I don't think you need to worry about a lack of low end power. Seeing as we will probably be using a V12 of at least 6L...
Power, whether measured as HP, PS, or KW is what accelerates cars and gets it up to top speed. Power also determines how far you take a wall when you hit it
Engine torque is an illusion.
