Record-Breaking Mercedes-Benz 190E at Nardo

In 1983, Mercedes-Benz took their unreleased 190 E 2.3-16 performance sedan to Nardò. It went full throttle, all day and night, for nine days and beat three world records.

In the period from August 11th to 21st, the 190E broke records for 50,000 kilometres, 25,000 miles and 25,000 kilometres in nearly stock configuration that eliminated the cooling fan and power steering.
