Because the diesel make the torque much lower in the rpm band they have to have much more to make the horsepower.
The computation for torque doesn't include time so means nothing, it is just a number used to compute horsepower, which does include time, which is what we are concerned about, how much work in what amount of time. I live in time for now:).
Torque of itself has meaning in a static setting only, or potential. Horsepower includes torque in time.
You could have 10 million ft. lbs. of torque, but if no horsepower, then means nothing because it is not doing work in time, which we exist.
On top of this you can compare the different fuels, VE, rpm bands, rear gears, trannys, cost. And decide, what's in our wallet?
I ran this through google translate and still came up with nothing...
