I’m thinking of a sports car vs. tow truck. An engine built for speed, and an engine built for power (torque). How do the engines react differently under extreme conditions? I.e being pushed to the max. What’s built different? Etc.

Consider two engines with the same displacement. Displacement is calculated by multiplying the stroke length of the pistons by the cross-sectional area of the cylinder. A sports engine will be built to make high engine speed which is more easily achieved by a short stroke, so it will have a larger bore. Low engine speeds seeking more torque have longer piston stroke because the greater distance the connecting rod is from the crankshaft acid, the greater the torque output. These engines will have smaller bores.
