Drivetrain loss

Hello Everyone.

eventually i wanted to put a carbonfiber driveshaft and some forged lighter wheels on the car, it will certainly be a good weight reduction(unsprung weight too) but will it improve the drivetrain loss? I noticed that C63 has a larger drivetrain loss compare to other cars I believe that is because of the MCT.

but does reducing drivetrain weight improves the WHP since it is lighter to rotate and move all the drivetrain parts .....

if you guys get what i meant...

It will effect the inertia, but not the power/torque delivered.
