* Clavel,

I dont own one, but I sometimes do driver duties to an uncle... I also had a lot of driving time in a Fiesta DCT.
200Nm is a lot of torque for small displacement engines. Most 2.0L NA engines are rated at about that value. The current generation Focus with its 2.0L engine produces 200Nm at 4000rpm and also uses the Powershift DCT.

Ford's 1.0L Ecoboost engine is rated at 170Nm from 1500 to 4500 rpm but reaches 200Nm when overboost kicks in when the engine reaches 5000 rpm.
