the absolute opposite. Just a 2ltr in-line 4 diesel with only 72PS, but she does move quite leisurely and smoothly on the autobahn to reach that land speed record top speed haha

What an impressive car the 190 was.
The 2.3-16 is one of the best dailies one could get even by 2020 standards.

^ Fake. No sport seats, speedometer ends at 220 km/h and, and, and…

Yeah that is definitely not a real 2.3-16 model, it's missing the sports seats, sports dials in the center console, 260km/h speedo and 8000rpm tachometer reclined at 7000rpm.

Non airbag interior 2.3-16 mercedes.webp

And not center console dials and most important, no dog-leg gearbox!

2nd to 3rd opposite of each other, you know your stuff, Giannis.

That famous dog leg 1st gear Getrag gearbox

The standard model 190 shift pattern. Reverse is where 5th gear is on the dog leg gearbox.

190E 2.5-16 POV drive. Looks like the 1st to 2nd could get confusing lol

The W201 will be celebrating its 40-year debut anniversary soon. A landmark car for Mercedes to enter the compact saloon market. The real odd thing is it launched within a week or so of the E30 BMW 3-series which is another landmark car for BMW also. Both are legends.

It may not be real DTM edition, but at least it's well preserved. Besides, dog-leg transmissions are just stupid, you shift forwards and then you reverse into some gangster's Escalade who will order his goons to throw you in a river wearing concrete shoes.

And your precious 190 E with the dog-leg gearbox will end-up just like this 2.6

I guess scrapping cars is a fun business.

And you needed only 180 hp to drive one of the hottest cars around...

What a beauty and great specifications. Stylish colour combination ext-int. A little gem…

Never knew about this little monster. Imagine taking the 5.0 ltr V8 (177kw/405m) from the W126 500SE and then putting it under the bonnet of the little 190E. Shultz Tuning did this in 1984 and it is a E30 M3 and E28 M5 killer.
