Power is transferred to the wheels via AMG’s SpeedShift 7G-Tronic automatic transmission, with the driver able to switch gears with a pair of paddle-shifters behind the wheel. The gearbox has three different levels of comfort, ‘C’,’S’ and ‘M’ modes, and there’s also a new feature that automatically blips the throttle when downshifting.
The AMG high-performance braking system consists of large internally ventilated and perforated disc brakes, which reside within five-spoke 18in wheels shod with 255mm rubber at the back and small 235mm tires in the front. If 18in isn’t enough, AMG offer a larger 19in set of their light-alloy wheels as an option. Click here to read our previous story on the C63 saloon.
