Curious: Engine Differences V8 S vs V8 R (2014-2015)
Apologies in advance if the topic was already directly discussed, but I found no search results.
What is different about the 2014-2015 V8 R 550HP motor compared to the V8 S 495HP motor to account for the +55HP? Anything mechanical or internal? Boost? The ECU tune?
Thanks

Thanks for that info Harris.
In the meantime, I reached out to Velocity AP, as I noticed their ECU tuner is advertised as boosting the 495/510/550/575hp 5L V8s to 605hp. They claim the engines are mechanically the same, and it is the ECU tune accounts for the various hp ratings.
