never saw this, but after reading it said Europe gets it first in the E, then for the CLS over in europe. I havent heard anything for the AMG's, i dont think they will be putting a 9 speed in the AMG, this will probably be for the 550

Having a DCT would also mean the end to those interested in tuning since a DCT would not be able to handle anything higher than the upper 500's lb-ft of twisting force. DCT is a plus to lighter cars but a negative to heavier cars like the E.

I disagree. Just look at the GTR scene and there are many examples of DCTs handling well in excess of 600 lb-ft of torque.

True, but at the expense of reliability to the DCT units when exposed to that level of torque. I only go for oem tune and I don't plan on keeping these types of cars outside of warranty so I'm not worrying about it. As a result, I also wish for a DCT on the next model change.

Likewise, the MCT is able to handle a lot since it is based on the same transmission but with a clutch pack.
I guess car transmission is like bicycle with more and more rear cogs added over the years and the whole thing eventually looking like a pine cone.

the e350 and e63 have the same transmission except
the e350 uses a torque converter and the e63 uses 2 clutch packs instead

Not sure it will get the same transmission or not, but the 9g-tronic is rated to handle 738 ft/lbs of torque. Exactly the same output as the 6.0 V12 biturbo. Coincidence? My spidey sense says probably not. It seems to have been designed with AMG in mind. They'll probably call it the 9g-tronic speedshift or something like that as they did with the 5 speed and the original 7g-tronic.

More of the same. Slow shifting. Who cares if it has 5,7 or 9 speeds. It isn't like AMG owners care about fuel economy. We just want fast shifts.
I would rather have a 6-speeds and DCT shift speeds than 10 speed that gets me 5% better economy.
Get me the 6 speed or 8 speed ZF and forget the MCT / DCT bull****.

Unless case is identical, I'd be surprised of they'd put 9G in end of cycle car. Certainly without it being in other AMG's too that are younger in cycle, or just MB's, new S, new C, mainline C. Plus it seems they're throttling M157 back some, so blowing 7G vs. 9G on street just requires bigger dustpan.
Maybe A727 would fit?
