Contemporary road tests cited 400Nm for the electric motor and 478Nm 'at speeds up to 22km/h' combined for the G2 Prius - that's fairly specific info if it didn't come from Toyota. Remember that a dyno vs 'flywheel' output can loose around 30% and that dyno pulls usually aren't done at such low speeds. I had a van with 400Nm and at low speeds the Prius feels about the same.
If you Google these figures there are plenty of references to those numbers.
It's my understanding that the Nimh battery continues in the basic Prius.
