Heard it has something to do with Merc purposely making it laggier than conventional DCT, to prevent the gearbox from destroy ing itself (not too sure where I read this) |

380hp from a 2 litre is just impressive and bonkers from an engineering standpoint. But you'd have to wonder about how reliable it is. That much power from a small engine, something has to give. |

S mode is ok but they needed an S+ which is apparently coming for 16. Sounds like some decent changes for the DCT. Lower ratios: The AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sport transmission Another dominant factor in the agile and dynamic character of the power transfer is the AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sport transmission. Thanks to the now shorter transmission ratios in 3rd to 7th gear, the driver experiences even more dynamic acceleration in all speed ranges. Together with optimised response and shift times, the closer ratio spread ensures better transitions when upshifting. |
