Update from AMG Pro/GT3 testing event
Guys,
Pressed for time but thought I would do quick post of some new products displayed at AMG Pro/GT3 Team testing over last 2 days in Paul Ricard.
CF drivetrain and racing brakes. I will do full report post later on.

FYI: probably not the same as the one on display but cool none the less.
AMG has seen fit to design a new seven-speed transaxle gearbox for the SLS. Mounted at the rear axle and encompassing the differential, the new gearbox is a dual-clutch automated manual transmission that will shift gears by itself or at the driver’s command. This is unlike the MCT unit in the SL63 AMG, which is a variation of Merc’s seven-speed automatic that uses a planetary gearset and a clutch pack instead of a fluid torque converter. Connecting the engine to the rear-mounted transaxle is a torque tube housing a lightweight carbon-fiber composite driveshaft
