as with any awd understeer is probably more pronounced but the advantage of being able to put all the power that the tuners are going to bring to it without having to drive around on drag radials is well worth that small con

Andrew, what do you do for a living? Does it have anything to do with drawing/design or do you just like drawing and are good at it then missed your calling to put it to good use?

The article mentioned that the AMG 4WD system will differ from the traditional 4MATIC system by having a permanent 67/33 (rear/front) torque split.....no extra clutches or complex torque biasing system. I'm sure simplifying the system adds a lot of strength and durability and shaves pounds too...

In the ongoing HP war, traction is key. A 4WD platform sounds like an awfully smart move to me.

Kind of a long story....
As a kid i use to draw everything....I won scholarships to at least five schools. I went to school for Architecture, got my degree, and my license to practice in Florida.
Right out of school i was travelling the country doing renderings of a living. It was a skill that was high in demand. I use to charge anywhere from $1500 to $5000 a pop for a illustration. Some took 40 hours to do
I use to teach commercial illustration to students using marker, colored pencil, graphite sticks. Ive had my work published nationwide.

Anyways i got bored with illustration, Its impossible for me to sit at a desk for a few hours at a time. I lost the drive to do the stuff i use to do.

I changed careers a while back and work for a major developer now.

I'm sure the ESP firmware will take care of OS and US. Probably will be adjustable.
