Hi,

The horsepower is a traditional unit of power (aka amount of work per time
unit)roughly equal to 0.8 kW. Torque is a product of force and leverage,
measured in Newtons per meter (or pound per foot here in USA). There is no
(physical) relation between the two of them. They are related, though,
while discussing the internal combustion engines, as both usually increase
with rpm's, but have different dependences. Hope this won't confuse more.
Regards,
Vytas
