Velociraptor should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

407 Nm @ 9,000 rpm
305 Nm @ 12,000 rpm

The general rule is that NA no DI 3.7 L engine will max out around <400 Nm, so it needs to rev to 9,000 rpm. TS050 needs 4.8 engine from Lexus LFA

IMHO, they would be better off with a big DFI V8 a'la AMG's M156 6.2 litre or Toyota's own 5 liter...
