Mike - Audi claims that it has more power now than it did in non-diesel form. From your link:

"The Le Mans Prototype, with over 650 hp and more than 1100 Newton metres of torque, significantly exceeds the power produced by the majority of previous Audi racing cars - including that of its victorious R8 predecessor. "

Having Power and Torque is obviously the best, but if you have to choose, power is going to win on a fast track like Le Mans...
