The Mercedes-Benz W114/W115, affectionately known as the "Stroke Eight" due to its 2.5-liter inline-six engine, marked a significant departure from the company's previous offerings. Introduced in 1968, this series of mid-size sedans represented a move towards a more modern and refined approach to automotive design. They were the first Mercedes-Benzes to feature a monocoque body construction, providing a more rigid and safer structure compared to previous models. This body style allowed for greater interior space, enhancing passenger comfort and practicality. The car's design was also notable for its clean lines and understated elegance, a hallmark of Mercedes-Benz design language that continues to this day.

The W114/W115 series offered a range of engine options, all of which were powerful and fuel-efficient for their time. The base engine was a 2.5-liter inline-six with fuel injection, capable of producing 140 horsepower. Larger displacement options were also available, including a 2.8-liter and even a 3.0-liter version for more spirited driving. These vehicles were renowned for their reliability and durability, contributing to their enduring popularity among classic car enthusiasts. The W114/W115 series was a substantial success for Mercedes-Benz, establishing the brand's reputation for building robust and stylish mid-size sedans. They were also instrumental in transitioning Mercedes-Benz from a primarily luxury car manufacturer to a more mainstream automotive player, attracting a wider audience with their combination of performance, comfort, and practicality.
