Try to give you a very basic concept...
Let's use the AMG 5.4L Kompressor engine.
I have this engine in a 2005 G55K.
It drives thorugh an automatic transmission and three ( front, center, rear ) differentials.
The same engine in a 2005 E55 drives through an automatic transmission and the rear differential.
The additional power transmission items in the G55K drive train create more loss then the lesser number of items in the E55.
Simply put the same engine with more losses will not rev as freely as the engine with less drive train/chassis losses.
