In a road car, I would use one word "marketing" for the reasons for 4 front wheels..

4500rpm, that's be a rough ride. I would have thought that 3000rpm would be a good ceiling. But the bigger they get the slower they spin.
It also has a low compression ratio even for a turbocharged motor.
Just for comparison a proper truck (Kenworth) with 11 litre 6cyl had 425 hp with 1550 ftlb at 1200rpm |

True true. I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to diesel engines. I liked the one in the 1960's Hough Front End Loader I used to drive in my old job though. It was very very loud, and slow as hell, but holy parc, it had some torque. Very handy for pulling tree stumps!!
