Same sump (other than RWD vs AWD) and same sump plug so yes same torque.
Before I switched to the "extraction pump from the top method" I drained the oil countless times on my XFR and F-Type via the sump plug and I never once used a torque wrench when replacing it and I never once had a problem with leaking (not tight enough) or hard to get off (too tight). I simply did it up to the German spec, "gutentite".
