Default power to weight ratio??????

The Challenger 2 has a twelve-cylinder, 1,200hp Perkins Caterpillar CV12 diesel engine and a David Brown TN54 gearbox, with six forward and two reverse gears. Second-generation Hydrogas suspension and hydraulic track tensioner are fitted. The maximum speed by road is 59km/h and 40km/h cross country. The range is given as 450km by road and 250km cross country.


with this we all strive to produce horse power, but the tank a drive only produces 1200 hp, but it propels 62 t of weight less armour less ammo so lets say all that and me four mates 70t, why is torque so great????????
