Urban areas? Forget horsepower for the time being -- horsepower is only a function of your torque value at a given RPM (the higher the RPM the higher the horsepower, even with the same torque). In an urban area you're not going to be winding it out much, but you do want that blast in the back from a strong torque motor. 450 ft/lbs will do you nicely and a good flat torque curve that comes in early and stays flat will make you happier in the city.
