This things are not so linear... so easy to generalize. But in a way its correct.

What i was comparing was Audi to Peugeot, they have the same displacement... then, when you have more power strokes for each rev of the crankshaft, there is a tremendous amount of chance that you can get more torque, than an engine that has the same displacement but less power stokes per rev.
