nature of the beast.. gas engines make hp at high rpm. only way to reduce rpm and keep power is with a turbo or two like the ecoboost.. which is anything but eco.
Not necessarily. An engines stroke length and cam profile has a lot to do with when it reaches peak torque as well. The old Ford I6 300(4.9L) made peak torque at 1,600 rpms and later models did at 2,000 spm due to it's almost 4 inch stroke. Truck variants of the Chevy 350(5.7L) made peak torque at 2,400 rpm due to their cam profile.
Naturally aspirated under square bored engines has a lot to do with it as well.
