You have to make a choice: high revs with a flat-plane race engine like the S65 or arbitrary displacement (and thus, horsepower and torque) with a cross-plane like the S62.
It is not a coincidence that the M3 and the Ferraris use cross-plane engines. If you want torque, buy a C63 AMG.

Are you kidding? Your post isn't even internally consistent. The S65 is a cross-plane engine, like domestic muscle cars and the C63 AMG. Ferraris use flat-plane engines.
