MERCEDES 190 E 2.3 16s 1985. Serial number: WDB2010341A201588. - The baby Benz! - The devil in the body! - Ganz phänomenal !!! In 1982, the brand unveiled the W201 series. Intended as the flagship model in the star-spangled range, the "baby Benz" was an instant success that exceeded even the most optimistic forecasts. It rejuvenated Mercedes' customer base and ushered the brand into a new dimension. Introduced in 1984, the 190 E 2.3 was powered by a 2.3-litre, 16-valve, fuel-injected M2 engine that developed 185 bhp and reached speeds of up to 230 km/h. Mercedes unknowingly invented the concept of the sporty family saloon. This powerful, lightweight bombshell was to be the stuff of dreams for a whole generation of young executives. The star was given a new lease of life, and not in the least because behind this devilish engine was no less than the tuner Cosworth! And its body extensions are taking the car into the tuning era. Our example is in very good condition. It works perfectly and driving it in sport mode is a real thrill. The interior, with its 80s-style trim, is also in very good condition. It has a five-speed gearbox. The odometer shows 193,800 original km. The vehicle has its normal registration papers and a roadworthiness test less than six months old. A typical youngtimer, this supercharged baby Benz is highly sought-after today, and once you've bought it, you'll understand why!
