The Story of the Mercedes-Benz 200 (W115)
The Mercedes-Benz 200 (W115) is part of the second generation of the "Stroke-Eight" series and was produced from 1968 to 1976. These vehicles were originally designed as successors to the Ponton models of the W120 series. Designers Paul Bracq and Béla Barényi were the creative minds behind the design and engineering of this classic. The goal was to implement an innovative and functional design that increased safety and comfort for users. The year 1968 marked interesting events like the launch of Apollo 7 and the release of the legendary album "The Beatles" (White Album). These examples convey the cultural and technological landscape in which the Mercedes-Benz 200 (W115) emerged.

The petrol engine of the 200 model had a power output of approximately 95 hp and reached a top speed of about 165 km/h (103 mph).
