All those cars, except the veyron, have right at 500 ft/lbs or less of torque. The veyron's DCT is a special build and heavily reinforced. It's big, heavy, and costs more than an entire C63 all by itself. The practical limit for a DCT for us paupers is 500 ft/lbs of torque with current technology.

I would suspect so. The RS7 puts out about 520 ft/lbs with it's 4.0tt v8. Also keep in mind they plan to replace the 5.5tt with this one in the other models with higher output. It probably wouldn't make financial sense to develop 2 transmissions for the same engine even if the C did come in at 500 or less tq. You wouldn't want to get one and then run into a tuning wall with the DCT limitations if that were the case anyway.

Please think for yourself and stop spreading ridiculous misinformation.

The Audi S6 is running a DCT.
The GTR DCT has a RETAIL cost, with NO core, of $11,000 and we all know GTR's are running 800-1500hp through that DCT.
There is NO excuse for the C63 IF if does not get a DCT.

This is BULLSH#T.

I am SO tired of reading stupid posts like these.

The Alpha 9 GTRs with 900hp still only produce a hair above 500 ft/lbs torque. The GTRs producing big power are not running the stock transmission.
HP has nothing to do with how much the transmission can handle. TQ is the limiting factor. Do some reseach.

The S6 also only produces 406 ft/lbs or torque. Not a whole lot. The RS6 does not use a DCT despite having the same engine as it produces more power and the DCT isn't up to the task.

GTR only makes a hair over 500 with an alpha 9, eh?
You just proved to everyone here that you are COMPLETELY CLUELESS.
To those who have no idea what you're talking about, please stop trying to argue with me because I will expose you and your false info online.
If the SLS and a 4,400lb S7 can run a DCT, AMG can give the 3,900lb C63 a DCT. Don't even get me started on what tuned versions are running though their DCT without issues.
Don't even get me started on what a stock GTR DCT can do, let along a Bugatti and 911 Turbo's DCT.

Again, the SLS and S6 don't produce a lot of torque so they can get away with using a DCT. I had a 911 turbo with the PDK and it was tuned. I know what it's capable of. It also had transmission problems after I tuned it and ran it hard. Common for for the tuned turbos running the DCT.

Nice try, but that car that is not using the stock transmission. Again, please look before doing a cut and paste.

You're funny, kid.
Don't try to back peddle.
You have no credibility because I already exposed you.
Give up your pathetic argument.
The 2015 C63 is a GROUND UP REDESIGN, so there is NO excuse IF the C63 doesn't get a DCT.

Back pedal? You're trying to say a GTR can put all this torque through its DCT by providing an example with a car that specificaly doesn't use it? You just exposed yourself. I don't need to provide any excuses. AMG has already provided the reasoning for not using one.

Bugatti and Shep Transmissions have been running DCTs that can reliably take X,XXX hp and torque for years.
The C63 is a entirely new car with ground up redesign.
There are no excuses.
AMG can build a 3,900lb C63 with a DCT.
Trying to say anything else makes you look like a fool.

Wow September such a long way off! I guess we can look forward to more leaks by the summer though. This car is shaping up to be extremely epic!

Ignore him, he's just trolling. It's already been confirmed the next C63 will not have a DCT or AWD. It's also been confirmed the US C63 will be built in Alabama with the engines being built in germany and shipped over to be installed. Not sure how I feel about that.

Yah...and how many tranny's snapped that first year...no GTR sold anywhere in 2009 for $63K
I'm at a loss for your blind stupidity...you used the example of a Ferrari costing $200k to compare to a $68K C63

So, the same people who openly insult me, go crying to the mods like little b#tches, and I get an infraction and they don't ?????
I'm not going to waste anymore time on here if you girls are going to play like that.
Hopefully, I'll be back in September to praise the new C63 and place my order.
If not, I'll make sure to revisit the girls in this thread and point out how the new C63 is a failure.
Enjoy your ugly interiors and pathetic and obsolete transmissions in the meantime.
