1989 Mercedes-Benz 190E Tommy Kaira 16Valve Evolution Cosworth Description

The last time you probably heard the term ‘Tommy Kaira’, it was ripping around a digital racetrack on Gran Turismo in the late 90s. The name Tommy Kaira was legendary in the JDM car scene in the 2000s with heavy hitter Nissan Skylines and even their own car that got them a place in the Gran Turismo video game series. But before becoming all that, they started off by dabbling in the world of Mercedes-Benz. They took the regular W201 190E and W124 300E and added their own speical touches to the e...ngine, suspension, body work and wheels before reselling them to the Japanese market as the Tommy Kaira M19 and M30E . Very rarely seen them for sale due very low production numbers.. They started with a regular W201 190E with the 2.0 liter M102 engine and added their signature touch on almost every part of the car. Starting under the hood, they ported the head, bumped up the compression, added a new cam, aluminum headers and finished it off with a true dual exhaust that bumped up power to 153 horsepower. Suspension got the same treatment with a Koni sports setup for a more aggressive stance. The interior remained mainly unchanged outside of a signature Tommy kaira steering wheel. On the outside, this W201 received new bumpers, BBS RS wheels, and Tommy kaira badges with a large decal down the side of the car. This car was recently acquired by us in Japan and imported last month to USA . We there really impressed from the performance of this little Benz It feels light, fast and really well planted on the road compared to regular 190E. We believe this is the only one Tommy Kaira M19 in USA. Financing is available to qualified buyers!!!
