The Bentley is cool I guess. Status-wise, it is an upgrade over the CLS. I don't know if I would prefer it over the AMG though. I never understood the appeal of the Bentley brand. To me it's like a Jaguar against an Aston Martin. If you want a car like that, I'd buy a Rolls Royce. But cool car nonetheless.
What I have a question about though and what caught my attention is this:
I don't think I've ever noticed that in the rear the caliper being on the 'inside' of the rotor. On all the AMGs I've had and my family has had, the caliper in the rear has always been on the 'outside' of the rotor.
Like so:
What gives? Can you put the caliper on either side? I'm curious..

Interesting....never knew that . Has it ever been tested as to which position has greater stopping power? Is it the same for the front calipers as well? Cool info

Don't think it can be swapped on your car just because the SL has it that way. The suspension knuckles are probably different.
