Me too, but that is not a turbo trait, you can have peak torque at redline on a turbo engine.

Well 3 liters and turbo with a goal of 450hp is not pushing the boat out is it? I would be impressed if BMW went 2.2-2.4 4 pot for that power.
Heck Mitsubishi Ralliart produced the EVO FQ-400 (405hp, 407ft.lb) about a decade ago, no direct injection, no modern turbo system, from 1997cc. 150bhp/turbo charged litre is more than a little disappointing.

Ugh.
