2006 C55 AMG, 2010 Genesis Coupe
Article claims that it will produce up to 664lbs of torque yet still be mated to the 7 speed. This is very strange considering the E55 was never given that tranny due to concerns with the torque being just over 500 lbs. I guess the wet clutch setup of the MCT solves the weak link (torque converter). This new motor and MCT tranny will not ever be found in a $60,000 car.
The company I work for developed a new technology for image detectors and after 3yrs it was cheaper for us to produce the new technology than the old way we had been doing it for the last 35yrs. At first we made extra profit on the product because everyone wanted the new technology and it demanded a premium, but as time has eveloved it is now making its way into the entry level products. Everyone wins , the customer gets a better product and the company makes more money.
I would love to have the mct in my car though.

Except it uses stop-start technology to achieve it.

Sure did and it was a great morning....
2005 saw the debut of the AMG 6.3-litre V8 engine known as the M 156. Depending on the model, this naturally aspirated, high-revving unit develops up to 386 kW (525 hp) and 630 newton metres.
5.5TT with performance package has 571 hp. In this case the eight-cylinder delivers 875 newton metres of torque at just 2000 rpm, with a constant 900 newton metres available between 2500 and 3750 rpm
A 30% increase and when coupled with a 300 lb weight reduction and easy mods, well you can imagine.

The TT set up will be great but I believe tuning will be VERY difficult if/when ever accomplished. The manufacturers are doing a great job of keeping expert tuners out of the ECU. Many tuners are still seeking ways into the newer programs with no success. Thats why piggy back set ups are having to be used in many cases and that usually creates nightmares.
Remember that with L/T headers and a matching tune you will be making the same HP with less torque than the new TT. However, put in a heads and cam combination and the new TT will be left behind.

Where did you see a 300 lb weight reduction? The article on Edmunds says the new 5.5 actuall weighs more than the current 6.2 engine (all the plumbing I suppose....), and I'm trying to remember the last time a new model from Benz, BMW, or Audi wieghed less than the previous version. That's why we keep getting the horsepower increases, cause the cars keep getting heavier.

They need top put a all wheel drive version of the cars equiped with the 5.5 tt engine if they want to put all that power and torque down and not just spin the rear wheels IMO.
