I think you're getting ahead of yourself. Theoretically a hybrid powertrain can output more but just because it can, doesn't mean that it will. The RS5, M3/M4 and C63 will all have specs within each other to make it competitive.
Apples/Apples, the M177 V8 in the W205 C63 with 2 more cylinders and higher displacement should be able to output more than the S55 but at the end, what did Mercedes output with the M177? 469HP and 470 lb-ft vs. S55's 425HP and 406 lb-ft TQ. Higher, but not significantly higher.
