1 Answers
The maximum horsepower (Ps) of the Mercedes-Benz C63 is 507. It features a dual-clutch transmission. Categories of automotive horsepower: Horsepower is divided into metric horsepower and imperial horsepower. Generally, it refers to metric horsepower rather than imperial horsepower. 1 horsepower is equivalent to performing 75 kilogram-force meters of work in 1 second, which is also equal to 0.735 kilowatts, or known as metric horsepower. 1 imperial horsepower equals 550 foot-pounds per second, equivalent to 76 kilogram-force meters per second, or 0.746 kilowatts. In China's legal measurement units, the unit of power is the watt. Metric horsepower: Metric horsepower, also known as meter-based horsepower, is entirely a man-made standard, set to a value very close to imperial horsepower. It is defined as 1 metric horsepower being the work done to perform 75 kilogram-force meters in 1 second. That is: 1 metric horsepower = 75 kilogram-force meters/second = 735 watts. Imperial horsepower: The concept of the horsepower unit was named by James Watt, the improver of the steam engine, to represent the power of his 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 1 foot per minute," with the standard units being watts (W) or kilowatts (kW).
