Champion DRM 1992

AMG Mercedes 190 E Evo 2: This vehicle established the sportiness of the 190 and 200 series, the Mercedes-Benz brand, which had previously been more popular as safe family or business sedans. Yes, there were racing and rally cars with the star that achieved considerable success in the 30s, 50s, 60s and 70s, sometimes on a standard basis, but it was only possible to make a racing product from the Mercedes-Benz shop and deliver it directly to Dad's driveway the Mercedes 190E in its sports versions - at least for manageable salaries. Men like Kurt Thiim, Klaus Ludwig, Bernd Schneider and Roland Asch were to blame for the boom. Even today, names that give goosebumps to the classically elderly mid-60s. The TV duels of the DRM and DTM against the no less legendary M3 are mother's milk for racing fans of this time. The watercolor shows Klaus Ludwig winning the DTM races at the Nürburgring in 1992.
