Default MB SlS AMG Engine and 928 Engine use a similar Part

Mercedes Benz SLS AMG uses a torque tube and transaxle drive train system, similar to 928s. Below is a break down of the 6.3 SLS engine, can you identify a (one) structural engine component also used in a 928 engine.

My 1st thought was timing belt...but its a chain....the intake looks similar but doesn't have a helmholtz resonator? Then again neither of those are "structural" either & the AMG is a closed deck design?

If a natural aspirated V8 Aluminum Engine can produce 563HP, so can a 928.
