Area under the curve matters more than max torque. The V4 has enough torque that the slight bit less it has compared to the 1299 will be far outweighed by the fact that the v4 revs so much higher, giving a LOT more area under the curve.
If you integrate the area under the torque vs engine frequency curve, you get the Horsepower curve. Convert RPM to radians/second and power to hp using 1 hp = 550 ft*lb/sec. Integrate torque(RPM)*d(RPM) to determine area under the curve using the trapezoidal rule. The area of each trapezoidal slice is a HP data point vs RPM. -or you could just look at the HP curves in my video.
