The Mercedes-Benz 770, known in German as the Grosser Mercedes, was an ultra luxury car that Mercedes-Benz built from 1930 until 1944 as successor to the Typ 630. It came in two series: the W07 of 1930 to 1938, with a 7,665 cc inline eight that gave 150 horsepower, or 200 with the optional supercharger, and the heavily revised W150 of 1938 to 1944, with coil springs, a de Dion rear axle and hydraulic brakes. Governments bought most of them as state cars, and customers included Reich President Hindenburg, Emperor Hirohito and Pope Pius XI, while the W150 is best remembered for its use by senior officials of Nazi Germany and its allies. Several armoured examples survive in museums.
