you can have a closer gear ratio with having so many gears.  THis probably is what makes the car quicker at the low end. and smoother between gears.

They probably have a real high ratio as #7 for cruising speed.

The real question is:

DOES IT HAVE NOS?

Ps- imagine if the tranny fails.  It\'ll probably be the cost of a new car since only Mercedes can work on it.
