Does 200 horsepower literally mean the power of 200 horses?
Horsepower was originally defined to compare the output of steam engines with the power of draft horses in continuous operation. Stevenson and Wassersug observe that for sustained activity, a work rate of about 1 hp per horse is consistent with agricultural advice from both 19th and 20th century sources. So, while it is an estimation, the general idea is that 1hp is the work rate of one horse. ChaCha!

About Horsepower
Horsepower (HP) is a measure of how much power is being produced from a motor. 1 HP is equal to 550 foot-pounds per second or 746 Watts. An actual horse puts out about 15 HP at max speed and about 1 HP for sustained activity. All though a car's weight and torque play a huge roll in its speed, horsepower ultimately determines the power.
