First of all, two preliminary considerations:
1) N/Nmax intended as rpm engine, does each step means the % of torque refering to the max torque available? something like example 0.55, meaning 385Nm of a max 700Nm?
2) is this the mandatory power/torque curve of both lmh and lmdh?
Because it tells the sum of all 4 wheels power, it let me think it's more about hybrid lmh.
Anyway this doesn't change a lot the overall picture since with a turbo engine + hybrid release you can virtually get the torque/power curve you wish through mandatory pressure boost and hybrid release software, good luck to achieve that with a not bespoke NA engine.
At the same time, it doesnt' change what I was meaning about the 918 engine... you could eventually be able to set the torque/power curve that way, but the torque release of a NA 4.6L will be however lower than the one released by a turbo engine... the same about fuel efficiency... a smaller engine will require to rev higher anyhow to get high power, so fuel efficiency will be worse anyhow (why mazda engine revving >9000rpm needs a larger fuel tank than other dpi revving at 7000-7500rpm?). At the end you just can't bop physics.
