The Mercedes-Benz W115, affectionately known as the "Strich Acht" (Stroke Eight) due to its eight-cylinder engine in most variants, was a significant step forward for the German automaker. Launched in 1968, the W115 replaced the aging W110 "Fintail" and marked the start of Mercedes-Benz's transition to a more modern design language. The W115 was a compact mid-size car, available in both four-door sedan and two-door coupe configurations, with a range of engine options. The 220 and 220D models were particularly popular, offering a balance of performance and fuel efficiency. The 220 boasted a powerful 120 horsepower inline-six engine, while the 220D featured a frugal and durable 60 horsepower four-cylinder diesel engine, appealing to those seeking economical transportation. The W115 was renowned for its sturdy construction, advanced engineering, and comfortable interior. It also introduced several innovations, including a new independent rear suspension system that provided a smoother ride and improved handling. Importantly, the W115 was one of the first vehicles to incorporate safety features like crumple zones and a padded dashboard as standard equipment, a testament to Mercedes-Benz's commitment to passenger safety. This commitment to safety, combined with its reliability, refined driving experience, and timeless elegance, solidified the W115's status as a popular choice for discerning drivers worldwide. Today, the W115 remains a sought-after classic, appreciated for its timeless design, robust build quality, and historical significance in the evolution of Mercedes-Benz automobiles.
