W110

W110 is a designation that can refer to several different entities, most notably a type of Mercedes-Benz automobile. The Mercedes-Benz W110 is a luxury car produced by Daimler-Benz from 1961 to 1968. It was part of the larger "Stroke-8" (or "Strich-Acht") family of cars, which also included the W108 and W109 models. The W110 was positioned as a more affordable option within the Mercedes-Benz lineup, offering a balance of comfort, reliability, and executive styling. It was available as a four-door sedan and a five-door station wagon, known as the "Universal."

The W110 was characterized by its upright, elegant design, a departure from the more rounded styling of its predecessors. It featured a robust construction and was powered by a range of four-cylinder diesel engines and gasoline engines. The designation "Stroke-8" originated from its introduction in August of 1961, with "1961" being represented as "1961" in German, which was often abbreviated with a stroke representing the year, such as "61". This design philosophy emphasized practicality and longevity.

The W110 was a significant model for Mercedes-Benz, contributing to the brand's reputation for quality and engineering. It was produced in relatively large numbers for its segment and remains a sought-after classic car for collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate its understated style and enduring build quality. Beyond automobiles, W110 could also be a technical designation or model number in other industries, though the Mercedes-Benz W110 remains its most widely recognized association.
