Mercedes W188 Specs and Generations

The Mercedes W188 is a hand-built luxury grand tourer from the marque's early post-war era, offered in closed and open form and aimed at buyers who wanted comfort, craftsmanship and effortless touring pace rather than outright sportiness.

Mercedes W188 Generations

Mercedes W188 generations are represented here by the First Generation, offered as a Coupe and a Roadster. Start by choosing the body style that suits you: the Coupe adds a fixed roof and quieter cabin, while the Roadster trades that for open-air touring. Each generation page then covers the details.

Mercedes W188 Specifications

Mercedes W188 specifications centre on gasoline power across the represented range, driving the rear wheels through a manual gearbox. Because specs were revised over time and differed between versions, treat powertrain outputs, dimensions and equipment as belonging to a particular generation and version rather than the model as a whole.
