2.3-16 ECE AMG

[manu1702]

Ich war des festen Überzeugung, dass AMG kein Tuning für den 2.3-16 anbot, bis ich auf dieses Fahrzeug stieß.

Originaltext:

"This is a European-import 1985 Mercedes Benz 190E 2.3-16 valve with a manual Getrag 5-speed dogleg transmission. This car was specially ordered through Classic Motors in Chicago in 1985 (AMG of North America); the car was sent from the MB factory to AMG’s facility in Affalterbach where it received further modifications to the Cosworth-headed engine. These modifications pushed the HP ratings from a euro-stock 185HP to AMG’s 210HP. I have the original AMG documentation to prove these modifications; in addition, the documentation lists this car’s VIN number as the identifier. There is not an itemized list of alterations done by AMG, but knowing AMG back then, they likely polished and ported the head, installed a hotter cam, and tweaked the mapping on the EZL. All of those were regular things they would do in the mid-1980s. Keep in mind, this car was built in 1985 – two years before AMG created the famous 190E AMG Power Pack for the 2.5-16 and the Evo I which bumped HP up to 224. As far as I’m concerned, this car is one of the earliest, if not THE earliest, AMG Power Pack ever created for the 16v Cossie engine.

This is a one-owner car from 1985 to 2011. I found the car in Chicago last year; after having the original owner prove that the car was indeed an AMG-tuned car, I flew to Chicago to meet the seller and see/drive the car –it was so rare, most AMG experts I contacted didn’t even know that these cars were built this early. The original owner kept it in a garage since day one; he never drove it in the winter (hence the only 50,000 miles in 26 years). I have all the service records for the car, including the almighty-important original AMG documentation. He bought it as a toy in 1985, and although he’s gone through lots of toys over 25 years, this one was his constant. I bought it because I thought the car was cool as hell; I’m selling it because I just bought a one-owner 1969 Porsche 911S Targa and a 1971 300SEL 6.3, and both of those cars have needs. I've always owned cool cars from the '80s (I still have an '86 CJ7), but I'm finding my tastes changing to the classics of the '60s rather than the cars of my youth. For me, the '60s cars are more entertaining to drive. Selling this 16v AMG will mean better funding for the 911S and the 6.3.

Servus Manu,

das ist ein tolles Fahrzeug, die Bilder sind mir bekannt bzw. hab ich vor langer Zeit schonmal gesehen.
Auch der Umstand das AMG dazumals schon ein Leistungs-Kit für den 2.3er angeboten hat.
Zur Eröffnung dieses Forums, sozusagen im allerersten Thread des Unterforum Tuning wurde dieses AMG Tuningangebot für den 2.3er bereits erwähnt >> Tuning erwünscht - Ur Thread aus 2005
Es dürften kaum noch Zeitzeugen/Fahrzeuge erhalten sein, wer sowas sein Eigen nennt, darf sich heute glücklich schätzen

Gruß Fränk

Gegen Geld hat AMG doch auch damals schon fast alles gemacht.

Tolles Englisch btw: "a power increase OF 210 hp was effected by our company." Also eine Leistungssteigerung UM 210 PS...

Sehr cooles Auto, um mal zum Thema zu sprechen zu kommen. Der geht bestimmt in etwa wie ein EVO II
