Torque doesn't exist without RPM and load, at which point you have enough variables to derive power. Technically torque cannot exist without power, not the other way around. Power is work over time and work is change in energy. The fuel you burn develops work in the form of Piston speed change (over time), which the crankshaft's moment arm translates into torque. But there is only torque when there is an opposing force to resist it (grip)
How much Torque does your car make at 0RPM?
