It seems as if this engine was focused more on NA delivery up to 270nm then the turbos add the frosting to the cake

I see that Ferrari copied the S65 and improved upon it in the 458 and that is a compliment

...but once again the explanation only talks around the actual details and they are keeping everything cryptic
I have gotten mixed messages on this forum, but is the S55 based off the N55? Some say it is, some say it's a whole new block, some say it shares a few parts.
