It was designed with sufficient horsepower so that gears could select a torque necessary to maintain a speed. Horsepower (not torque) is always the relevant parameter.
As usual, due to too much emotion and insufficient knowledge, you again got it wrong.
4 cylinder engine can produce that same torque. But insufficient speed - due to insufficient horsepower. You also got that wrong.
Anyone not educated by hearsay (who can do simple multiplication) would know that. Only motors with sufficient horsepower can produce a torque at required speeds. Somehow that multiplication is just too hard - the routine expression from another lesser educated man called George Jr.
Meanwhile, that engine apparently had a very short life span due to its low performance numbers.
