V8 Reutemann Tribute: 1986 Mercedes-Benz 190E

This next feature car offers an interesting nod to the DTM/Group A cars from the 1984 Race of Champions at the Nurburgring GP course where Mercedes invited the F1 World Championship grid drivers to race identical modified 190E Benzes. The race is one of those pieces of insane racing history because newcomer Senna won the race while competing in equal machinery versus the best drivers in the world, like Niki Lauda, Keke Rosberg, Carlos “Lole” Reutemann, Jack Brabham, James Hunt, John Watson, John Surtees, Phil Hill, and Alain Prost. Today’s 190E ditches the Cosworth tuned 4-cylinder for an M113 SOHC V8 mated to a Tremec 6-speed. It looks properly nutty and ready for track days or Cars & Coffee. Find this 1986 Mercedes-Benz 190E offered for $16,500 in Hesperia, CA via faceworth champmarket.
