Take a look at this list from Wikipedia, tons of great information

This specific quote struck me:
Most torque
"Petrol (naturally-aspirated) - 760 N·m (561 ft·lb-ft), 2005 Pagani Zonda F 7.3 L (7291 cc/445 in³) V12 engine.
Honorable Mention: 1760 N·m (1298.1 ft·lbf), 2006 Weineck Cobra 780 cui Limited Edition (12782 cc/780 in³) V8 engine. (Production car status is debatable.)
Petrol (forced-induction) - 1250 N·m (922 ft·lbf), 2005 Bugatti Veyron 8.0 L (7993 cc/488 in³) quad-turbocharged W16 engine."
Now for a naturally aspirated engine i've looked and have only found one naturally aspirated vehicle with more torque, but whether it qualfies or not is to debate. The TVR Speed 12 is the vehicle, it's 7.7 litre V12 develops a little over 900Nm, however the Speed 12 never made it into production, only one was made for the road. So that excludes it from being a production vehicle. So for current production vehicles it does have the most. However if i am correct the CLK GTR had 775Nm, but then the Zonda F Clubsport has 780Nm. Is there any vehicle above that? In production or out of production? (must be road legal and naturally aspirated)
Not arguing, just curious
