Could be, but seems a little for the high, OTOH 2000 to 3000 RPM seems clearly on the low part...
In that telemetry video the R18 engine of 2013, rarely passes below the 3000 RPM... only in 2 occasions on the 2 slowest corners at Le Mans, for the rest is quite above 3K, matter of fact most of time during a lap that engine is above 4K (peaks on top of 4900 from 1th to 2th gear)...
So i don't think above 1000Nm will be possible... yet above 4000 RPM is quite possible... 1100Nm at 4K RPM is ~618 hp... at 4500 RPM is 695 hp... it would be a beating!... and so far its not what happens (even 1000Nm could be not possible for only 4L on fuel restrictions... but is close... for 4500 RPM the same story... close)
@ GasperG
I think Toyota ( or someone close) leaked top 9K RPM for the 2013 engine... we can extrapolate from there.
