Think about it, how could an AWD car with 10x the toque of most performance cars have a 0-60 in the high 4 second range without being insanely more massive? If it actually had that much torque it would be more than any semi tractor on the road.

Honestly, I thought about questioning the torque number the same way you did but I don't know THAT much about cars lol. I don't really know much about them when it comes down to very technical things like you described.
