The Mercedes-Benz 250C 2.8 was a variant of the W114 Coupe that was introduced for the 1970 model year. The 250C 2.8 was offered with the M130.923, which was a 130hp unit only offered in North America due to emissions regulations. The M130.923 engine became the only engine offered from mid 1972, although production of the 250C 2.8 saw limited numbers due to the introduction of the 280C and 280CE.
