Chelsea were ahead after less than a minute, Daniel Sturridge scored in 45 seconds before John Terry headed home and Torres struck twice as Chelsea swept into a 4-0 lead after 25 minutes.
Torres sealed his hat-trick after the break, with Florent Malouda making it 6-0 before Djibril Cisse's consolation.
Chelsea are sixth, with Queens Park Rangers above the drop zone on goal difference.
The Blues reached the Champions League final in midweek by completing a two-legged win over Barcelona and would qualify as defending champion if it beats Bayern Munich for the trophy, leaving England's fourth-place team to enter the second-tier Europa League instead.
“After a Champions League game in midweek, it always proves difficult in the next game in the Premier League,” Chelsea interim manager Roberto Di Matteo said.
“I have to say that the team surprised me. I wasn't expecting, but I was hoping. They really put in a great performance today.”
