What I'm saying here, is why go back to the drawing board- and create an all new engine if the 4.9 L S62 is lighter than the 4.0L S65 with comparable horsepower and more torque?
I think the S65 exists primarily because the S85 came before it. If there was no S85, it would be interesting what engine the e9x would have.
