I'm interested in this subject however, I'll wait for the English translation.
The post is really directed to all those involved in the nitty gritty details of the power vs. torque debate in many prior threads. We all embraced #2 as pure gospel and it is only "almost" correct.

I used as few formulas as needed with all of the gory detail left out. Tried to keep it all in English rather than formulas. Just think more about both points, #1 and #2. If you understand both and why they are not inconsistent you definitely get it. "It" meaning what really matters in automobile performance, torque vs. power, instantaneous acceleration vs. overall acceleration, torque multiplication by gearing, etc. i.e. all of the key basics.
