If you know your vehicle's quarter mile time and weight, enter them into this Horsepower Calculator to estimate your car's horsepower.
Horsepower is a unit of power that measures the rate at which work is done. In the context of vehicles, horsepower refers to the engine's ability to produce power, which determines the car's performance and speed. It is a common measurement used to compare and evaluate the power output of different vehicles.
To convert horsepower (hp) to kilowatts (kW), you can use the following conversion factor:
1 horsepower (hp) = 0.7355 kilowatts (kW)
To convert from horsepower to kilowatts, simply multiply the horsepower value by 0.7355. For example, if you have a car engine with a power output of 200 horsepower, the equivalent power in kilowatts would be:
200 horsepower * 0.7355 = 147.1 kilowatts
So, 200 horsepower is approximately equal to 147.1 kilowatts.
