Torque is really a vehicle / car performance / diagnostics tool and scanner that uses an OBD II Bluetooth adapter to connect to your OBD2 engine management / ECU
Layout your own dashboard with the widgets / gauges you would like!
It may use the GPS to offer tracker logs with OBD engine logging so you can see what you were doing at any point in time
It can also show and reset a DTC / CEL / fault code like a scantool. Can help you fix your car and helps maintain repair costs down!

Works on any vehicle that uses the OBD 2 standard (most vehicles built after 2000, but can benefit vehicles as far back as 1996) if in doubt check along with your manufacturer first or search for'OBD2'on written on a huge white label in your engine bay

The app requires a Bluetooth OBD2 adapter to work. The adapter is small and plugs to the diagnostics socket on the automobile which provides your phone access. You'll find a listing of adapters on: http://torque-bhp.com/wiki/Bluetooth_Adapters (Garmin EcoRoute HD adapters not supported)
If you buy one of many cheap china OBD2 ELM327 bluetooth adapters from ebay / amazon, then be sure you have a good returns policy with owner
Some of the best reliable OBD2 / OBD adapters will be the Scantool.net adapter, the OBDKey, and PLX Devices, OBDLink, Bluetooth, ELM327 and other adapters are supported - search on google for them
More features added every release - you can find forums at http://torque-bhp.com/forums/ - if you want something added then allow me to know and I'll try to include it when it is possible! Vehicle ECUs vary in the total amount of sensors supported
*PLEASE NOTE* Any reports of hanging or reboots after quitting the app is because of bug in HTC devices and Galaxy Tab,this can be triggered utilizing the Pandora/Vlingo/Other BT apps. Disabling Pandoras new bluetooth settings fixes the issue, but HTC/Samsung need to release a fix.Please contact their support and request a fix,Thanks!
