SLS AMG / 35
Cut a fine figure on the race track. In designer sports gear
With this much engine output, every gear is a revelation. The new AMG Speedshift DCT 7-speed sports transmission with an integral rear axle differential lock is in
control here. The dual-clutch transmission’s construction principle comes from the world of motorsport: it consists of two automated dividing gears, each with one
clutch. When changing gear, one clutch closes whilst the other one opens simultaneously, so that there is no interruption to power delivery during shifting. Incidentally,
all this happens in less than a hundred milliseconds – just as fast as a racing driver. The driver can choose from four transmission modes: ‘C’ (Controlled Efficiency), ‘S’
(Sport), ‘S+’ (Sport plus) and ‘M’ (Manual). The Race Start function facilitates maximum acceleration from standstill. So if you should ever find yourself unable to resist
a race track, there’s plenty of scope for challenging the laws of physics.
