OT:VW Toureg Pulls B747

On city streets??   That was not a race at all, that was just driving fast.
Races are held on tracks, with classes/rules that must be adhered to.
The winner of a race is determined by many things....horsepower, not torque, is one of them.


"Torque wins races" is quoted (erroneously, I might add) by the person whose car is lacking horsepower.  :)


Are you aware of the relationship between torque and horsepower? 

As an example: Steam engines develop maximum torque at zero rpm.
You won't win many races with your engine turning zero rpm....

  When the TDI Touareg came out, the owner of the dealership drove one while a mechanic took out his GTI 1.8T 180 hp.  The race was on city streets.

   

  With that clue, which one won the race?
