Big displacement AMG engines allow for a much more usable power band in a package that is much less stressed.

I cant believe people are still stuck in the 100hp/liter mentality. I'd take a bigger displacement engine that make useable power and torque throughout the rev band over a smaller, high strung, ticking time bomb engine that needs to be revved super high in order to make any power with a gutless bottom end.
