The Mercedes-Benz W114 and W115, affectionately known as the "Stroke Eight" due to their 2.5-liter straight-eight engine, were a significant departure from the previous generation of Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Released between 1968 and 1976, these mid-sized sedans marked the introduction of a more streamlined and modern design language while retaining the renowned Mercedes-Benz engineering principles of robustness and durability. The W114 and W115 series were available in a variety of body styles, including the 2-door coupe, 4-door sedan, and 5-door wagon, catering to a diverse range of customer needs.

The W114 and W115 models were the first Mercedes-Benz vehicles to feature a unibody construction, a significant departure from the traditional body-on-frame design. This change resulted in a lighter and more rigid structure, enhancing both handling and safety. The vehicles were also equipped with a sophisticated suspension system that provided a comfortable ride while maintaining excellent stability. Under the hood, the W114 and W115 were initially powered by a range of straight-six and straight-eight engines, later replaced with the fuel-efficient M115 four-cylinder engine. These engines, renowned for their smooth operation and longevity, were coupled with either a four-speed manual or a three-speed automatic transmission. Despite their relatively compact size, the W114 and W115 offered a spacious and comfortable interior, with high-quality materials and thoughtful design. Their luxurious accommodations and reliable performance cemented their reputation as reliable and desirable automobiles.
