The Mercedes-Benz W201, affectionately nicknamed the "Baby Benz" or "190," was introduced in 1982 and produced until 1993. This compact executive sedan was the first Mercedes-Benz to feature a transversely-mounted engine and front-wheel drive layout, a departure from the traditional rear-wheel drive configuration of the brand. The W201 was initially offered with a range of four-cylinder engines, ranging from 1.8 to 2.6 liters in displacement, all featuring fuel injection. Later models saw the introduction of more powerful six-cylinder engines, including the iconic 2.5-liter 16-valve unit found in the 190E 2.5-16, renowned for its sporty performance. The W201 was a revolutionary car for Mercedes-Benz, ushering in a new era of compact luxury.

The interior was also a step forward, with a modern dashboard and high-quality materials. The W201's success was a testament to its blend of luxurious comfort, sporty performance, and advanced technology. It was a highly popular model during its production run, and it remains a desirable classic car today.
