They are linked as Power (BHP) is a formula of torque X Revs
This is why cars with low torque make their power in high revs...Ferrari 360 is quite low on torque so makes peak power up near 8000 / 9000 rpm, i.e. you need the torque figure X many more revs to get a big number....same on a sports bike.
Cars with low down, high torque don't need massive revs for the power output and the design of a high torque engine tends not to rev as much.
