French term

615Nm de couple... 1.600t/m

French to English Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks Bentley automobile
Les 615Nm de couple sont présents dès 1.600t/m, c'est-à-dire à peine au-dessus du régime de ralenti, ce qui fait qu'ils restent pratiquement constants.
Could anyone translate this sentence? 615Nm, couple, 1.600t/m, régime de ralenti are all unknown to me. This is a text about the famous Bentley automobile. Thanks!

agree Bourth (X) : Though I'd prefer "IS available" and probably Leonid's "torque of 625". Where Nm = Newton-metres (for JH's benefit)

agree bigedsenior : Perfect. Nm is plural, ergo "are".

agree Tony M : Agree with Bourth; if you use Leonid's suggested alternative word order, it becomes clear that the singular 'torque' is in fact the subject, hence 'is' reads better

agree zaphod : There ARE 615 Newton Meters of Torque available AT 1600 RPM.

agree awilliams : yes - rpm in lowercase. I agree with Leonid's point on torque, but couldn't he just have added a note to your answer? :-)
