Even the PTG team is not using the m3 6) There is no replacement for displacement (except FI of course)
BTW, drove a Ford GT this weekend.. holy crap, what a beast...

Audi's
petrol V12 is the 6.0L W10, it makes 450hp.
If American engines are built so tough, hell they should be able to rev higher esp considering that they're close to square (they're actually a tad oversquare). What about a BMW engine do you think makes it high stressed? There's no replacement for displacement only when one can't find efficiency.
