This may be because they couldn't maintain 400Nm from low RPMs and still make the engine reliable enough for track racing, so torque limiting at lower RPMs was necessary (not that it would matter on the track but it does matter on the street). Or maybe the larger turbos cannot provide the necessary pressure at lower RPMs.
400N-m at 3900 RPM is the S65 rating...
