it isnt a chrylser engine or mercedes engine.. Yet

Its an AMG (mercedes) engine.. it was designed for chrylser for the ME 412.. but mercedes will probably use it in their cars
it didnt "come out" of anything.. but mercedes did design it

I could entirely be wrong, they may have used it before.... But as far as I've heard and read, they started designing the engine for the chrysler..

I found this c&p on a site just now on a chrylser website.. doesnt really say much though..

"The engine is from AMG, with 850 bhp @ 5750 rpm, with 850 lb-ft. (1150 N-m) of torque between 2500 and 4500 rpm on premium unleaded fuel. It was reportedly designed for Chrysler, but will probably be used by Mercedes in other applications (we'd expect it to appear in the Vision and perhaps the McLaren SLR). Use of the AMG engine was dictated largely by the need for high power with light weight (around 500 lb) and at reasonable development cost"
