Much confusion

Over heard some of my fellow class mates talking about the difference between Kw and Nm. So what is the difference? It is simple. A Kw is a metric unit of power - Nm is the amount of torque an engine makes.

So how does it all work out in a car, the Golf R for example has a 2.0L turbocharged 188kw engine, @6000rpm all this power is available and between 2500-5000rpm 350Nm are available.
