Any kid from elementary school science can see through that lie. Same torque can be obtained from the motor in an electric clock. Just change gear ratios.

It is a 19.5 horsepower per liter engine. If diesel, then acceptable for that period. If gasoline, it was a marginal design. Which would explain why it was only made for a short time. Too little speed to provide necessary torque - due to insufficient horsepower.
