Kontraste der Modellreihe W201 | Einstiegsvariante vs. Muskelprotz | Mercedes-Benz W201 (Baby-Benz)

Forty years ago, the company entered a new dimension with the "Baby Benz," the Mercedes 190. Internally designated W 201, this model expanded the product range downwards, making driving a Mercedes attractive to new customer groups. Automotive journalist and historian Wolfgang Blaube presents two extreme examples of this series, manufactured in the Bremen and Sindelfingen plants: a sedate 190 E and a blazing-fast 190 2.5 16 Evolution 2. The contrast could hardly be greater: the base model in innocent white with a bare-bones configuration versus Mercedes's most potent weapon in the fight for the DTM title, in its high-performance Evolution version, complete with full body kit.
