S600 4-matic ?

Does anyone know if they are going to make a S600 4-matic. I have a S500 4- matic loaded on order but would love to have the extra hp. I would like to have the S55 but there is no 4-matic offered and this is my family car and I need the 4 wheel drive for my steep driveway!

Nope, 4-Matic won't be offered on the V12 models. Only the S500 and S430 are getting 4-Matic.

Let's hope that the S600 gets in the future the 4-matic. It would be a pretty cool ride with 4-matic and 500 hp. Btw. Isn't the new model of MB, as high in class as S, coming out with 4-matic?

international MB website has 4 matic available on all V6 and V8 models.

so you might hope for an S55 4matic
although i think that might be rare on this side of the pond.

There will never be 4-Matic on an AMG.
