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.
