Don't forget that although the petrol cars have lower torque figures than the diesel versions, the gearing is different (final drive) so the torque at the wheels will be higher per Nm at the flywheel.
A good example is the V8 XC90 has only 10% more flywheel torque than a D5 of the same year.... but it buries it off the block - 0-60 in the region of 30% less.
