The 770 was introduced in 1930 as the successor to the Mercedes-Benz Typ 630, with the internal code W07.
These high-priced cars were mainly used by governments as state vehicles.
Reich President Paul von Hindenburg, Emperor Hirohito and Pope Pius XI were among the customers, and Adolf Hitler used a 770 from 1931 onwards.
117 W07-series cars were built until 1938.

The W07 version of the 770 was powered by an inline eight-cylinder engine of 7,655 cc (467.1 cu in) capacity with an overhead camshaft and aluminium pistons.
This engine produced 150 bhp (112 kW) at 2800 rpm without supercharging.
An optional Roots type supercharger, which was engaged at full throttle, would raise the output to 200 bhp (149 kW) at 2800 rpm, which could propel the car to 160 km/h (99 mph).
The transmission had four forward ratios, of which third was direct and fourth was an overdrive.

The W07 had a contemporary boxed chassis suspended by semi-elliptic leaf springs onto beam axles front and rear.
Dimensions would vary with coachwork, but the chassis had a wheelbase of 3,750 mm (147.6 in) and a front track equal to the rear track of 1,500 mm (59.1 in).
