Model history

The Mercedes-Benz W111 was produced between 1959 and 1971 and was known for its characteristic "tail fins", which earned the model the nickname "Fintail" in Germany. Originally introduced as a sedan with a 2.2-liter inline six-cylinder engine, the W111 was characterized by advanced safety features and a timeless body shape. From 1961, elegant coupés and cabriolets were also offered, underlining the luxurious aspirations of the model series. Today, the W111 is regarded as a symbol of classic Mercedes-Benz design tradition and technological innovation of the 1960s.
