MC Auto Shift VS MC Shift
MC AUTO SHIFT AUTOMATIC GEARBOX With the ZF 6-speed automatic gearbox and hydraulic torque converter, the GranTurismo Sport delivers a relaxed driving experience - but without compromising performance. The transmission, developed from that of the Quattroporte Sport GT S, runs the MC Auto Shift software and allows the driver to select between five modes: Auto Normal, Auto Sport, Manual Normal, Manual Sport and ICE. The MC Auto Shift function operates in a variety of ways, depending on the situation. In Manual mode, changes can be made right up to the point when the limiter cuts in, whilst in Manual Sport and Auto Sport modes, electronic double declutching is possible when downshifting. In Auto Sport mode, with the MSP system deactivated, the high performance MC Start Strategy is enabled. To use it, the driver simply holds the car on the footbrake, presses down on the accelerator pedal, and does not release the brake until the engine has reached around 2,300 – 2,500 rpm. This results in the car rocketing from 0-62 mph in just 4.8 seconds.
MC SHIFT ELECTRO-ACTUATED GEARBOX The higher performance version of the GranTurismo Sport features a 6-speed robotic sequential gearbox, with a twin dry plate clutch. This race-derived transmission delivers a more immediate gearbox response and enhances the vehicle’s dynamics. The electro-actuated gearbox includes the innovative MC Shift gearchange software, which is activated by pressing the SPORT button on the dashboard in Manual mode. Thanks to partially overlapping shifting phases, the MC Shift system reduces gearchange times to no more than 100 milliseconds - for a thoroughly engaging and entertaining drive.
