its supposed to have a drift mode with awd system similar to ford focus RS, but no news yet if it just a novelty where you put it in "drift mode" and do burnouts in the parking lot and then put it back into normal awd mode with fixed ratio or if it will actually vector 100% of power to the rear during normal driving when car senses it can.

I'm not concerned with liters as much as I am with MBs inability to put out a transmission that makes driving an AMG a pleasure. Trying to take off in S or S+ smoothly is almost impossible or lucky at best. And I won't even get into trying to launch these. I just can't believe it's harder to drive this car smoothly than my last two supercharged 55s. An M or RS car will likely be my next purchase.

Pretty sure you can drift in the w212 Amg -- dyno mode

I'm thinking the new 9-speedy tranny will make a big difference on the new E63. I'm in a 17' E300 loaner right now while my car's getting serviced and it's the highlight of this car. Which, i know, will be completely different in the 63 application, but it's a really smooth transmission. Hopefully they can figure out the lag issue(which is one of the things my car is in for.)

My '14 AMG wagon vs my 6.2ltr AMG wagon is FAR better in every way. Perhaps except for lack of traction in a launch.

You must be kidding. If you didn't have so many posts here, I'd assume you're a troll. And then you say "my next car will be M or RS???" What a goon... you know what the night and day difference is between them? Or how an RS is more like the AMG than anything?

Love it how chiro makes a very appropriate and pertinent statement that many of us agree with -- and then you call him a "goon"
He makes a comment about the drivetrain and driveability of the AMG, this is a BIG deal and one that affects you every time you accelerate from a stop. Glad you're the resident expert on all cars produced, will look forward to your highly informative posts next time.

but to my defense i dont try to start poo poo, i just let people know when i dont agree with something (that the italian in me lol), but i try to keep it fact based as opposed to this guy that just randomly calls someone a "goon" and immediately making it personal.... i try to keep it fact based until someone insults me personally then i will return on a personal level

More information, not much, but a bit more. So it was so supposed to debut at Paris early Oct 16, now looks like Detroit early Jan 17.

I would not go ///M, they can't figure out how to do connecting rod bearings after several generations of problems with said component. I just had mine done! I hear the DCT 7 speed is the most superior transmission in this class though.

I've tried it in the Macan Turbo and thought it was a great gearbox. Way better than the very good and ubiquitous ZF 8 speed torque converter automatic. The PDK II will be in the next Panamera and will sport 8 forward gears.

The drivability of the W212 transmission is far better than the earlier gen E63, and to date as good as anything else I've driven on varied road conditions.
