Daily Driven1989W201
The Dspec Racing 190E is a W201-chassis Mercedes-Benz built for drift taxi duties and competition events in New Zealand. The car is campaigned regularly at Meremere Drift Park and has appeared at public events including the Chrome New Zealand show at ASB Showgrounds in Auckland.
Engine management is handled by a Haltech ECU, and early captions reference HWA branding, suggesting performance-oriented internal work. The build is configured to carry passengers in the rear seat, functioning as a drift taxi alongside its competition role.
The account documents the car across multiple sessions, capturing both in-car footage from the back seat and trackside video. The 190E is noted by the account operator as a capable and predictable platform straight from build, drawing a direct comparison to the more common Nissan Silvia drift cars that dominate the local scene.

Enough of drifting Silvia’s. Time for a change. I’m surprised how well this @dspec_racing 190e handles right out of the box. #190e #w201 #haltech #rebells
