1987 Mercedes Benz 190E 2.3 - 16 Cosworth (W201)
This isn’t just another 190E. It’s a rare, motorsport-bred icon that has become one of the most collectible 80s Benz models in the world.
This is the 1987 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16 Cosworth, built for performance and engineered in collaboration with Cosworth to take on BMW’s iconic M division.
It features a 5-speed manual transmission, factory sunroof, and only 125,000 miles on the clock (approx. 201,000 km). In excellent condition inside and out, it’s ready to be driven or proudly added to any serious collection.
What makes it special?
This model holds historical significance — developed to compete in touring car racing (DTM), it introduced advanced performance features like a high-revving Cosworth-tuned 16-valve engine, limited-slip differential, and sport-tuned suspension. It was also the car that helped prove Mercedes could do performance sedans, not just luxury cruisers. Only a limited number were ever built, and surviving examples in this condition are becoming increasingly scarce on the global market — which is why values continue to rise.
