From the beginning, AMG has pioneered the development of high-performance automatic transmissions. Our latest version is a heavily modified, driver-adapted 5-speed automatic.
Known as SpeedShift (tm), the considerable power of an AMG engine is delivered through a driver-adapted 5-speed combining the convenience of an automatic with the dynamic action and control of a manual transmission.
AMG SpeedShift performs 35% faster, more responsive gear changes, can automatically perform double-downshifts under heavy braking, will hold a specific gear through hard cornering, and automatically selects the optimum gear to ensure maximum acceleration when overtaking others.
A lighter torque converter that locks in all forward gears is another innovative feature of SpeedShift. AMG SpeedShift is currently available on the C 32 AMG, SLK 32 AMG and the 2003 SL 55 AMG, CL 55 AMG, and
CLK 55 AMG Coupe and S 55 AMG.
Fingertip manual mode, a Formula 1 style shifting system, is one more feature found on many of AMG's SpeedShift transmissions.
