How long is a piece of string?

The answer to your question depends on a lot of factors. The gearing is
clearly very important. Unless the gearing is right, the engine may not
be at the speed at which it generates peak torque when the car speed is
10m/S.

Then you have to take account of transmission losses and tyre rolling
resistance.

I spent many hundreds of happy hours doing such calculations when I
worked for a motor manufacturer in the 1960's - mainly without the
benefit of computers!
