Horsepower is a measurement of the engine's ability to perform work. One SAE
horse is the ability to lift 33,000 lbs one foot in one minute. One DIN
horse is the ability to lift 450000 kg one cm in one minute. For the same
power the SAE measurement is thus 98.629% of the metric DIN measurement.

This page contains some JavaScript formulas to convert fuel efficiency,
horsepower, torque, speed, weight, and temperature. Simply type the number
in one box, press TAB, and the conversion will appear in the other boxes in
that group.
