In-game description
This description is taken from the description page in GT5. It is transcluded from here.
The 1955 24 Hours of Le Mans was marred by one of the most horrific accidents in the history of motorsports. And in the center of that tragedy was Mercedes-Benz. The company didn't return to big-time motorsports until the mid 1980s. Part of the comeback was led by the compact 190E 2.3-16[1] that raced in the 1986 DTM (Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft, or German Touring Car Championship).
The 190E 2.3-16[1] racer was a homologation machine made specifically for touring car races, based on the production 190E. It was powered by a Cosworth-tuned 2.3-liter DOHC inline-4. But the 2.3-16 failed to produce results, being completely shut out after winning its first two races. Things got even worse the following year when BMW introduced the M3. The 2.3-16 didn't achieve a single victory.
In 1988, Mercedes-Benz made revisions to the car, and created the 190E 2.5-16.[2] Displacement for the engine was increased to 2.5 liters, which accounted for 311 HP. In 1990, a large rear wing and wider fenders were added in the "Evolution II" edition. Power once again went up, this time to 328 HP. The Evolution II showed its true power during the 1992 season, boasting 16 wins in 24 races. Mercedes took the top three spots in the driver's points, making the 190E 2.5-16[2]See previous references the overall winner of that year's DTM series.
