Cough, cough, JLR 4.6 that was 3.5 to start with, cough, cough.

I don't know about which engine we will get but here are a couple of screen shots from a BMW drag race

All this tuning torque/talk
Do they want power or torque?
They aren't the same and you can't maximally optimise both.

Don't say that around the 6.4 liter (392 cubic inches) Hemi V8 found in the Jeep Wrangler: 475 horsepower and 475 lb. ft. of torque. 😁

I'm not saying you can't improve both torque and hp , but you can't improve them both optimally each. If that makes sense!
If you want rear wheel torque, maybe gearing is what works best whilst optimising longevity.
If you want to tow a petrol station and impress everyone , buy a Lamborghini LM002!

A high torque engine just produces its power at a lower rpm. It is all about power in the end. The IG petrol engine requires about 20% more rpm than the diesel, to produce the same power. Behind an auto transmission (this is important), the torque to the wheels becomes the same. So the argument of power and torque become mute. The amount of torque you can provide to your wheels is directly proportional to the engine power, not the engine torque.

Now the rpm of the B58 in the IG, has had the max rpm reduced. We are told this is in the interest of longevity. Also, generally a Diesel engine of the same capacity as a petrol needs more turbo boost to gain the same power. So probably the diesel will have more turbo lag than the petrol. Turbo lag can be a real pain on rough tracks.

The diesel has got two turbos to compensate the turbo lag.

There is something about petrol and diesel owners, they will always beg to differ...but it looks like diesel is the clear choice here in Australia by 80% to 20% why? it just could be all torque;)

Yes, I am in the 80% but not just torque wise but we have spoken about the factors here before and they are all real and the reasons I have not driven a petrol 4WD for now 45 years. It is not an explosion in your engine but a burn that powers your pistons...happy motoring

The diesel is a twin sequential compound diesel with low pressure and high pressure turbos

My intention was not to compare diesel and petrol, but rather torque v power. Engine torque is great for a manual, but makes no difference in an auto. An auto trans produces your wheel torque from power alone. That power is produced by a proportional combination of torque and rpm. Power is what accelerates your vehicle, whether it be towing, hill climbing or even towing. A more powerful engine will do it quicker.
