Power is in principle energy and torpue is not. Power= ((Pi*rounds per sec.)/30)* torque so coming to a conclusion: You need revs or torque to get the power which you need, cause you need kinetic energy which comes from powerin this case. You only need torque to get it.
Don't really know how to explain it. But i'm studying mechanical engineering, so i should know what im talking about.

I don't know which car you have driven before but this makes no kind of sense. There is no way especially in a N/A engine that hp at low rpms feel stronger than hp at near peak. Horsepower is dominant at higher rpms and torque is generally superior at lower rpms in most cases. Just look at a dyno sheet for christ sakes.
