what is the downshift blip that the c63 has.

 

i would have to say its a rev-match when you downshift.

 

in lemans terms???

 

Test drive a C63 and find out.

 

like le Mans, the 24 hour race? lol

the computer hits the gas as it were, as you brake, to better match revs between engine and gearbox. like the way you can in a manual. it means the car is more stable under brakes as the torque from the engine doesnt engine brake the rear.

 

when downshifting, you're going from a taller gear to a shorter gear, therefore, even if you maintain a set speed, your engine needs to spin faster to match the gearing difference.

For example, you're cruising at 50mph in 7th. You want to merge so you downshift. Your RPM's will need to go from 1,500 (just as an example) to 3,000. In a normal car, it would shove you into the gear and the momentum of the car would force the engine to spin faster. Instead, the C63 matches engine revs to the car's speed during a downshift, producing a fluid gear change and an intoxicating noise.

 

Music to my ears... Cant wait for my C63 to arrive. Im going waiting.

 

thank you good sir!

:-)

 

Here is another way to think about it. In my C32 if I shift down at higher revs the car lunges/jerks a little bit when making the shift down. In the C63 the transition is smooth with no lunging.

 

intoxicating noise.

thank you good sir!
lol

 

intoxicating noise.

well done.

 

if you had a manual, a blip would be used in between your heal toe downshift....to REV-MATCH...
