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.

Sweet!!

The Brembo GT brakes and CF driveshaft looks yummy!

What is that CF driveshaft for?; the SLS GT3 race car?? That thing is bad a$$

I thought the standard SLS uses a c/f drive shaft back to the rear transaxle already?

The driveshaft is off the GT3 and weighs in at 7kg or so.

That I have no idea about. These were the products that were on display with the GT3 so I assumed they were designated for GT3 only but I could be wrong.

LZH

I assume you are referring to the SLS GT3, correct?

harrower

That is correct

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
