A conventional front-engine, rear-drive, four-door saloon, the 190 was available with a variety of engines ranging from a 1.8-litre four to a 2.6-litre six, plus 2.0-litre and 2.5-litre diesels. Mercedes-Benz's engineers contrived to offer generous interior accommodation, rivalling that of the firm's larger models despite the 190's compact overall dimensions, while an ingenious new computer-designed five-link rear suspension system was combined with conventional McPherson struts at the front to ensure excellent road holding without compromising ride comfort. A sports model was not long in coming, the Cosworth-developed 2.3-16 joining the expanding 190 range in the autumn of 1983.
Although the model made its debut at the Frankfurt Auto Show in September, it had already grabbed the headlines by setting numerous world records at the Nardo circuit in Italy in August, including 24 hours at an average speed of 153.3mph!
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
This incredible Cosworth-developed 190e 2.3-16 is an excellent example of the famous Mercedes-Benz M3 competitor. The high-performance variant of the 190 was only available in the US for 2 years, 1986-1987. This example was sold new in California and would remain in the golden state for the entirety of its life. With only 63,000 miles on the odometer, one look at the car, and it quickly becomes apparent that it has led a pampered life. The car is accompanied by its original books, clean Carfax, and service records, including an invoice for the recent SLS flush.190e 2.3-16s were designed to win the World Rally Championship in an era where the engineers were free to run wild.
The result is an incredible performer with the touch of elegance that Mercedes-Benz had come to be known for. It is becoming increasingly harder to find clean, original examples such as this and as a result, desirability and prices are continuing to rise. Do not pass up this opportunity to acquire a remarkable example before it's too late.
