High HP/displacement simply eludes to small displacement high revving engines which all inherently lack torque. The 6.2 AMG engine may not make 100hp/L, but it certainly makes significantly more torque and has a much broader power band. You see 100hp/L as some kind of significant achievement. I see it as a really high strung engine that you have to wring the shit out of in order for it to perform. Big displacement AMG engines allow for a much more usable power band in a package that is much less stressed.
