Bentley GT4door Vs S Class

Any thoughts? Bentley has 550HP V12 with all wheel drive shipping in April 2005 to U.S. Will S55 AMG ever come in 4matic?

Unhappy All Wheel Drive not likely right now!

As for the upcoming S55 with 600 hp, it may be possible. With the 04' and 03' models, I was told that due to the traction control, and air-ride systems, there is no room for the all wheel drive system. The shocks are so large, and take up so much space in the current body, it is not currently possible.
