Volkswagen Touareg - Road Tests

It's got more torque than a Viper, can pull a 7 tonne Combine Harvester and has a V10 engine. Not bad for a diesel.

what an engine...

[cheloo]

wrong, it's made for torque

[TacticalGunGuy]

@cheloo F1 V8s make about 850BHP but only have ~150lb-ft of torque...HP = torque * RPM. You can't make Power without torque.

[cheloo]

You lost the idea.

A diesel engine will always develop more torque than power. This thing means that a diesel engine is made for torque.

power(BHP) is just torque times RPM, so to have torque is also to have power. cant have one without the other

Just makes me laugh my head off 0:36 to 0:40 ! Just one of the best reporter I've ever known, funny !!

so you can have 10000 hp but if you don't have torque it's zero.

diesel engine is made for torque not for power so it can drag heavy things.

in german "power" as an english word is sometimes used for the meaning of torque ;) but the power depends on torque, so what ^^

Not bad for a diesel? Diesel is made for power!
