New 9-G Tronic Transmission coming on 2017 C63 Models??
Hi Guys,
New in the forum. Ordered a 2016 C63s Coupe supposed to be arriving on early June. I was watching some reviews on youtube for the car and saw that there is a new 9 Speed Transmission coming for most of the MB lineup. I would like to know if this transmission will also replace the 7G SpeedShift MCT on the C63? Possibly coming with the 2017 models? If so..I should have waited for 2017 models..

I think 9 speed is excessive for a sports car of this kind.

Had a long in depth discussion with a MB branch manager not so long ago who recently arrived back from Affalterbach AMG head quarters and according to him YES a 9spd MCT variant of the new 9GTronic is on its way for latter production block C63's.
He said that AMG had put in a staggering amount of R&D to assess the best possible number of gears and ratios spread for future performance transmissions and a 9 speed was the definitive result...
We already know the new AMG E63's will have a 9spd MCT and AWD, I think that's obvious enough as to what latter C63's will also feature

I might be in the minority here, but I really hope they maintain the C63 as RWD only. I feel like the RWD setup defines the car's character. I don't mind the E63's switch to AWD...but they need to make sure the C63 stays the power sliding, tire smoking hooligan of the bunch.

I wrapped my M3's roof with 3M's carbon wrap too! I just want an authentic carbon roof that not only lowers the cars weight and center of gravity, but also looks really good because it'll be shiny. Oh well, I'm sure the Black Series will offer it.

My guess is that the 's' designation will become the one man one engine 'real AMG' identification and AMG will be more of the top of the sport (luxury v. sports trims) version of the MBs across the board.

Relating to the thread... I personally think 9 gears in a transmission are just too much. It just doesn't make the seem like a performance vehicle, and makes it seem more like a economy car.
