Just imagine a machine that has a 6.2-liter, 518-hp, all-AMG V8 engine and is also at the top of luxury at its finest made by the legendary Mercedes Benz company. You don’t have to imagine, this is real. At the heart of the new AMG Speedshift MCT seven-speed sports transmission is a new start-up clutch, which runs in an oil bath and replaces a conventional torque converter. Due to its low rotational mass, the start-up clutch helps the transmission respond instantaneously and dynamically with no slip. Fitted with four drive modes: “C” (Comfort), “S” (Sport), “S+” (Sport plus) and “M” (Manual), the transmission provides customized shift control for maximum driving pleasure, and does so with no interruption of power. Its built completely from a high-strength silicon-aluminum alloy, the cylinder bores make use of a twin-wire-arc-sprayed coating, a process that results in impressively low friction and running surfaces that are twice as hard as conventional cast-iron cylinders. There are some many features about this car, and that’s what makes it stand out. The price tag is just over $133,000 for this power and beauty.
