163 horsepower (ps) = 119.8862963 kilowatts (kW). Here is some additional information: Imperial horsepower: The concept of the horsepower unit was named by James Watt, the improver of the steam engine, to represent the power of the steam engine relative to the pulling power of horses. It is defined as "the power of a horse capable of pulling 33,000 pounds at a speed of one foot per minute," with watts (W) or kilowatts (kW) used as standard units. Comparing horses and machines: machines still have greater power. There is a famous Chinese saying: "A long journey tests a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's heart." The "horse's strength" mentioned here means that although a horse's power is great, due to the "long journey," its strength is still limited. In contrast, machines invented by modern humans are tireless, with continuous and inexhaustible power.
