According to Saab, a standard 9kt 2.3 manual has 200 bhp/147 kW at 5000 rpm, and 330 Nm torque at 1900 rpm. The 2.3 automatic has exactly the same power, but torque is restricted to 300 Nm, both at identical engine speeds. Forget whether the units are metric or imperial – these figures don't bear out the simple formula you give.
My Mercedes diesel van, by the way, is rated at 122 bhp/90 kW at 3800 rpm, but with the same 300 Nm torque as the Saab, between 1800 and 2500 rpm.
I'm probably missing something (like another Woodford's) but an explanation would be very welcome!
