What are the advantages/disadvantages of high displacement engines like that of the corvette/viper vs. a high revving engine like that of a Ferrari, I've allways wondered this.

"AMG 6.3-litre V8 engine is the first in the world to combine the high-revving concept with a large displacement"
Interesting, but I think they need to look into Oldsmobiles success with hi revving large displacement engines.
Is 8500rpms from 7 liters enough?
...
Yeah, but if I get it right it did not make it into production, did it? So MB is still the first to do this...
The reason Mercedes is declaring it as a 6.3 litre engine is their reference to the 70ies' S-class with 6.3 litre-V8 (W108?)! That car was faster than the majority of sportscars.

It produces 550 hp and 485 ft/lbs. Officially clocked at 210 mph.
