What are the fastest 4 door, AWD MB's?
I am doing some research and just trying to find out what the fastest 4 door, 4matic mercedes models are.

Most (all?) of the AMG's are rear wheel drive only (no 4matic option)

In that case it has to be E550 4Matic,at least until the new V8TT is available in the S/CL550 4Matic later in 2011.

So there was no bigger engine available than the 380hp v8 for 4matic models?

There was no "bigger engine" available for ANY Mercedes, 2wd or 4wd, save for AMG engines and the V12. No V12 4Matics.

2002 W210 E55T AMG 4Matic (354HP)

2007 W251 R63AMG 4Matic (510HP)

And of course... ML, G, GL,...

Also Brabus works with 4Matic.

The W210 noted not sold in USA.

No GL AMGs of course.

So, no sedans in USA.

Each drivetrain is a separate EPA certification and demand for an AMG 4Matic sedan is not enough to cover that cost.
