It seems like Mahle is trying to get in the American Market. I think the cost is low because nobody rebuilding a SBC or Ford is going to pay $200/piston. I don't understand how part volume, quality, or difficulty is much different for a Mahle Porsche piston or a Mahle SBC piston. Mahle already has the tooling and history making Porche pistons I can't see why it would be cheaper for them to build pistons for American engines. Just think how many sizes and combinations of pistons there are for a SBC.
I think it comes down to competition, Mahle has the market for Porsche pistons and not for American muscle.
