Brief on the W114/115:

The W114/W115 models were the first post-war Mercedes-Benz production car to use a newly engineered chassis, not derived from preceding models. The new chassis format of semi-trailing rear arms and ball-joint front end first displayed in the W114/W115 chassis would be used in all new Mercedes passenger car models until the development of the multi-link rear suspensions of the 1980s. TheW108/109S-Classchassis of the 280S/8, 280SE/8 and 300SEL/8 would be the last of the low-pivot swing axle and king pin/double wishbone front ends.

The W114/W115 models replaced theW110 Fintailmodels stemming from 1961, and were themselves replaced by theW123series after 1976.

The Mercedes-Benz W114/W115 was the mid-sizedsaloonmodel for Mercedes, positioned below the S-Class. Mercedes also launched its first 5-cylinder diesel engineOM617in this chassis. It followed heavily in the direction set by the W108/109 S-class, which was launched in 1965 and heralded the new design idiom. The car was designed by French auto designerPaul Bracqwho was chief designer at Mercedes-Benz for models from 1957 to 1967, a period that included models such as the GrosserMercedes-Benz 600.
