Cut a fine figure on the race track. In designer sports gear<br />
With this much engine output, every gear is a revelation. <strong>The</strong> new <strong>AMG</strong> SPEEDSHIFT<br />
DCT 7-speed sports transmission with an integral rear axle differential lock is in<br />
control here. <strong>The</strong> dual-clutch transmission’s construction principle comes from<br />
the world of motorsport: it consists of two automated dividing gears, each with<br />
one clutch. When changing gear, one clutch closes whilst the other one opens<br />
simultaneously, so that there is no interruption to power delivery during shifting.<br />

Incidentally, all this happens in less than a hundred milliseconds – just as fast as<br />
a racing driver. <strong>The</strong> driver can choose from four transmission modes: “C” (Controlled<br />
Efficiency), “S” (Sport), “S+” (Sport plus) and “M” (Manual). <strong>The</strong> RACE START<br />
function facilitates maximum acceleration from standstill. So if you should ever<br />
find yourself unable to resist a race track, there’s plenty of scope for challenging<br />
the laws of physics.
