The new Mercedes-AMG C 43 4MATIC - AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9G transmission with wet starting clutch and AMG Performance 4MATIC

Power is transmitted via the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9G transmission (MCT = Multi-Clutch Transmission), in which a wet starting clutch replaces the torque converter . It reduces the weight and, thanks to its lower mass inertia, optimizes the response to commands from the accelerator pedal, especially when sprinting and changing loads. The elaborately coordinated software ensures extremely short shift times and, if necessary, fast multiple downshifts. In addition, the double-declutching function in the "Sport" and "Sport+" driving programs provides a particularly emotional shifting experience. In addition, the RACE START function is applied, which guarantees optimal acceleration from a standing start. In the "Comfort" drive program, the ECO start/stop function is automatically activated, the "glide" function can be activated in "Individual". The AMG Performance 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive features an AMG-specific power distribution between the front and rear axles of 31 to 69 percent. The rear-biased design ensures increased driving dynamics including higher lateral acceleration and improved traction when accelerating
