AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT sports transmission increases efficiency

February 01, 2011 - MONTVALE, NJ

The high-performance Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG sedan is now more attractive than ever thanks to restyling for the 2012MY. The C63 AMG sedan is complemented by numerous enhancements help maximize performance while significantly reducing fuel consumption. The sedan now features the award-winning AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission with standard "Controlled Efficiency" mode along with a new power steering pump that helps reduce the combined fuel consumption by about ten percent (estimated figured for U.S. models pending). The output of the AMG 6.3-liter V8 engine is unchanged at 451 hp and can be increased to a maximum of 481 hp with the optional AMG Development Package.

Agility, grip and ride comfort have been enhanced as a result of numerous measures to optimize the AMG sports suspension. New assistance systems and a new generation of telematics increase both safety and comfort. The U.S. market launch for the 2012 C63 AMG Sedan begins in autumn.

The 2012 C63 AMG sedan features a new radiator grille with a large Mercedes star and a single transverse louvre, as well as a new AMG front apron with a lower cross member painted in high-gloss black. Additionally highlights include special AMG daytime running lights and side air outlets which recall those found on the SL63 AMG high-performance roadster. New clear-lens headlamps emphasize the car's distinctive, confident presence especially when equipped with the optional Lighting Package featuring bi-xenon headlamps. The wide front fenders with the "6.3 AMG" badge and the new 5 twin-spoke AMG light-alloy wheels -- , finished in titanium grey. Good contact with the road is provided by the wide 235/40 R 18 and 255/35 R 18 tires at the front and rear.

The rear of the C63 AMG now features a new AMG rear apron featuring a distinctive, black diffuser insert with three pronounced fins.

Under the skin, the top C-Class model boasts a wealth of new technology including the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission - another advanced feature adopted from the SL63 AMG. This innovative transmission uses a wet start-up clutch in place of a traditional torque converter to deliver a much more efficient, agile and direct response. Fuel consumption and emissions have been reduced thanks to the "Controlled Efficiency" mode and a new power steering pump.

@RefreshChannel

No. Just, NO. The 2012 300 SRT8 weighs more and has less power, that means, its SLOWER.

@RefreshChannel nope your wrong, the fastest a c63 will do 0-60 is in 3.8 with a 12 second quarter mile, the fastest srt8 does 0-60 in 4.3 with a 12.6 quarter mile.

[tjl5030]

Yes, but the quality of car is much better with the Mercedes. American cars, well not all, but most do not have interior quality like these cars.

@Mr8Zylinder perfect doesnt even begin to describe it

[idin03]

the fastest 0-60 ive seen is 4.4 and 12.7 quarter mile for the srt8, the fastest for c63 is 3.8 and 12.0 seconds quarter mile, for cts v i saw 4.0 and 12.1, and your saying the benz is a shitty? lol

[imagonalicku]

@RefreshChannel you are soooo stupid, the 300 str8 cant beat this thing around a track or in a straight line, this car is 100x better than a shitty gm car. Cts v in a straight line thats all, over all this car is better.
