![]() The new E63's torque split is continuously variable depending on what the car needs, hence the somewhat clumsy descriptor, 4Matic+. The last E63 we got was also AWD, but it had a fixed torque split with 33 percent to front axle and 67 percent to the rear. The transmission sends power to two output shafts, as all E63s are all-wheel drive. AMG claims that the new nine-speed gearbox is a touch lighter than the seven-speed one it replaces. There is, however, a wet clutch that replaces the torque converter. That MCT stands for multiclutch technology even though there's actually only one traditional clutch. Fans of the previous E63 will note that the old transmission was a seven-speed MCT. A new nine-speed transmission known as the AMG Speedshift MCT is bolted to the potent V-8.
