Cars have gearboxes, so absolute engine torque values are pretty meaningless from performance standpoint. What really matters is the power curve.
The R10 has power between 3000-5000rpm, that's 40% of the rev range. A gas engine revving to 10000rpm should be on the power band from 6000 onwards to have a similar range.
