Cycle & Carriage - The C-Class Coupè

Right down to the smallest detail

Perfect coordination with the various engines of the Coupé of the C-Class: The two transmission systems for the new C-Class Coupé deliver optimum pulling power across all engine speed ranges and in every driving situation.

6-speed manual transmission The 6-speed manual transmission has particularly precise and short shift travel. As a result, gear-changing is a sheer delight. The 6-speed manual transmission delivers particularly good acceleration values even in demanding driving situations. In addition, the integral gearshift recommendation function, the current consumption indicator and the ECO start/stop function all contribute towards optimising fuel consumption.
7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission[1] The new consumption and efficiency-optimised 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission features a compellingly lowered fuel consumption, extremely gentle gearshifts and a reduced noise level. Seven forward gears: wider overall spacing between bottom and top gear but also less spacing between one gear and the next make for a more comfortable driving experience. Optimum engine speed: the result - lower fuel consumption and virtually imperceptible gearshifts. Powerful torque: multiple downshifting allows for quick bursts of speed. A new generation of torque converter: increased useful life, further reduction in noise levels and a more dynamic response thanks to innovative transmission technology. Lower fuel consumption: the ECO start/stop function temporarily switches off the engine at stop lights and in traffic. Comfortable or sporty: The driver can use a switch in the centre console to pre-select one of the two customised driving modes: "E" (economic) and "S" (sport). In conjunction with the optional steering wheel gearshift paddles, a third mode is added to these for even faster gearshifting: the "M" (manual) transmission mode.
AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission (optional) In the new C 63 AMG the optimised AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission ensures more power transmission to the rear wheels. The high-tech transmission provides a combination of unique functions which allows the driver to enjoy a great deal of freedom. Overview of the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission highlights: Aluminium gear shift paddles to the left and right of the AMG Performance steering wheel Gear-changing without any interruptions to tractive power Particularly fast multiple downshift capability Automatic double-declutching function Four individual transmission modes: Controlled Efficiency "C" for consumption-optimised driving; "S" (Sport), "S+" (Sport Plus) and "M" (Manual) for enhanced driving pleasure and dynamic flair. Additionally there is the race start function. Gear changes in less than 100 milliseconds are possible thanks to partial cut-off of individual cylinders when changing up.
