The Mercedes-Benz W201 AMG DTM was the racing version of the Mercedes-Benz 190 E, built by Mercedes-Benz and AMG between 1988 and 1993 for the German touring car championship, the DTM. It passed through several versions, the 190 E 2.3-16, the 2.5-16, the Evolution and the Evolution II, and a Class 1 car for the 1993 rules. The works team won the manufacturers title in 1991 and 1992, and Klaus Ludwig took the drivers title in 1992 when the Evolution II won 16 of 24 races.
