The transmission will be an 8-speed single-clutch automated manual transmission variant (similar to the type of transmission used in modern Formula One cars), and will deliver the bulk of the engine power and torque to the rear wheels. The use of a single-clutch over a dual-clutch transmission was due to AMG's engineers wanting to keep the car light and due to concerns over the dual-clutch's ability to handle the high-revving V6 ICE.[17]
