The W205 AMG will have a DCT. So will the replacement for the outgoing SLS.
Just like how the C63 AMG and SLS AMG shared the same engine (although the SLS had a more aggressive tune and some upgraded forged intenerals), both the next-generation C-Class AMG and the next-generation SLS will share the same 4.0L biturbo V8.
