Horsepower are only one of the measurements for an engine. These engines have enormous amount of torque which is more important than sheer horsepower.

You can multiply torque with gears, can't multiply horsepower. An engine with lots of torque is important because you can make a lot of horsepower at low rpm, important when you need to make a lot of horsepower for a long time, efficiently.
