Why I want this in GT: This virtually unknown Group B car deserves a spot in GT. And once again quoting CORRUPTEDDISC, "You can never have too many rally cars".
From Groupbrally.com:
Developed under the code name “W201″, the Mercedes Group B effort was doomed from the start. The W201 used a front engine, rear drive arrangement. Once the 4WD Audi Quattro was released, Mercedes shelved the idea. The RWD platform later used in the 190 series of cars was developed with help from Cosworth to compete in heated battles in DTM.
The Mercedes 190E later went on to win many DTM races and to be evolved into one of the most stunning german cars ever to be produced. Former World F1 Champion Ayrton Senna won the inaugural opening race at the new Nurburgring race track in a prepared 190E. Many race & endurance records were set by this model including the DTM Series which saw the blitzing & demolition of the M3 BMWs.
