Horsepower (HP) is a non-SI unit of power. There is no unified definition of HP, so HP is not recommended and can be replaced by kilowatts (kW). However, car specifications often use both kilowatts (kW) and horsepower (ag), so you can easily convert them with this calculator.
Car documents contain two numbers related to the power an engine generates: horsepower and torque. In Europe, these numbers are given as kilowatts and newton meters. In North America, they are measured in horsepower and pounds per foot. The main difference between the two is that horsepower is a measure of power that indicates the amount of energy transferred over a period of time, while Newton meters is a measure of torque that measures rotational force that has no unit of time.
Horse Power (HP) | Kilowatts (KW) | Explanation |
---|---|---|
110 (at) | 82.03 (kW) | One hundred and ten horsepower |
115 (at) | 85.76 (kW) | One hundred and fifteen horsepower |
120 (at) | 89.46 (kW) | One hundred and twenty horsepower |
130 (at) | 96.94 (kW) | One hundred and thirty horsepower |
140 (at) | 104.4 (kw) | One hundred and forty horsepower |
150 (at) | 111.85 (kw) | One hundred and fifty horsepower |
