The Mercedes 190 EVO II was last used in the DTM in 1993.
I link some images from speedhunters.com to show the 1993 car:
Both images are from an article about Klaus Ludwig. Good reading!

Notice the two different wings used depending on the track layout. Top picture seems to be the same wing as used on the 1994 car (this is where the Tamiya kit can be used to replicate the wing), where the low drag wing is a completely different design.
Also the nose of the car was redesigned when compared to the 1992 car.
This was also the first year that Alfa Romeo joined the series with their 155 Ti.
Nicola Larini clinched the title.
Alfa was the first manufacturer that designed a new car to take full advantage of the new rules.
The 1994 Mercedes is another beast all together. Based on the C-Class road car. Tamiya issued a really nice kit of all three liveries raced in 1994.
The kits have item numbers TAM24146, TAM24143, TAM24140.
The Ellen Lohr / Kurt Thiim cars with the West sponsorship ran in 1991.
Fujimis kit is true to the exterior of that car and the 1992 versions.
