Not much else to report. Just that AMG boss still says HP wars are over for them and the gearbox will be a wet clutch.
AMG is going to do that by losing weight, installing tech like the SL63 AMG's wet clutch gearbox on the coming E63 AMG

**edit** Wasn't thinking about it, but wonder if wet clutch will stay when they TT them? THAT would be sweet.

After all the ill-informed jibes about SMGIII in the M5, it seems the E AMG crowd may finally see the light.

If Volker Mornhinweg said that one of the ways AMG will extract better performance is through weight savings, I am hopeful this will translate into better handling and vehicle dynamics. Not sure if this would make an AMG on part with an M car but I know Colin Chapman would agree with this approach!
