Outstanding drive is guaranteed by the new dynamics is developed AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-sports-speed transmission with column change, which makes it possible to change gear just 100 milliseconds.

Special coil measures the suspension and cooling

Racetrack optimal performance is guaranteed thanks to the special development of coil-over suspension, which can be customized to a specific racetrack of individuals means that suspension setup configuration. The combination of 3-stage ESP ® and after-axle differential lock with 30 percent of the work to provide optimal traction lock in all weather conditions. In the interests of reliability, even at tropical ambient temperatures, the vehicle combines large size, additional Coolers for engine oil, transmission oil, coolant and power steering.

Special measures for cooling and responsibilities of heavy-braking system

Front axles and the additional features 19-inch-light AMG forged light-alloy wheels. The 8/5-inch (front) and 9.5-inch (after) rims are fitted with tyres of size 255/35 and 285/30, respectively.
