Further explanation of the theme, as described by Nato_777:

"This car has to one of my all time favourite Mercedes in the GT series, in both it's road car
and touring car configurations. The Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5 - 16 Evolution II Touring Car was
a force to be reckoned with in the DTM during the early 90's. During it's development it
underwent several evolutions and due to the homologation rules the Evo II production road
car was adorned with the wide wheel arches and big rear wing found on the touring car.
This week I would like you take the Evolution II homologation road car out for testing at the
Nurburgring GP Circuit.
I have one on share so if anyone doesn't have it you can borrow mine."


CAR: Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5 - 16 Evolution II '91.
LOCATION: Nurburgring GP Circuit.
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS: None other than using said car and track.

My favorite GT4 starter car, but with a livery. Hallelujah! :)
 
Although I mentioned the Touring car in the description if you check you'll see it's the road car (no livery) that is being used. I tossed back and forth between both versions but decided on the road car as it allows for a little more variety with paint/wheel changes.

HOLY MOLY - 1000th POST! Huzzar! :D
 
Holy Moly!, I knew you guys would produce some magic with this car this week and you sure are doing that :drool: - excellent entries so far - really looking forward to the rest of the week. :D
 
Final entry



Well, here comes another portrait :dopey:
I'd totally forgotten how nice this car drives,
and the engine sound is just soooo crispy.
Nice theme, Nato 👍​
 
I am a bit ashamed to say I have never used the car.

Although from the looks of the few entrys already, its a super car to shoot.
 
I must admit my shame, i have one of these and i've styled it like 50cent's from 'Get rich or die tryin':scared::guilty:
 
White and gray seem to be the best colors for this car, but I don't want to blend in.
 
FINAL ENTRY



Thank you Nathan for lending the car to me – guess I owe you a set of tyres :)
