As you can imagine, horsepower is a rather superficial term. After all, it's not like miners still use horses to lift coal. That's why most manufacturers today measure the power output of their cars in kilowatts. But how much horsepower is one kilowatt exactly?
Answer 1.34
In engineering terms, 1 kilowatt translates to roughly 1.34 mechanical horsepower. That's why many smaller vehicles, especially the ones from European manufacturers, offer 134 horsepower - or a round 100 kilowatts.
