W212 E63 will have wet clutch like new SL
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!
