Clarkson never did think much. "Torques" are just turning effort without a time factor. The glorious artworks of the Caterpillar Tractor Company have bags of torque but shockingly little horsepower. They don't need it. Dragsters, on the other hand have monstrous power but bugger-all torque.
I stopped watching Clarkson's show years ago because there awe enough ar**holes already; I don't need to sit in front of a TV watching them.
