Are there any C32 AMG stickshifts. with the clutch not triptronic.?

Answer 1

The last year of a C32 was 2004, the year in which I bought my car (2004 C230 Sports Sedan) which is a 6-speed manual. I love the car but it only has 189-HP and just as low torque. If you're set on manual you can get a C230 sports sedan and use after-market generation equipment to get an extra 60-80hp. Course that still won't get you to the 349hp of the real thing. I thought they made them in manual but since they are handbuilt engines and the last guy seems adamant maybe they didn't. I would check with a dealer

Answer 2

Nope, Mercedes has made a conscious decision to equip all AMG models with Speedshift automatic transmissions. Only the lower end, lower torque models are available with standard transmissions. Even the SLR has an automatic. This decision was made because AMG customers are not very interested in shifting for themselves, and the projected volumes for manual equipped C32's would not justify the cost of designing a new gearbox, as none of the current models can handle the torque of the 349 hp supercharged v6.

Answer 3

I'm also pretty sure there were a very small number of (if any- and it would've only been in Europe) AMG manuals... There are a few Non-AMG models that were given stickshifts in the states though.

190D
190E
190E 2.3-16v (About 1500) - These are collector cars at this point. They were created to compete with the E30 BMW M3 and feature some unique features like Recaro interior, self leveling suspension, body kit, and a tuned four cylinder.
240D
300E - (About 1500)

Answer 4

i dont think there was EVER an amg stickshift. = Why many performance drivers go with BMW. Mercedes believes using both feet is too much effort :)

Answer 5

I have driven and come a cross some older s500's and 190E's that were stick but not sure if amg... Thier stick cars dont feel tight either very soft / musshy feel similar to newer vw's.
