Hi
My son has an audi a4 and it has 211 hp..the Z has 330 hp yet the ft lbs of torque for the audi is 258 while the torque for the Z is only a bit more 270..120 more horses and only 12 ft lbs difference?
How can that be?

also I thought the bigger the displacement the more torque in the lower end but the audi has only 2 liter displacement while the z has 3.7 yet the audi's max torque is said to be between 4300- 6000 rep while the Z says its max torque is achieved at 5200 rpm..

Can anyone explain this?

Thanks
