alfasud...after giving much thought, i could conclude that for CVT, both torgue and power works in a unison way theoritically like both sides of a coin...means both works together to reach maximum engine revs.
When accelerating, CVT immediately increases rpm to a steady point and then increases speed and torque by continuously varying it's gear ratios....i'm getting myself confuse but i'm pretty sure torgue have everything to do with it cause you can achieve a steady rpm even if you drives through different type of road conditions.
In a manual or auto transmission mode...each gear shift will ultimately reduce the rpm (even in a very tight ratios), so you'll need power to reach the max torgue for the next gear shift.
make sense dosen't it?
