The Mercedes-Benz 114/115 series, colloquially known as the "Stroke 8" due to its 8-cylinder engine configuration, represents a significant chapter in the history of Mercedes-Benz. Introduced in 1968, these cars were designed to replace the aging W110/111 series and offered a compelling blend of luxury, performance, and engineering excellence. The 114/115 series cars were available in a range of body styles, including sedans, coupes, and convertibles, catering to diverse customer preferences. Notably, the 114 series featured a more compact, four-door sedan body style, while the 115 series boasted the quintessential two-door coupe and convertible variants.

Underneath the elegant exterior resided a robust and refined mechanical package. The 114/115 series employed a range of powerful inline-six and V8 engines, renowned for their smooth operation and durability. The "Stroke 8" moniker referred specifically to the V8 engine variants, which offered impressive power and torque, epitomizing the brand's commitment to performance. The cars were also lauded for their advanced suspension and braking systems, providing a comfortable and safe driving experience. The 114/115 series, despite being produced for a relatively short period from 1968 to 1976, left a lasting impression on the automotive world, solidifying Mercedes-Benz's position as a leading manufacturer of luxury cars with exceptional engineering and craftsmanship.
