Are you sure it's not power you're talking about? What size is the engine? 6.0litres?

The new MB V12's are twin turbo, and yes, those numbers are right(for the AMG variant, at least)

Ok so you're talking about the engines in mercedes which have forced induction - because you can't change torque output on a naturally aspirated engine like that.

You know you can detune Naturally Aspirated engines. It's called heads that flow air poorly compared to the tuned ones and less compression. Along with ECU's that dont allow enough fuel/air, throttle bodies that arent as big, restrictive exhaust systems, smaller fuel pumps, smaller injectors, A/C, power steering, big stereo systems and neon.

Yeah but it's very hard to change the amount of peak torque in an engine - just see if you can find a n/a engine that doesn't produce around 70lbft/litre.

OK fair enough - but that BMW engine isn't far off a race engine and has German precision engineering on its side. Regardless it's not a million miles from 70lb ft/litre and certainly not the difference between "over 1000ft/lbs" and "738".
